The Metropolitan Museum of Art presented this year’s Costume Institute Benefit Gala with more stars lining up on the Red Carpet than an ordinary Oscar event. And to think that Anna Wintour’s curated event was under the influence of the American Women (fashioning a National Identity) circa 1890-1940! I was trying hard to see through [...]

Let’s say you’re a Hollywood A-lister. Or close (to A). And you’re attending an official event alongside your big/small screen peers. What’s your unique approach? Fashion-wise? Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel had more than just their names to share for the Met Gala 2010. They both went for (very) similar silky dresses. Jessica Biel was [...]

Jennifer Lopez went for a glitzy number while attending the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute 2010 Gala: Zuhair Murad’s dress was Red Carpet appropriate and still a safe sartorial choice. I was expecting something more like Diane Kruger’s Calvin Klein’s dress, something that’ll emphasize JLo’s curvy body. Instead I was surprised to see how beautiful and [...]

Looking like sisters (and behaving like high school bffs), Liv Tyler and Kate Hudson keep their loyalty towards Stella McCartney. They both showed up, just like the last time, with the British designer on the Red Carpet of the Met’s Costume Institute 2010 Gala.

So seeing her at the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute 2010 Gala wearing a tight, sculptural Calvin Klein blue dress is part of that above-mentioned perfection program. Pairing with Diane Kruger’s white silhouette for Calvin Klein, Zoe Saldana is the modest, [...]

Now here’s something we don’t get to see every day! Diane Kruger on the Met Gala 2010 Red Carpet wearing something not-Chanel! How is that possible? Something’s going on – Chanel with Kristen Stewart and Diane Kruger with Calvin Klein? Though anything she would have chosen from Chanel would have most certainly have made her [...]

Now going from black to white, charming Emma Watson joins the celebration of the American Woman’s Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute’s 2010 Gala wearing (what else) a Burberry dress. Not objecting (except for the dramatic slit contrasting strangely with the upper part of her dress – making me believe this cut [...]

As much as I could appreciate (my own manner, of course) the Kaiser, I can’t approve his choosing Kristen Stewart to represent the house of Chanel for the Metropolitan Museum of Art 2010 Gala. Aside from the huge publicity she’d bring. And that’s a bad couture move for the Kaiser. Despite of the dress being [...]
