Met Gala Fashion Favorites by Munaluchi Editorial Team

Last night was the Oscars…for fashion that is.  The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala happens each year and showcases fashion at its best.  Celebrities and fashionistas gathered at the Museum in pure fashion disharmony yesterday…The theme was punk – “Chaos to Couture” and to be quite frank, not too many of the celebrities that attended really nailed the punk theme in my opinion.  But there were some that stood out for all of us here at MBM.  Here are our favorite picks from last night Met Gala.

Me – Hands down, Sarah Jessica Parker nailed the look the best, in my opinion.  This, to me, is what  happens when couture and chaos have a baby.  She wore Giles, Christian Louboutin boots, Philip Treacy headpiece, and Fred Leighton jewelry.

My other top picks were Rooney Mara in Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci and Taylor Swift in J Mendel.

Beyonce was the honorary chair of the event, and one of the last to arrive. In pure Beyonce style, she cleared the red carpet when she arrived in this Givency number with flaming boots and gloves to match.  Actually, she flew in from London for the gala, and flew right back after the event for a show.  Dedication.

Other notables…
Kerry Washington- “Love the gloves, and makeup. Loved that Vera Wang took a very feminine peplum and purple print and made it edgy with the deep V neck, black fishnet cutout at the bust.
Uma Thurman: Wow, the green color and construction of that dress. Only she could pull that off.
Honorable mention: Jennifer Lopez’s hair. This is how you do it ladies!”

“Madonna, Anne Hathaway, and Sarah Jessica Parker all scored high in my book for bringing the PUNK. Especially, Madonna. In true material girl fashion she stole the show by fulling embracing the theme from the hardware, the chains, and the fish nets.”
Top Hot Couples

Amar’e Stoudemire in Calvin Klein Collection and wife Alexis Stoudemire 9-months pregnant in couture Giambattista Valli.
