my met ball picks

Here are some of my favorite looks from this years Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala, a.k.a the end all be all of fashion events!

SJP in Halsotn looking fab per usual. Really loving the accordion pleats on her...

Ivanka Trump...another woman I think is fab times a million! Can I just say that I admire the whole Trump family. She's wearing Versace by the way. I wonder if the front is as beautiful as the back. From what I see here, this is one of the best looks of the night.

Zoe Saldana in Calvin Klein...I'm normally not a fan of the asymmetrical look on skinny chicks, but I must say she is rocking it!

Speaking of skinny chicks, Nicole Richie wears vintage/vintage inspired looks like nobody's business. This particular dress is Marc Jacobs.

Not familiar with Macaulay Culkin's but this disheveled black and white number, designed by Vera Wang, is perfect for a costume gala!

Chanel Iman took a risk in this Michael Kors jumpsuit and I think it worked! I wish more people would have followed her lead and not played it so safe. Check out the woman's face in the back. Lol!

Holy Hotness Kerry Washington...STUNNING! Her dress is Thakoon for Gap (yes, GAP), and if you want it, you can bid on it by clicking HERE!

Last but certainly not least, my fav look of the evening is Kate Bosworth in Valentino. OMG! From the hair to the understated jewelry choices and obviously the dress, I think she looks flawless! This looks makes me want to get dressed up!

Overall, I was underwhelmed in the sense that it's the costume gala and people should take risks and BRING IT. There were some gorgeous dresses, but I kinda felt like I was looking at pictures from the Oscars red carpet. What do you guys think?
