There’s probable just one way to know if you are a heavyweight in the world of fashion. An invitation to the Met Gala it is. Last year we celebrated the Savage Beauty of the work of one of the biggest geniuses we’ve had in fashion, Lee McQueen.

2012 was a year of the female power. The queens of the exhibition are Elsa Schiaparelli & Miuccia Prada, two individuals that shared two obsessions, beauty & how it impacted the lives of women.

As you may know, the Met Gala is like the best night in all of the fashion calendar, here you HAVE to dare to really have fun with the clothes since it’s such a magical night.

So, I decided to organize a boxing match between two trends that were seen last night, it’s up to you to choose the winner! In the left corner we have The Golden Girls, leaded by the woman of the night, Miuccia Prada, followed by Carey Mulligan in custom made Prada, Mad Men’s new gal pal Jessica Pare, Bianca Brandolini, Donatella “va-va-voom” Versace, BG’s Linda Fargo in personalized Naeen Khan, Leighton Meester in Marchesa, DRee Hemingway in Topshop & whole battalion of golden sirens.

On the other corner we have The Exhibitionists Black Dahlias whose leader is none other than Uncle Marc, Marion Cotillard & The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara, followed by Beyonce, Renee Zelllweger in Emilio Pucci, Chloe Sevigny in Miu Miu, Vogue’s former fashion news editor Sally Singer in Nina Ricci.

There were also girls that were in the audience, watching the match but obviously in synch with some ongoing trends. Peplum Gals: Elizabeth Banks in Mary Katrantzou (do not try that at home), Eva Mendes in Prada, Diana Agron in Carolina Herrera, Solange Knowles in Rachel Roy, Emma Roberts in Escada, January Jones in Atelier Versace, Sofia Vergara in Marchesa & last but not least, Jessica Stam in Dior.


Finally, there is the 5KM Legs Team. While Angelina is busy arranging her wedding these girls are disrupting public order by showing those impressive legs (& in one case, much more). Anja Rubik took the thing to the extreme in Anthony Vaccarello, one of the Clarins girls in Mugler, Jenna Courtin-Clarins, Liv Tyler in Givenchy, Lea Michele in DVF, Elettra Wiedemann in Sophie Theallet, Carine Roitfeld in Givenchy Couture & last but def not least, red carper queen, Gisele Bundchen.


So, in your opinion, which team was really feeling the Met Gala?

A Ball to remember…

I think this is the day all fashionista is waiting for the whole year. The Super Bowl of the fashion world.
Since we are celebrating Alexander McQueen this gala was meant to be pure extravaganza, show stopping dresses
& gowns walked the red stairs, stairs that lead the path to the exhibition, the one I’ve been talking about
all year & the one I’ll be enjoying this Thursday ( not bragging, just superb happy :D ). I have to pack everything
my flight leaves at 10.25 & haven’t even selected the pieces I’ll be taking, & I will have to be very very
picky now, I want to shop like a maniac.

Now back to the Gala, these are the looks that surprised me, the looks that haunt me, the looks that
I’d die to have:


Para mi el MET Ball es como el mundial de fútbol pero en el mundo de la moda, es la gala a la cual todos van
para impresionar (si no me creen solamente checkeen las galas anteriores, especialmente la que tenía a los
superheroes como tema). Desde Madonna hasta Rihanna (las –nnas son las más fabulosas), desde Karle Kloss
hasta Raquel Zimmermann, todo el mundo espera el MET Ball.
Este año el tema principal fue Savage Beauty, título que también tiene la exhibición que se celebraba, en honor
a Lee McQueen (si no saben de que hablo debe ser porque me visitan por primera vez, he estado hablando de
eso toodo el año).
Y por cierto, estén atentos porque voy a esta exhibición y claro que tomaré fotos para todos ustedes :)
Como se que lo que ustedes quieren es ver y no leer, me callo y aqui van los vestidos y las personas más fabulosas
de la noche:








for those who may not know, this woman is one of my muses, she’s just spectacular/ para los que no sepan esta
mujer es algo parecido a mi musa, es espectacular.

this is just MAJOR, you can’t get any better than this, the dress yells DRAMA
