The Met Ball 2013

The annual Costume Institute Gala AKA The Met Ball was held in New York on Sunday. The theme this year was Punk: Chaos to Couture, and whilst some celebs were on the money with subtle hints of the punk theme others took it to a whole new level and for all the wrong reasons. The biggest names in fashion and showbiz attended with the likes of Beyonce, Katy Perry, Anna Wintour and Madonna strutting down the red carpet. Some dresses were absolutely amazing although some needed to reconsider who their stylists where. Here's my low down on the best dressed of the night!

Sienna Miller
Sienna Miller in Burberry. I love the combination of the floor length classic white dress with the punk twist of a completely gold studded biker jacket. This gives the outfit a totally different look and fits the theme perfectly.

Amber Heard
Amber Heard in Emilio Pucci. A gorgeous head turning dress, although she does slightly merge into the red carpet!

Bee Shaffer (Anna Wintours daughter)
Bee Shaffer (Anna Wintours daughter) in Christian Dior couture. Huge shoes to feel but she carries this dress of perfectly with minimal accessories to let to dress shine

Cara Delevingne
Cara Delevingne in Burberry Prorsum. She looks absolutely stunning in this dress, a complete contrast to her usual tomboy style. This is how to do the Punk: chaos to couture right, with the studded top and plunging neckline!

Dakota Fanning
Dakota Fanning in Rodarte. So grown up and sophisticated, i love the cut out sides and the plunging neckline.

Emmy Rossum
Emmy Rossum in Donna Karan Atelier. This dress is amazing and so glamorous!

Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior. A typical Dior style dress, effortlessly classic and sophisticated.

Jessica Hart
Jessica Hart in Azzedine Alaia. I love the back of the dress!

Kate Beckinsale
Kate Beckinsale in Alberta Ferretti. This is how to take on the punk theme yet still remain utterly glamorous!
 
Stacy Keibler
Stacy Keibler in Rachel Roy. Studded to the max, a complete rock chic look!

Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift in J. Mendel. This dress is amazing, i love the embellished neckline and detailing!

Zhang Ziyi
Zhang Ziyi in Jason Wu. Another red dress of the night, a definite stand out

And unfortunately there were a few misses...

Ashley Olsen
Ashley Olsen. This could have been a nice dress but the cape ruins it and does not show the dress off well.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, both in Givenchy. Why oh why does Kim feel like she has to wear the most figure hugging of outfits whilst pregnant. I am not keen on her anyway and throughout her pregnancy she has worn some real shockers, this been one of the most unflattering!

Gisele Bundchen
Gisele Bundchen in Anthony Vaccarello. She has definitely got the punk theme down but I'm not keen on the dress

Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart in Stella McCartney. What was she thinking??!! This is one of the worst of the night in my opinion.

Mary-Kate Olsen
Mary-Kate Olsen. I'm on the fence with this one. In some ways i think its a cool vintage look and in others it looks like she is playing dress up with curtains

Sarah Jessica Parker Mohawk
Sarah Jessica Parker in Giles. She really took the punk theme to a whole new level with a Mohawk head piece!


Who do you think was the best (or worst) dressed of the night?
