Cate Blanchett was a guest of Alexander McQueen ‘s head-designer Sarah Burton on Monday night for the 2012 MET Gala.

The 42-year-old statuesque actress hit the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing a daring black trumpet gown from the Fall 2012 collection that was completely embroidered in black feathers.

I love the silhouette and style; Cate looked lovely in it. Sure, it was extravagant but it wasn’t tacky and nothing else was overdone.

Cate kept the look chic with a high-volume low ponytail and a fresh face of make-up. In fact, her lightly lined eyes and pale glossy lips were pretty much flawless. | continue reading..

Leslie Mann joined her husband Judd Apatow (not pictured) on the red carpet on Monday evening for the annual Metropolitan Costume Institute Gala where she wore a beautiful blushing pink embroidered mullet gown by Nina Ricci.

The Pre-Fall 2012 silk chiffon gown featured thin adjustable straps and a full front of large ruffles that trimmed the long train.

A crystal embellished black grosgrain belt sat at the center of her waist and matched her black lace up open toe satin sandals.

Leslie wore her long blonde hair in a teased swept up style with straying face framing pieces.

She finished off her look with a crystal embroidered minaudière.

Abbie Cornish was among the star-studded guest list for the MET Costume Institute Gala on Monday evening in New York City to celebrate the opening of the “Schiaparelli And Prada: Impossible Conversations” exhibit.

The “Sucker Punch” actress wore an archived haute couture ball gown from Christian Dior ‘s Spring 2010 collection; a raisin-colored wide v-neck bodice that attached to a full tonal textured black gown skirt.

I like the dress, but I feel like she needed a cool Victorian necklace or something.

I’m not a big fan of her hair at all. She should have just left all of it out in pincurls instead of just that straying piece.

I almost missed Hailee Steinfeld on the red carpet at the MET Gala this past Monday — but she didn’t stay hidden for long!

The 15-year-old attended the opening of the “Schiaparelli And Prada: Impossible Conversations” exhibit wearing a Miu Miu blush pink silk organza ribbon trimmed strapless gown embellished with animated glass and crystal embroidery.

I love the stunning stunning appliqués on this dress!

Hailee’s mega long locks weren’t distracting, but because of them I can’t tell if they’re making her bodice look like it’s slouching down or if it actually needs an adjustment.

She completed her look with Miu Miu heels.

Solange Knowles looked amazing in a yellow peplum gown by Rachel Roy as she joined the designer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday night for the annual Costume Institute Gala. This year the soirèe honored the opening of the  “Schiaparelli And Prada: Impossible Conversations” exhibition.

The sunflower color really popped against the 25-year-old’s rich and even complexion.

I like that she limited her jewelry to dazzling up one hand with a sparkling gold and glitter deco cuff bracelet, multiple rings and a matching shimmering long clutch. | continue reading..

Marion Cotillard represented Christian Diorat the 2012 MET Gala on Monday night wearing a gorgeous two-tone gown from the Spring 2012 haute couture collection.

“The Dark Knight Rises” actress selected a strapless black sequin paillette embroidered design with a sheer rich violet skirt in which the detailed scattered about a the top.

I think the dress looks amazing on her, but I’m disappointed in the fact that the single sleeve violet shrug that was paired with this look on the runway was absent. Majorly disappointed. | continue reading..

Lena Dunham wasn’t the only “Girls” star on the red carpet for the 2012 MET Gala this past Monday — her costar Allison Williams arrived to the star-packed soirèe in vibrant magenta!

The 31-year-old actress selected a Fall 2012 strapless column silk charmuese gown by Ralph Lauren Collection.

Allison kept her look fairly simple for her MET debut. She accessorized with a gold metallic minaudière that matched her gold bracelets, ring and earrings.

She left her long chestnut brown tresses out and cascading down her back.

Kristen Wiig was such a favorite of mine on Monday night for the annual Metropolitan Costume Institute Gala. This year it honored the opening of “Schiaparelli And Prada: Impossible Conversations”.

The “Bridesmaids” actress wore a bright orange lace tea-length sleeveless dress from the Winter 2012 Evening collection by designer Stella McCartney.

Kristen was a guest of Stella’s for the gala — along with Cameron Diaz and M.I.A. | continue reading..

Cameron Diaz was a vision in glittering champagne gold when she arrived at the 2012 MET Costume Institute Gala on Monday evening to celebrate the opening of the “Schiaparelli And Prada: Impossible Conversations” exhibit.

The “What To Expect When You’re Expecting” star was a guest of designer Stella McCartney along with actress Kristen Wiig and rapper M.I.A. Cameron wore a custom made beaded long-sleeve gown with a draped open back.

She kept her look minimal as the dress shimmered enough to grab all of the attention. Cameron carried a gold evening clutch and wore drop diamonds earrings. | continue reading..

Christina Ricci wore a very interesting and intense design for the 2012 MET Gala on Monday night.

The “Bel Ami” actress hit the red carpet with Thakoon Panichgul in a custom made cocktail dress that featured black netting over a ivory charmeuse dress.

The pale fabric asymmetrically pleated at the bodice before traveling down into a pencil cut dress. As for the back, the design blossomed into a huge ribbon bow with strips that pooled at the floor behind Christina. | continue reading..
