2013 Met Gala – The oscars of fashion channel the punk era

Sarah Jessica Parker mixed punk with glamour and showed off her fashion A-list status in a Giles Deacon gown, plaid Christian Louboutin boots and a Philip Treacy feathered headpiece.
Fashion’s biggest night took over New York City last night. The venue was the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the theme was dark, edgy and rebellious. Simply put, it was punk. Anna Wintour hosted the event with actress Rooney Mara who brought her best version of punk to the big screen in the english speaking version of “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”. The event’s other co-chair was socialite and Vogue contributing editor, Lauren Santo Domingo. The punk themed event apparently caused a frenzy amongst stylists and stars alike as many wondered how they would mix this very specific style with the glamour that the red carpet requires. As stars from the entertainment, fashion and sports world congregated on the famed Metropolitan stairs, the one question on everyone’s mind as always was “who are you wearing?”. Here’s a breakdown of the night’s most daring looks.

Beyonce disappointed in an overwhelmingly un-punk paisley Ricardo Tisci gown with matching paisley boots (trust us, we never thought we’d put paisley and boots together in one sentence either)

Last year’s co-host Carey Mulligan kept with the dark and edgy theme in a chocolate brown cut-out dress

Ginnifer Goodwin’s punky pixie was right at home at the event. The actress looked stunning in Tory Burch

Gwyneth Paltrow wasn’t the only one who equated pink with punk. Anna Wintour vouched for the color as well.

January’s Mad Men co-star Jessica Pare also went with dramatic eyes paired with a blue Jason Wu halter

Kerry Washington went gothic in a purple Vera Wang gown which she matched to her hair and paired with elbow length leather gloves

The worst dressed award of the night went to Kim Kardashian who made her Met Gala debut in head to toe floral print Ricardo Tisci

Call us crazy but we love that Nicole Richie went all the way punk in her colored hair and beaded column gown

Rue de Chic Style Tip: Irresistibly Chic Blazers for Spring
In a sea of gorgeous colors, prints and chic trends, it’s so difficult to pick one must-have item for spring. After sifting through an array of to-die-for and can’t-live-without-you pieces, we’ve concluded that the spring blazer takes the top spot. An incredibly versatile piece that creates a totally effortless look, transitions perfectly from day to night and can be worn with a pair of shorts, skirt, jeans, dress, strappy heels, oxfords, ballet flats ….need we say more? What’s your must-have item for spring? Share your thoughts below!
Spring trend alert: Floating in pastel prints
We’ve already established that prints are in this season. From tribal prints to stripes and polka dots, it’s all about going bold. For those that are a little hesitant about these statement prints, no need to worry, you can always go soft. The switch to softer colors came over year ago and this trend completely dominated the red carpet at premières and during the awards season.
With designers taking inspiration from the 70s, get ready for an influx of pastel prints. The beauty of this trend actually lies in it’s timelessness – it’s why it seems to pop up every few years. The look is incredibly soft and light as air….the fact that it almost creates a floating illusion on the wearer is just the cherry on top. Share your thoughts on pastel prints below…loving it or willing to pass on it?
