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.

Spring trend alert: Floating in pastel prints

Halle Berry in a gorgeous Emilio Pucci number

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?

Look of the Day – Blake Lively’s take on the LBD

Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively hits another home run at the Boston premiere of “The Town” at Fenway Park. Her chic little black dress by Antonio Berardi is structured but feminine. Incorporating some of fall’s biggest trends like shoulder pads, lace and an exposed zipper, she looks polished and elegant. The popped collar and her gray platform pumps complete her look and give her a bit of an edge.
