We Got Kidz Goes to the Costume Institute Gala… Sort of – The Best and the Worst Dressed at This Year’s Met Ball
The Costume Institute Gala took place this past Monday, and the celebrities did not disappoint when it came to the fancy frocks and shiny baubles.
The Costume Institute Gala (or Costume Institute Ball), for those who aren’t aware, is known as the Met Ball and nicknamed the “Oscars of the East Coast”. It happens every year and is thrown to celebrate the annual opening of the Metropolitan Museum’s, AKA The Met, fashion exhibit at the Costume Institute. The red carpet evening gives many celebs the opportunity to come out dressed to impress. It’s been described as the fashion industry’s “Night of Nights”, and is regarded as the top annual social event in New York City.
Every year there’s a different theme, this year’s theme I’m not even going to share. Just know that it was full of designer names that the average person doesn’t know and a metaphor that’s too deep for it’s own good.
So as you can see, this ball is the shizz-nit, and celebrities take it as their opportunity to go wild. The fashion is exquisite, and if you’re even the slightest bit artsy, you’ll enjoy the fashions just like I do. Flip through and check out the best and the worst outfits from this year’s gala.
Best
Paula Patton
The details on Paula Patton's Vera Wang gown are gorgeous, and she sets it off beautifully with minimal jewelry.
Best
Beyonce
This, in my opinion, is just plain hot. If I had her body and the money I'd show my goodies off too.
Best
Rihanna
This Tom Ford number - made to look like crocodile skin - is actually made from individual pieces of leather. Hot!
Best
Sofia Vergara
This dramatic number worn by Ms. Vergara is perfect for the occasion. The details are delicate and beautiful.
Best
Solange Knowles
Solange has come into her own in the fashion world. Here, she drives the point home in this gorgeous yellow number that complements her skin tone perfectly.
Best
Tom Ford and Model Chanel Iman
This is what the costume gala is all about. These two represent style and grace. Chanel's Tom Ford dress is the right amount of drama for such an occasion, and Tom Ford looks amazing as always.
Worst
Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz
The pants on Alicia's suit are crazy. Are those peddle pushers? Maybe I'm out of touch.
Worst
Janelle Monae
This, what I believe to be satin, romper is pretty but I'm not sure it's right for the occasion.
Worst
Lala and Husband Carmelo Anthony
La La looks stunning in this custom made Zac Posen, but it's plain. This is a "costume" gala girl! Where is your sparkle?...and what's up with Carmelo's slippers?
Worst
Marc Jacobs
Marc Jacobs is known for his cutting edge fashion designs, but I'm not really sure what to say about his choice of attire for the evening.
Worst
Sara Jessica Parker
Although to some degree I believe that Sara Jessica Parker can wear anything she wants, this Valentino number is a bit too "grandma's curtains" for me.
