BEST DRESSED: 2012 MET GALA

This year’s MET Gala (aka the Oscar’s of the East Coast) was filled with couture explosions and glamour.

For those of you who don’t know what all of the hollabalooza is about,
it is the celebratory annual ball in which the reopening of the Metropolitan Museum’s fashion exhibit at the Costume Institute occurs.Women slap on their sexiest pair of heels, whip out their statement jewelry pieces and gather up some of the most extravagant gowns for this East Coast event while men get dappered up in the most exquisite pant suits…
All with the hopes of striking gold with photographers and audiences like you and me around the world for a glamorous red carpet appeal… as well as some oohs and ahhs.

A2F Best Dressed: Sofia Vergara in Marchesa
Sofia Vergara showed off her voluptuous curves in a strapless peplum and sheer lace dress by Marchesa. This under toned dress brought out color and some glow on Sofia’s body, making her look flawless.
 

A2F Best Dressed: Solange Knowles in Rachel Roy
Solange Knowles was bright and electrifying in a peplum floor-length Rachel Roy dress. She went with some beautiful minimalistic silver jewelry and a diamond studded clutch. Surprisingly, her au naturale hair was absolutely perfect for this golden look.
 
 
Nina Dobrev wore an eye-catching and sparkling floor-length Donna Karan gown. The black and metallic pattern was gorgeous yet psychedelic at the same time, leaving it elegant and fun.
 
A2F Best Dressed: Karolina Kurkova in Rachel Zoe
 

Karolina Kurkova taking the fashion risk of the night in a sparkling rose gold Rachel Zoe gown. I love that the model went with a long sleeved gown and added a quite fabulous turban leaving no strand of hair behind. I believe this shows she can be very versatile when it comes to fashion as well as culturally diverse – which you don’t find in models very often these days.

A2F Best Dressed: Camilla Belle in Ralph Lauren Collection

Camilla Belle in a deep-v and sleek silk Ralph Lauren creation. This whole look screamed old Hollywood, which I absolute love on her. Her slicked back up-do and dark lip color made this whole look come together elegantly.
 

A2F Best Dressed: Dianna Agron in Marchesa

 
Dianna Agron also donned the old Hollywood look in a fabulous curled up-do and a jade colored draped Marchesa dress. The belt was a nice addition to add some shape to her body. This was a great change for Agron; she usually flops on the Red Carpet but I loved this innocent look on her.
 

A2F Best Dressed: Ashley Greene in Donna Karan

Ashley Greene let her free falling waves down in a gorgeous Donna Karan Atelier gown. It was form fitting, flowy, and very appropriate for this occasion. This shade of white complimented her color so well, accentuating her glowing skin and dark locks.
 

A2F Best Dressed: Emily Blunt in Calvin Klein

 
Emily Blunt was simple yet color-friendly in this coral hue of a Calvin Klein design. It screamed “business in the front, party in the back!” (which are some of the best dresses, anyway-) She rocked it just like Heidi Klum did here & how Emma Stone did it here.


A2F Best Dressed: Lea Michele in Diane von Furstenburg

 
Lea Michele wowed us all in a deep v Diane von Furstenburg dress. Utter brilliance and sophistication is what it screamed out to me. The makeup was beautiful, the mid-high slit, and the curl up-do looked extravagant on the Glee star.
