Met Gala 2016 was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday (May 2) in New York City. This year's red carpet theme was Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology.
Some ladies really made an effort while others looked just 'red carpet normal'. Here are my favorites plus some solid looks. And don't worry. Here you won't see Beyoncé and Kardashian family. Nothing agains them but they were everywhere already + I didn't find them the best dressed.
My favorite was Rachel McAdams in a shimmering Valentino gown with H Stern jewels. Just amazing. I love this dress, the lišs, the hair cut. Just waw!
I also love Nicole Kidman in a stunning in head-to-toe Alexander McQueen with vintage Fred Leighton jewels. Galactic, elegant and so beautiful.
Claire Danes looked like Cinderella glow-in-the-dark, fiber optic-woven gown by Zac Posen and Eva Fehren jewelry. I can't help it. This glowing in the dark adds something so dreamy. Pretty!
Meanwhile Demi Lovato opted for fierce look, a custom Moschino by Jeremy Scott dress, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, an Edie Parker clutch, and Norman Silverman jewelry. Big like!
There was a lot of white gowns but at first Kate Hudson stood out to me. She wore a beautiful Versace dress.
Emma Stone in a Prada gown and clutch, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, and Christian Louboutin shoes. Juno Temple in shimmering Erdem dress and Alex Morgan in beautiful one long sleeve gown. I would love Emma without the middle belt part, while Juno and Alex are looking very good.
Models in white. First Doutzen Kroes in Balmain dress. Karlie Kloss headed to the event in a custom crepe Brandon Maxwell coat, then rocked a custom gown by the designer along with Giuseppe Zanotti strappy shoes and a Repossi staple earring in pink gold fully set with diamonds. She’s also wearing KWIAT stud earrings. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore a custom ivory Ralph Lauren Collection gown with a Ralph Lauren Collection clutch and sandals, and Ralph Lauren Vintage Collection platinum and diamond wing earrings.
More ladies in white. Mindy Kaling in a Tory Burch strapless dress, Gugu Mbatha-Raw in a Gabriela Hearst Fall 2016 Cora gown in ivory with morse code beading and custom heels in suede blue. Jennifer Hudson in a H&M gown, Paul Andrew shoes, Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Judith Leiber clutch. Danai Gurira opted for a Giambattista Valli dress with Fernando Jorge and Monique Péan jewels.
Black and white trio: Alana Danielle and Este Haim. Emma Watson wore a custom Calvin Klein Collection black taffeta twill off-the-shoulder top and detachable train, ecru cotton bustier with lace cups and black satin trouser with Paige Novick jewelry.
How cute are these two pregnant gals! Emily Blunt wore a custom blue beaded Michael Kors gown, Forevermark diamonds, Michael Kors shoes and Tyler Alexandra clutch. Olivia Wilde in a custom Michael Kors gown, Jennifer Fischer jewels and Brian Atwood shoes. Allison Williams in a Peter Pilotto dress, an Edie Parker clutch, Brian Atwood shoes and Finn jewelry. They all look nice but not themed enough if you ask me.
Kerry Washington kept her hand on her tiny baby bump in a Marc Jacobs dress and gloves, Gianvito Rossi shoes, a Judith Leiber bag, and Fred Leighton earrings. Dakota Fanning in a Nina Ricci gown in grey velvet and embroidered lace, along with a Nina Ricci bag and shoes and Fred Leighton jewelry. Katie Holmes wore a blue gown made by her close friend Zac Posen. Chloe Grace Moretz in Coach custom-made deep V neck metallic and black gown.
Naomie Harris in a Burberry dress and clutch, Christian Louboutin shoes and Messika jewlery. Jessica Chastain in a stunning voluminous Prada gown, Brian Atwood shoes and Piaget jewelry for the annual Costume Institute Gala Benefit. Jessica donned a peacock blue silk gabardine gown with a structured bodice and voluminous skirt enriched with 18th century inspired black crystal embroidery in floral and latticework motifs.I kind of like them both but at the same time feel like it's something missing.
Naomi Watts in a shimmering Burberry gown, shoes and coat, Fred Leighton jewelry and a Rauwolf bag. Poppy Delevingne wore Marchesa dress, Anna Ewers in a BOSS dress and Liu Wen in an Iris van Herpen dress, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes and clutch, and Tiffany & Co. jewelry.
Kate Upton revealed that she is engaged to her man, MLB player Justin Verlander so the ring was getting more attention than the dress. Karolina Kurkova wore a gown that was created in a collaboration between Marchesa and IBM Watson, which included 150 hand-placed LED lights. Alessandra Ambrosio opted for Balmain gown, Giuseppe shoes, Fred Leighton rings, Jennifer Fisher earrings and carrying a Judith Leiber purse.
Cindy Crawford also in Balmain gown, Lily Aldridge in a Michael Kors dress and Lara Stone in a Tom Ford gown.
Joan Smalls in a Balmain dress, Naomi Campbell in Cavalli Couture, Jourdan Dunn also in Balmain dress and Taylor Hill in a black gown.
I think this three ladies really put some effort in their outfits. Sofia Sanchez de Betak, Kate Bosworth in head-to-toe Dolce&Gabbana and Zoey Deutch also in Dolce & Gabbana gown.
For the end, two ladies who were very in sync with the theme. Michelle Monaghan in a Rosie Assoulin dress, custom Roxanne Assoulin x La Ligne earrings, an Edie Parker x La Ligne clutch and Brian Atwood shoes. Thalia Mottola in a metallic, robot inspired arm sleeve Tommy Hilfiger gown. A bit too much?
What were your favorites?
Can't miss the wonderful styling and interior at this place. As I walked upstairs, my eyes wandered about the brick wall interior and the overall décor. This is by far one of the best venue Houston TX to organize event.
