2009 MET Ball Gala....

Fashion has always been something I have been very into, thanks to my mom and aunt, although I wouldnt necessarily make it a career or study it in school. I think its mostly because that kind of industry is dirty and cold. Its full of people who have their heads so far up their asses, that they like the smell of their own shit, its kind of like that SF south park episode. I wouldnt want my life to revolve around countless hours of working for something who treats me like shit and makes me feel badly about myself, meanwhile having no family or friends because you have no time, and mostly because people in the industry are so mean and cold that they simply dont care. Maybe its a stereotype, but ive seen it first hand. Im more into being happy with my career and being able to love myself, my body and my job. Its a neat thought, but in the end, its not for me. Needless to say, Im a girl...who loves fashion and clothes. I spend a good amount of time reading fashion magazines and looking stuff up online, so naturally I was very interested in seeing the MET gala pictures. I think its funny how half of these people who went have amazing style, but completely blew it on that day because they wanted to top everyone. I guess that goes to show that when you try too hard, you end up looking like a fool.

Here are my faves and my least faves (please remember, im not an expert...these are just opinions)


Kanye West and Amber Rose killed it! They look absolutely breathtaking! I have always liked them as a couple, they complement each other so well! Amber Rose's dress and skin color contrasts so nicely! Its one of the things ive always liked about being tan...reds and oranges look fabulous on you! Did I mention I envy her ability to rock the bald head?


Heidi Klum kind of disappointed me this time. I was a strong believer that she never fails at looking fashionable, but this Navy Blue J. Mendel dress is a bit tacky. I think its too voluminous, and although she IS pregnant, I dont know if it works. I do, however, love her up do! I think it elongates her neck and makes her look so fresh and naturally flawless (which she is).


Yikes! Way to ruin a beautiful Jason Wu gown by pairing it with a pair of hideous black heals and black tights. If she got rid of those two things, she would have looked amazing! Her hair is also looking a bit rough. Her pink clutch also blows.


ahhh, Blake Lively! Definitely one of my favorite fashionistas! She always looks so chic and yet so her own style, which I admire. I love her Versace dress, despite other critics. I love the slit, the sleeve, the hair, the make up and the shoes. That color especially compliments her very well!


oh jesus, can anyone ever criticize this woman? Look at her! She may be the only one who can rock that Marc Jacobs Asymmetrical frock. Never fails. Although, she should probably stop tanning?


two of my favorite ladies are present in this picture, and both look amazing! Kate Bosthworth is another celebrity I admire. She always looks so classy yet edgy and different. Red lips look good on very very few people, but she rocks it! Liv Tyler, look amazing!! She is such a classy lady, so chic and so flawless. Her Stella McCartney (whom also dressed Kate) is gorgeous. Love the detailing and I love how it looks against her pale skin. Her hair looks amazing as well as her make-up. I love love loooove it. As for the other two, Im just not feeling it. Especially that lacy get up. I mean honestly...being a very successful fashion designer (and one of my faves to follow) you should know how to not wear hideous outfits.


This is one of my top 2 favorites of the night! Im a huge fan of natural, classy beauty. Marion Cotillard looks breathtaking. Her pale pink Dior gown looks very chic with her curls and natural make-up. I admire natural beauty more than any else when it comes to the sort, mostly because its the true meaning of beautiful, anyone can cake makeup on and look good, very few can look this good otherwise. Her look appeals to me so much more! Hands down one of my top favorites.


I cant decide whether I like this or not. One thing I can say though is that I admire the fact that she kept her hair and make-up simple since she already has A LOT going on. Still very chic in my opinion, but when is she not?


One of the things you learn being a small framed girl is that its never ok to make yourself look smaller, which is something MK does ALL THE TIME! its really no wonder people call her a troll...she makes herlsef look stumpy and midget-like. Its a combo of the unnecessary layering and long hair.


Bar Refaeli rocked this look! Very simple yet very bold. Love it.


Kate Moss is one of my biggest fashion icons! I love that woman to death and I dont care what she has done in the past, her style is amazing. However, she let me down big time. This turban and gold gown are not doing it for me. Her make-up looks horrid as well, and to be honest she doesnt even look like herself. Big let down! However, Marc Jacobs looks dashing. I do love Kates Shoes!


ahh yes, A fashion icon of mine that did not let me down! Rachel Bilson looked amazing! The color and cut of her dress is so fierce. This is how short people should do it. Her shoes tie evertything together and makes it her own. Typical Rachel actually, she is known to be very simple with one splash of funk. Love it!


Eva Mendes, always a favorite of mine. Looking very simple yet very Chic in a Calvin Klein gown. Minimal make-up and subtle jewelry.


To be honest, I love this look. Rhianna is known to rock the most obscure outfits and still look extremely chic and gorgeous. I admire any woman who can make mens wear look extremely feminine and she does it all the time. The cropped pants with the shoes are perfect. Hair and make-up look fierce as well. I think she could have lost the gloves though....


No, just no!


eek. Katy Perry never stuns me with her attires. She looks awful. Everything about her look is so god damn awful. Yuck.


Beautiful! Claire Danes never fails to look absolutely gorgeous and classy.


I think this is super fun and flirty. I love her hair and the dress are edgy! I dont particularly like the sleeve though...or the blue bag.


Love this! I looove her wrap around pale pink dress, and I mostly love the black accents. Her shoes are super cute!


You all know my love for Anne Hathaway. She totally rocked it with her Marc Jacobs frock and 80s retro hair.


Yikes, for someone who also always looks flawless, Giselle sure did bomb this one! Nothing about this works.


I will give props to he usually very bland Jessica Biel for her dress and hair/MU...Although im not a HUGE fan of her dress, I think it works, and the color looks good on her. Her hair is very nice and classy along with her shoes! what is UP with JTs glasses? lets not turn into Kanye, Jt.


hands down my favorite look of the night! Iman looks FLAWLESS! The kind of flawless I wish I could be. Her dress falls in all the right places. The cream color of her dress looks amazing gorgeous against her dark skin! Her hair is very classy and beautiful and her jewerly as well. Ahhh she looks amazing for her age!!! I particularly love the top part of her dress. For someone small chested (like myself) its important to have ruffles and volume in that area of your body, it makes everything look proportionate and it makes your body look slim and perfect! Perfect perfect perfect!


Oh Molly Simms....no no noooo, again..trying wayyyy too hard.


ash much as I adore Milla Jovovich, I do not adore this dress. The color is no flattering to her skin color and the detailing is a tad bit silly.


again with the making yourself look smaller attires. Ugh.....at least Ashley keeps it classy without the layers and the cute bob and make-up. She was always the better twin.


yikes....


double yikes....and probably worst dressed, along with Madonna!

Thats all! Now its your turn! Who here follows fashion/is interested in it at all? Who are your favorite designers, fashion icons, trends, looks etc etc....I would love to hear!
