Hit and Miss of the Week: Final Met Gala Roundup

I'm really sorry if you've had enough of the Met Gala this week. I just didn't have enough time to say everything I wanted to earlier in the week, so I thought I'd dedicate the Hit & Miss post to the event.
Overall I thought it was a good Met Gala turnout (there were hardly any wardrobe slip-ups), but there was a definite lack of really breathtaking gowns on the red carpet. Yes, everyone looked great, but the majority didn't go all out for the event, which was a real shame. That's why we're lucky to have Coco Rocha in the world. She really went for it, and looked absolutely stunning in Zac Posen.

A Late Entry to the Best Dressed List

I somehow missed Emilie De Raven in Valentino when I was looking through the Met Gala pictures yesterday. I think she looks beautiful in this nude bow-detail dress - and I adore the shape of the skirt. She definitely deserves a place on the best dressed list.



Short dresses can somehow look a little off at the Met Gala (see Carey Mulligan) but it was working for Emilie.
It's strange that two of favourite looks from last night were both Valentino, as I'm not exactly a hardcore Valentino fan. But Emilie and Anne Hathaway both looked stunning on the red carpet last night. I think Anne might actually be my favourite this year.

What do you think of Emilie De Raven at the Met?

My Met Gala Prediction

As I'm sure you know, tonight is the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala. It's my favourite event of the year and my absolute favourite event to blog about ever. I live for it.
But as you know I'm currently busy doing work experience so I'm not sure tomorrow's Met post will be as meaty as it has been in previous years, but I will do my best.
One of the most exciting things about the Met Gala is guessing who will show up, and most importantly who they'll wear. Considering this years theme is the American Woman I imagine a lot of American designers will find their work on the red carpet tonight. Hopefully there will be a bit of vintage Halston (maybe on SJP?), some classic Calvin (hopefully on Ashley Olsen) and a bit of 90's Tom Ford.
Last year Marc Jaocbs was a popular designer, dressing Kate Moss, Leighton Meester, and Madonna, and I'm sure at least one guest will wear a piece of Vuitton tonight. I've got my money on these two dresses from the A/W 10 collection. They're dramatic, full length and definitely make a statement. I wasn't in love with this Vuitton collection, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see someone wear either of these dresses tonight.




You couldn't wear either look to a movie premiere, or even an awards show, they're too OTT. They're made for the Met Gala. Now I just have to wait and see if either dress is on the red carpet tonight...

Who are you hoping to see at the Met Gala tonight?
