Punk Rock Rules at the NY Met Gala

The New York annual Mat Gala bought us PunK Rock theme this year. Some took the theme a little over the top while others dawned beautiful gowns and still hinted at and embodied the image with touches of punk like accessories including studs, cuffs, and dipped hair ends. While the theme was bold and fun some stars did not get the memo and arrived to the gala in typical Hollywood red carpet attire. Many of the actresses and singers arrived along side there designers instantly telling viewers who they were wearing with out being asked. Katy Perry arrived in a metallic dress on the arms of the Italian duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The california girl also wore a princess grown and the punk chic style was evident.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual costume Institute Gala in New York was put together by the one and only editor and chief of Vogue Anna Wintour. The big event was jam packed with A listers and inside was rumored to be decorated all punk rock fitting for the theme. Anna Wintour let Kim Kardashian onto her red carpet this year but unfortunately the reality TV star came under tough scrutiny for her Ricardo Tisci dress which was compared to curtains several times for its traditional looking print. Kim wore gloves and matching shoes which consequently led to a floral pattern overload. Kanye preformed after dinner and shouted out to his baby mama she was beautiful. The crowd then applauded and screamed for the pregnant and usually stylish star.

Beyonce swanned up the red carpet in a Kenzo Dress worn with potentially questionable matching sky high boots that only she could pull off. Some how the entire ensemble gloves included looked fabulous teamed with her golden locks and train she was the star of the night as always. The jet setting star who is in the middle of touring took a night off for the much anticipated event.

Miley Cyrus was also widely criticized for her choice. The 20 year old singer wore a Marc Jacobs creation rumored to have been worn by Kate Moss years ago. The singer opted for spiking her short peroxide  hair a look evidently that didn’t sit well. I think that if Miley had worn the same dress with her prior brown tresses she would not have been under scrutiny for her choice at all but most people had a serious issue with her dramatically different hair. She was not the only star to dawn a peroxide do as Anne Hathaway arrived with a new peroxide pixie look also that she wore quite well in Valentino .

Rooney Mara was my personal favorite of the night in Givenchy also accompanied by the creative director Riccardo Tisci. The white romantic lace gown with a plunge neck was undoubtedly for me the winner of the night. She wore a very dark lip with her black hair that made the white illuminate as well as her. Nicole Richie did cream TopShop and a dark lip with white grey hair which also had a gothic theme to it.

Anna Wintour did not abide by the dress code and arrived in floor length Channel because she can and ho would question that. Sarah Jessica Parker wore a eccentric Philp Tracey creation resembling a mohican. The Sex and the City super star wore a Giles Deacon gown and LV boots but had a minor flash scenario.

All the Super Models represented with Miranda Kerr in revealing cut out a Micheal Kors creation finished with a spiked gold Louboutin clutch. Rosie Huntington Whitley was enchanting in Gucci and Cara Delevigne in Burberry who posed with fellow Brit Sienna Miller also in Burberry. Both wore low V plunges with spikes finishing.

Tiger Woods bought his new girlfriend ski champion Lindsey Vonn to the event and Amber Heard and Johnny Depp are rumored to be an item. Blake Lively  showed up in Gucci gown that was duck blue and bled into black sweeping the floor giving the impression of a feathered look the fashion icon did not arrive sadly with hubby Ryan Reynolds. Lastly Madonna made a serious statement the material girl barred all in chains a black wig and provocative baring tights. The material girl went above and beyond in a studied plaid Givenchy piece and not much else.

The film the "Bling Ring" is out this June

The film the “Bling Ring” is out this June

Emma Watson is playing Alexis Neiers in the much anticipated Summer film that depicts a story of the Beverly Hills teens based on true events. The “Bling Ring” as they have been so infamously labeled robbed homes of celebrities on several occasions. In 2009 there is estimated robbery for the year was said to be around $3 million in belongings as well as ca$h. Famous heiress Paris Hilton was a main target as well as Lindsey Lohan, Rachel Bilson and Hills reality star Audrina Partridge. Footage shows a man and woman grabbing everything in sight wearing hats and gloves in Partriges released tapes. The story unfolded before the affluent teens eyes and soon enough video footage and prints all pointed at the over exposed teens. It seemed like all they wanted was fame, money and ultimately to be a part of the Hollywood scene as they were rich and already partying way beyond there means and age. Alexis Neiers had a reality show on E where she attempted to be seen as a troubled good girl gone wrong but consequently looked like a total brat. She assisted in robbing Orlando Blooms house which she was caught fleeing the scene with stolen possessions. She is now facing three years probation and has served 30 days in prison. The film is set to come out this June. Paris Hilton plays herself in the film. These notorious events at the hands of a couple of high school teens has made history. The Bling Ring slowly became identified by police as surveillance footage revealed them one by one as it built up from numerous celeb CCTV cameras.That was the first break but the culprits were over heard several times bragging loudly about the high valued goods they had stolen in there private school and it didn’t take long for tip offs to ensue. Nick Prugo one of the main ring leaders has been charged with 7 accounts of burglary. All of the upper class teens equally searched for acceptance in the LA high school were popularity was everything. Once they got a a taste they just couldn’t stop! Whenever Rachel Lee wanted a new outfit or ran out of money for drugs they would rob or as she liked to call it “go shopping”. It all became an addiction of stealing , living on the edge and adrenaline. Cant wait to see the film

You would think all the reports, blogs and talk about Coachella music festival in California would be all about the music? No, it would seem music is second and there is more emphasize on the three day annual festivals fashion goers mainly while music is taking the back seat. At the festival Women used there opportunities to embody there inner hippies and channel looks from the 60′s 70′s 80′s and 90′s even mixing the genres up. Dungarees seemed to have made a come back in denim, white and black teamed with a little crop top underneath. The California sun provided the perfect opportunity for the coachellets to demonstrate chic fashion but also offer the not so privileged goers an inside view of trends that will dominate this summer. Denim shorts were a staple as always, bohemian jewelry was to be seen in every corner which the hipster extravaganza and paradise that Coachella is.

It would seem the majority of festival girls were bonkers for boho. The fringed bag was back with a vengeance while more grunge style victims wore there torn up denim. The girly and hippy girls were seen in floral headbands probably the latest and most trending festival accessory currently. Vanessa Hudgens was seen looking goddess like in white with deep red rose colored band. Katy Perry looked the part in D&G crop top and swing skirt, head to toe teamed with perfect shades which made a nice change from all the reappearing shorts.

Mixed prints made there way onto the Coachella runway as did maxi skirts with a bohemian twist. Clash pints and over accessorizing went down a treat for the sunny weather. Quirky sunglasses have never been so versatile to date as now potentially another ideal way to spruce any outfit up. Wide leg hippy flare trousers were a surprise return but perfect and appropriate wore by Vanessa Hudgens on another day. Vanessa Hudgens I think could win a trophy for the perfect style diary for the event. Take style inspiration from the stars in the photos like, Rita, Alesandro, Vanessa and many more. There is no excuse now for not knowing whats on trend for festivals with the wide variety of styles that Coachella has brought us.
