Met Ball 2013

So here it is, the obligatory Met Ball post. Last night many, myself included, were glued to their screens watching the spectacle that is the annual Metropolitan Costume Institute Gala unfold. The theme was Punk: Chaos to Couture, and as always there were some hits, some misses, but not nearly enough punk for my liking. 

First and foremost we have Debbie Harry in Tommy Hilfiger 

Anna Wintour in Chanel Haute Couture, who steered clear of the whole theme but it is her event and all

I love love loved SJP in a Giles gown, a Phillip Treacy mow-hawk, and thigh-high tartan Louboutin boots

Carine Roitfeld looking divine in Givenchy

Co-chairs Rooney Mara and Riccardo Tisci, both in Givenchy

Daisy Bevan in Roksanda Ilincic - perfection

Allison Williams in Altuzarra 

Lily Cole and arguably the queen of punk fashion Vivienne Westwood, both in Vivienne Westwood

Chloe Sevigny in Proenza Schouler, uber chic turban

Cara Delevingne rocking studs in Burberry 

As was Sienna Miller, also in Burberry

Kate Bosworth looking haaawwwt in Balmain

Leelee Sobieski in Dior Haute Couture 

Alexa Chung in Erdem

As was Lena Dunham, with the man himself Erdem Moralioglu

Although minimalistic and only a hint of punk I did like Cameron Diaz in Stella McCartney, I'm a sucker for a cape

Jennifer Lawrence looked divine in Dior Haute Couture (I am a massive lover of Raf Simons), not punk in the slightest but beautiful none the less

Finally we have Diane Kruger in Chanel Haute Couture, no list of mine is ever complete without her, I just wish she had done more

While there were many great looks of the night, both punk and not so much, we just have to mention Kim Kardashian who finally got an invite. Shame she was a complete disaster in Givenchy (what's with the gloves??), but then again are we to expect anything else from Kim K?
