Look We Love: Met Gala 2014 Edition

2014's Charles James-themed Met Gala was a less-than-thrilling motif for the famed event.  Fresh off the heels of awards season, we've had our fill of the beautiful gowns that fit with this year's glamorous couture dress code.  Unsolicited opinions aside, here are some sartorial stand-outs from fashions biggest affair.

Lauren Santo Domingo always manages to be event-appropriate and fashion forward.  Kudos on this striking Oscar de la Renta selection. 

 Taylor Swift stole our hearts with her unabashedly girlish Oscar de la Renta confection.  This ballet pink gown photographs beautifully from every angle.

 

Who better to wear this exquisite dress straight off the Marchesa runway than legendary supermodel Karolina Kurkova? 

Anne Hathaway took the standout minimalist award in Calvin Klein Collection.  The color and tailoring of this two-piece ensemble are stunning.

 

Our best-dressed runner-up would have to go to supermodel/it-girl Cara Delevigne in Stella McCartney.  The styling is perfection and every detail is right on-trend and age-appropriate.

Beyonce takes the best-dressed title for the evening in her head-turning Givenchy look.  This ensemble suits her trademark style while embodying the spirit of the Met Gala - avant garde high fashion.

Who were your favorites from the evening?  What would you have worn?

Look We Love: 2014 Golden Globes Edition

Whew, it's been a busy week with starting our annual Winter Sale at the shop!  We are finally getting around to sharing our superlatives from the 2014 Golden Globes.  

We'll start with the ladies in black.

Kelly Osbourne looked sleek and sexy in this embroidered, body-conscious dress from Escada.

Allison Williams' Alexander McQueen dress is the perfect balance of classic and edgy with its clean silhouette and architectural shoulders.

Cate Blanchett's Armani Prive gown is stunning beyond words.  This is definitely our best-dressed pick from the event.  From the dress choice to the perfect coiffure and the subtle but fabulous accessories, this look embodies Hollywood glamour.

Emma Watson was the biggest risk-taker of the evening in this striking and spunky creation by Raf Simons.

The best-dress couple at the awards show, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves, looked perfectly tailored and red carpet-ready in Dolce & Gabbana.

Michelle Dockery's ensemble was the most underrated of the evening with the princess-style skirting and beautiful bead work on her Oscar de la Renta creation.  Unlike some other attendees who sported dated prom hair, Lady Mary's 'do was effortlessly elegant last Sunday evening.

Olivia Wilde is perhaps the best-dressed expectant mother in the history of red carpet press coverage.  She looks positively radiant in this Gucci sequin gown.

The best new-comer award goes to Lapita Nyong'o in this striking Ralph Lauren caped gown.  This woman is so exquisitely beautiful that we can't wait to see what she wears next.

Who were your favorites?

Have a beautiful day!
