Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala Red Carpet: Stella McCartney for All!
Stella Crazy....
Not sure why Designer Stella McCartney was such a big presence on Monday Night's Met Gala Red Carpet---Was her company a co-Sponsor? Is there a British Connection? Or most likely, it is because both Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney are part of the PPR Group. Who knows...but there were plenty of A-Listers wearing Stella McCartney at the "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty" Metropolitan Museum Gala this past Monday in NYC. The gowns/dresses went from 70's Disco, all-over sequined red carpet stunners to "McQueen-esque" high-low gowns. I'm not so sure what Stella McCartney's House stands for in terms of gowns, but most were very pretty....
Let's take a look:
Stella McCartney: Love the high-low silhouette, but the odd shaping and rippling at the seams, well, makes me wonder? Was it intentional? It's a bit odd. On an actress, we probably would rip it. Your thoughts?
Naomi Watts: Sooooo very Figure Skating Costume!!! Which may not be a good thing (even though I love me some Figure Skating!). The Ombre effect of the crystals is beautiful. I'm just getting a bit bored with the entire blush/nude effect on gowns. And why does she look like Mischa Barton? Just asking....
Maggie Gyllenhaal: FAB. No More. Love it. The sky-blue all-over sequin gown fits beautifully. She's gone form "Geek to Chic" in one $30,000 gown!!!!
Kate Hudson: She's pregnant and wearing a custom-made Stella McCartney gown. Because she can. Enough said. She looks radiant and pretty. I'm not so sure about the center part hair crystal detail but other than that: Very Nice Miss Kate.
Rashida Jones: Love the color and love its simplicity. Also, that "Hair Feather Wisp" is so chic Miss Rashida! Perfect length as well.
Hailee Steinfeld: Academy Award-nominated "True Grit" Actress wore a gold/nude organza applique high-low gown with mini cap sleeves. I actually really like this on her. I know many people have a extreme (bad) reaction to high-low dresses, but I think that this dress captures the youthful and fun quality of Hailee (she is only 14!), while still being elegant and sophisticated enough for the event. Also, love the shoes!
Eva Mendes: One Shoulder Disco. Look at Miss Eva. She is looking for Rudolf Nureyev and where the illegal substances are. This "Fortuny Pleated" one-shoulder purple gown with a blouson and Dolman sleeve is this side of "Go Girl!". The high-arched eyebrow look and pose, well, is better than the gown to be sure! Go Miss Mendes. The Gays approve: You WORK.
Nick Verreos: New Episode of Style Network's "Style Star": Drew Barrymore and Kate Hudson!
Hollywood Royalty Style Stars...
Kate Hudson and Drew Barrymore: Style Stars--Hollywood RoyaltyOver the weekend, a brand new episode of this season's "Style Star" TV show aired on the Style Network. This episode's theme: Hollywood Royalty. And it was all about actresses Drew Barrymore and Kate Hudson.
Naturally, I was asked to be one of the "Style Commentators"--along with my good friend Marcellas Reynolds, hair guru Ken Paves, and LA Times Image Section style writer and editor, Melissa Magsaysay--among others.
Nick Verreos on Style Network's "Style Star" TV ShowI absolutely LOVE me some Drew and Kate. Not just because they ARE Hollywood Royalty...but the fact that they are FEARLESS when it comes to fashion! The episode begins with a Style History of our lovely Miss Drew--yes, Drew Barrymore and it goes from her putting daisies in her hair to "OMG! She's Giving COUTURE!"
Of course, we discuss her "Valley of The Dolls" moment at "HBO's Grey Gardens" premiere...the bouffant hair, the halter gown with attached embroidered sequined neck piece: HOT!
To her 2010 Golden Globes Haute Couture Moment, wearing that Atelier Versace champagne-colored silk gown with the "sea urchin" sequined shoulder and high-hip detail. remember, it was raining and someone forgot to put a TARP at the Hilton Red Carpet (Notice the wet hem!). Need I remind you, that gown would probably retail at about $80,000. Yes, FOUR zeros kids.And now, onto Kate Hudson:
Of course, there is some discussion on "Style Star" regarding her Custom Chloe gown by then-designer Stella McCartney at the 2001 Academy Awards. Many style bloggers consider this one of the "All-Time Worst" of the Academy Awards Red Carpet. I don't think the gown was half-bad. The 80's "Kindness Perm" hair style was what did it for me. However...
Goldie's talented--and stylish--daughter, came back, in 2003 at the 75Th Annual Academy Awards in a gorgeous nude Atelier Versace gown that well, pretty much put her in the "Hall of Fame" of "Best Dressed at the Oscars".
