Met Gala 2013 MY Best Dressed List

I'm sure everyone has seen these Met Gala photos all over the blogosphere, but I had to post my favorite looks since they practically had me slack-jawed for a good thirty minutes at work. 

Like Mother Like Daughter

Even if these photos weren’t a projection of my own personal dream of growing up with a mother, or having a daughter of my own someday, I would still find this editorial to be the most charmingly adorable mother/daughter photo shoot that I have ever seen! Oh, and what a beautiful pair they are!

The cool chick.

Giambattista Valli Spring 2013 Couture

As an iconic couturier, Valli always approaches his collections with Valor, as if to say "I can do as I please, for I am Giambattista." It is true, he can do as he pleases, and he so rarely makes a misstep. These dresses were dramatic, eccentric, playful, and stunning in a very classic way. In most cases, a collection is either/or, but rarely both. The A-line dresses made for a very classic, and feminine silhouette, while the short under skirts that were paired with sheer overlays made for a fresh and modern twist. The chunky gold necklaces and crowns added a wonderful theatrical feel to the gowns. One of my favorite looks was the mesh cut-out dress that he so wisely paired with matching cut-out leggings. It is a strange idea on paper, but on the runway it was a perfect showcase of his creative ingenuity!
