Recently, celebrities converged upon New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art for its Costume Institute Gala and the fashions were pieces of art themselves.
One of my absolute favorite looks of the evening was Beyonce in an elegant pale pink silk organza Giorgio Armani Prive gown. Simple, yet elegant. Her look was complimented with gorgeous emerald drop earrings by Lorraine Schwartz.
I also loved new mommy Jennifer Lopez's look. Lopez wore an teal Alberta Feretti gown and the way that the gown fit her, you could not even tell that she recently gave birth to twins nearly three months ago.
I also liked newly engaged star Scarlett Johansson's look. She was ballerina chic in a Dolce and Gabbana cream and ivory tulle tea-length gown.
Supermodel Gisele Bundchen took my breath away in a daring and sexy pale pink cutout Versace gown. That dress seemed like it was made specifically for her.
I also thought that actress/singer Hilary Duff looked splendid. She wore an exquisite Elie Saab gown accented by lovely Loraine Schwartz jewels.
Other honorable mentions go to actress Eva Longoria Parker, who wore a purple Marchesa gown. She seems to really like that designer.
I also loved Eva Mendes, who wore a dreamy aquamarine Calvin Klein dress.
Unfortunately, there always has to be one fashion disaster. Now, the theme of the Costume Institute Gala was "Superheroes," and it was obvious that Holmes was going for a Wonder Woman kind of look.
The iridescent red Armani gown she wore was tragic enough, but then the patent blue shoes she wore with it just sealed her fate in fashion disaster history for me. Better luck next time!
