Now I dont usually do fashion posts like this, but when I found out this year's theme for the
Met Ball was
Punk: Chaos to Couture I couldnt help but keep an eye out for the
gorgeousness that was sure to ensue!
For those who arent in the know, the annual
Met Ball (
Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City) is one of the most important red carpet affairs. A star-studded event, celebrities parade fashion's finest among carefully selected guests, hand-picked by
Vogue editor-in-chief
Anna Wintour herself.
This year saw a great selection of amazing punk-inspired dresses, as well as quite a few misses. As many a fashion website has also mentioned, quite a few guests seemed to have overlooked the memo of the theme of the night. All in all, it was a fashion frenzy and
Instagram was a great source of drool-worthy photos!
Here are my personal
top 10 favourite dresses of the night:
 |
Cara Delevingne's Burberry dress is definitely my fave - what a way to mix punk and glamour! |
 |
Taylor Swift in J. Mendel is definitely a close second - but I've been loving Taylor's style for a while now! |
 |
Have always thought Balmain's designs were gorgeous from seeing so many of them via Tumblr. This top (yes, she does the same top-as-dress thing that I do!) looks stunning on Kate Bosworth! |
 |
Anne Hathaway looks striking in this Valentino gown - this collab is definitely a winner! |
 |
Constance Jablonski's luxurious black & gold Wes Gordonin gown costs a reported $35,610 |
 |
The gold mohawk Philip Treacy headdress definitely stole the show for Sarah Jessica Parker! |
 |
Gisele Bundchen's off-shoulder black & metal Anthony Vaccarello dress is somewhat of a punky classic! |
 |
Loving the armour-inspired Rachel Roy dress worn by Stacy Keibler! |
 |
Model Chanel Iman also rocking a J. Mendel dress - not so punky but still a lovely sight! |
 |
Now I know this supposed to be about Miley Cyrus' Marc Jacobs dress, but the resemblance to Kate Moss' dress is to crazy to ignore! They're both rocking it though! |
I didnt really pay attention to the less-than-pretty dresses, but there were a few that jumped out at me (to my horror). I think we can all agree that
Kim Kardashian kinda topped the
Worst Dressed List - perhaps of all time, no exaggeration:
 |
Even Kanye doesnt look happy with her outfit choice! The Givenchy frock has been compared to curtains, a sofa and even Mrs Doubtfire! |
Considering the fact that Kim was banned from attending any Met Ball before this by Anna herself, I would have thought she'd try harder to impress! Ms. Wintour certainly isnt a fan as, rather than choosing a photo of Kanye solo for the Best Dressed list, Kim was cropped out of photos published on
Vogue.com, leaving nothing more than a florally hand to be seen on the photo!
 |
Ooh BURN! |
Other stars who just didnt impress:
 |
Surprisingly: Beyonce. Totally unflattering Givenchy (again!), from any angle. |
 |
Ashley Olson: What is that?! |
 |
Madonna - Just too much going on here, but too little bum covering! |
 |
A bit too try-hard there Jessica Biel! |
So which was your favourite dress? Or the dress you think should be burned? Did I leave anyone off either list that you prefer? Drop me a comment and let me know!

Kim K's dress is definitely the pain to the eye... Hahaha...
