Met Gala 2022 Best Looks
So last night saw the most glamorous night on the fashion calendar make a return, and, true to form, it seemed like a hell of a lot of the guests had absolutely no understanding (or care) for the theme. I am talking of course, about the Met Gala, and with this year’s theme being the relatively easy ‘Gilded Glamour’ alluding to the era of 1870 – 1890 that is often referred to as the gilded age, you really could’ve expected the participants to at least nod to the theme. But no, we got lots of skin and bead dresses, barely there outfits, head shaking monstrosities, and Kim Kardashian proving that…

Met Gala 2018 – Heavenly Bodies – Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.
By far my favourite fashion night of the year is the Met Gala. Each year it takes a theme that is either embraced or ignored by the glitterati of the fashion and film world which makes for memorable viewing for us mere mortals. This year the Gala also had God on its side with the theme which was Heavenly Bodies – Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. The exhibition has pieces from the Vatican collection which have not been seen by the public, and with a myriad of religious art, and artefacts as inspiration, it has to be said that some of the looks on display were incredible. Some however, were…

Met Gala 2017 – The Best Looks
The 2017 Met Gala was always going to be a tough one in terms of outfits. The theme , which often seems to cause problems or is ignored altogether, was Rei Kawakubo, founder of Commes Des Garcons and Dover Street Market, an avant garde fashion legend to say the least. Many of Rei’s designs could be classed as works of art rather than wearable fashion, and this meant that this year’s celebration would either follow the theme and (if we are being honest) look a like bit crazy and ridiculous, or would ignore it completely (like the Victoria’s Secret models and the Jenner girls do every year) and then risk…

2016 Met Gala – The best dresses
My favourite fashion event of the year is always the Met Gala, every single fashion icon and model worth their salt turn out in a string of unforgettable looks, which set Twitter and the fashion magazines and websites alight. Every year there is a theme that corresponds to the Metropolitan Museum’s exhibition, this year the theme was ‘Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology.’ Unfortunately, this theme led to some of the worst dresses and looks I have ever seen at a Met Gala – when someone on Twitter asked the theme I said ‘Beautiful people – bad dresses’ and got a lot of agreement. The principal problem…

Met Gala 2015 – My fave looks
The Met Gala 2015 will go down as one of the most memorable in recent history. The theme this year was ‘China: Through the looking glass; and this gave way to a host of plays on this theme. Unfortunately, for many fashionista’s this meant some sort of poppy display and very questionable eye make-up (I’m talking to you Kris Jenner, and frankly still shuddering at the thought nearly 24hours on.) There was also a lot of flesh on display, as Cher’s fright frocks of the 1980s were resurrected on Beyonce, JLo and Kim Kardashian – all of whom should frankly sack the stylist and put some clothes on. Fortunately, there…
