MET Ball Recap
Hello everyone, I know it's been forever since I posted but I just want to do a recap of my favorite designer dresses at the 2011 MET Ball. I love fashion and this year's red carpet showdown did not disappoint. So here are my choices for the best dressed at the Met Gala this year...

#1 Giselle Bundchen - She absolutely stunning in this juicy red gown designed by the notably famous and late-great Alexander McQueen. She knows what color suits her and she has these classy pearl earrings that are just to die for. I like how she's standing in it and her hair is looking awesome lately. She never ages, either. Stunning. A
#2 Diane Kruger - Diane sure knows how to pick a dress! She's wearing a Jason Wu gown with sequins covering her top and a slit down in her dress. This really shows off her shapely legs and her elegant walk. When it comes to styling her hair, she knows just the right amount of perm to put in it and her posture is just ever so classy. Well done, Diane! A-
#3 Emma Roberts - Hmm, well this gown is interesting. It's plain white and it doesn't have a lot of decoration on it. I like how Emma looks in it, though. She definitely has that classic "Grace Kelly" vibe going for her. Her hairstyle is nice and the way she's holding her clutch is cute. I like that she has minimal makeup and as not to distract us from her beautiful face. Sometimes simplicity goes a long way. B+
#4 Penelope Cruz - Oh, Penelope. Never change, please. She always manages to look her best no matter what event she is attending. Her Oscar de la Renta dress is truly remarkable and it suits her femininity so well. I like how she's styled her hair, pulling it back and curling it a little to give her some flare. This girl is so hip it's no wonder she's one of Spain's most beloved actresses. A
#5 Gwyneth Paltrow - Talk about keeping it simple. This lady knows what it means to dress for the occasion. She's wearing a beige Stella McCartney gown made full of sequins. Again, here's a time when simplicity works wonders. She's a woman of grace and it really shows in her fashion style. Keep on rocking, Gwen! B
#6 Liv Tyler - The lovely Liv is wearing a Givenchy dress (great designer, by the way) embroidered with feathers and ruffles. Without looking like a complete peacock, Liv is careful not to go too far in her sense of creativity. I can see this dress being worn to the Oscar Awards, to be honest. It has a soothing feel to it and the color is not too hard on the eyes. Good job, Liv! B
#7 Rosie Huntington Whitely - Oh...my...goodness. I am floored by how amazing she looks in this custom-made Burberry gown (I gotta remember this brand). She looked the best out of all the women at the event and STILL managed to pull off a slit in her dress. I love how she brushed her long fluffy to the side as to make her look more regal than all the rest. This woman is giving some of the top Hollywood fashion icons a run for their money. It looks like her modeling career did her some favors that night. A+
#8 Isabel Lucas - One name - Louis Vuitton. Isabel selected the perfect dress for her that night. From the color of the dress to the decoration on her forehead, she looked captivating to say the least. I love that she went the extra mile in her wardrobe and tied a red belt around her waist; it was totally a smart move. A
#9 Elettra Wiedemann - I don't even to know this girl but I just want to acknowledge her ravishing sense of style. From her up-do to the tail flowing down from the back of her dress, everything looked in sync. She looked ravishing and it almost seemed like the crowd was staring at her. She was the life of the party in my opinion. And the short dress cut at the front was a good way to showcase her gorgeously long legs. Whoever styled her should get an award. A
#10 Iman - And to top it all off, the best dressed of the night was certainly Ms. Iman. I don't she will ever, ever age. The woman's got the body of a 20-year old. I like how her dress sparkles and how shimmering her hair is. The whole ensemble was top notch. She is such a class act. A Goddess all the way. A+
