The Costume Institute Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday Night brought out ’The Celebrated’ in Industry Land. Beyonce’ arrived on the Red Carpet enveloped in Givenchy haute couture. The Givenchy Beyonce’ wore was met with mixed reviews. BEBE REVIEW: No Bueno, on Beyonce’ even with my love for Givenchy. Beyonce’ is not giving me ‘peacock’ but she’s giving me ‘parrot’.
This gown is making all kinds of noise for the wrong reasons on such a Diva. I don’t even have my Parrot Bay ‘Freeze and Squeeze’ Pina Colada to sip on. Can we all forgive Beyonce’? Yes we can because after all if we roll with the costume theme of the evening, she was thinking along these lines I assume. Kudos for a killer body Post Baby Blue Ivy’s arrival. Beyonce choice wasn’t her best/elección de Beyonce no era lo mejor.
Rihanna was RAVISHING in the Croc Tom Ford gown. BEBE REVIEW: Rihanna was wearing the dress, not the dress wearing Rihanna/Rihanna llevaba el vestido, no llevaba el vestido de Rihanna. Rihanna could have pulled the look at 100% if not for the failed hair. Deets say she was delayed from arriving on time due to the nails that are so fierce but hey killer bod, in a killer dress, makes up for most that was less to be desired. Envy love on that body and dress.
Tom Brady and Supermodel Wife Giselle were STUNNING at The Met Gala. Whisper, Whisper, Talk , Talk, yes Tom Brady is rocking a ‘New Do’, love it, yes I do. Others are calling the haircut ‘curious’ oh behave. I smirk and toss my own huge wild mane back with a glass of…. H2O and a plate of my famous paella. I love men with shoulder length hair to long hair especially when they pull it off right. To me Tom Brady looks great either way. Now… let’s talk about Giselle.
Giselle in Givenchy, Sexy, Classy,Giselle is divine/ Giselle es divino. Giselle is wearing this dress as it should be for every woman. You wear the dress, not the other way around. If you look at many of the women attending the Gala, they are showing their faces. Love the pull back looks for this season.
Rosario Dawson, una hermosa mujer de color latina, worked this Calvin Klein stunner. The details on this gown is admired. Clean lines, the kind of gown where you ‘OWN THE LOOK’. Rosario the earring choice would have been great if the eyes were played up to match. IMO.
Had to give you another view…. Rihanna es el fumar caliente.
Katherine McPhee in Elie Saab is NOICE with it…
Emma Roberts is definitely on her ‘age appropriateness’ flair and I love that. Emma is wearing Escada. The color is lovely for her skintone.
Not everyone can pull off ‘Red’ but First Daughter Chelsea Clinton did in Oscar de la Renta. Classic designer, classic styled gown, risque n rogue red. Bravo!
Emma Stone in LAVIN, fun look, along with her vibe loved it
Gwyneth Paltrow in Prada works for her, she has the body to work this dress. The fresh face helps complete the look. Some fashionista’s and fashionmista’s did feel this look. Not sure why and I won’t try to do scenarios. However I will put out there if it had anything to do with age… build that bridge and get over it. If your body is doing the most, with CONFIDENCE even Helen Mirren could pull this off. I’m stretching it? No…. just blogging it… my thoughts. Oh laugh, it’s good for the soul. Gwyneth is rocking this dress.
Cery Mulligan wore Prada. I know this was on some WDL but I disagree. I find Cery charming in the dress. Nothing wrong with going a lil gaudy.
Up close this dress is so appealing than seeing it from the screen of your computer. Cameron Diaz serves up ‘Glamour’ in Stella McCartney. Free of any accessories the dress along with Diaz is giving much appeal.
Delightful was SPJ in Valentino. Valentino head to toe let me add. Not everyone can pull this off but it works for Sarah Jessica Parker. Love her hair and pink lip. Less on everything else is the fashion etiquette when the gown speaks volumes. No one to curvaceous or ‘plussy’ could pull this off without looking like a curtain. I am curvaceous so it is no bash to curvies or plus divas out in the world of fashion. Now let us carry on.
Amy Adams wore Giambatista Valli, classic Glamour love it
Hillary Swank in Michael Kors… Divine. How do you say Gorgeous? Yes I am so pulling from Dee Lite but yes Swank looks so great in Michael Kors. Chiffon is my ‘ideal’ for all things feminine, sexy, luxe. This is a beautiful dress and Hillary is wearing it well. Michael Kors I know is proud.

Kanye West in Givenchy… Magnificent, That pose is too ‘cold’ ♥
Gerard Butler wore Alexander McQueen, so debonair….
Pharrell Williams looks great, hair color fits, thank goodness not bright blonde. That would be so… oh well he didn’t do it so super cool.
Zac Posen for La La and Carmelo Anthony Rag n Bone. Azul se ve tan bien en La La Mujer de mi compañero de color Latina.
Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci ensembles they rocked well, Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz. Some say… Alicia could have pulled the look more together? Please… the tails if you had a full view were all that, I am loving the hair pulled back on so many ladies during the gala and Alicia Keys is one of them.
Emily Blunt wearing Calvin Klein, truly worked the Red Carpet
Chloe Sevigny in Miu Miu seem to be missing something. I abhor the shoes. Usually when Chloe takes a risk it really works. Everyone can’t be ON all the time in the reality of life. I will give her body a thumbs up on the dress not feeling ‘pinched or ‘pouted’.
Heidi Klum chose to wear Escada. Most times I am feeling the ‘bring it to I’ve brought it’ from Heidi but not this time around.
Stunning! Chanel Iman es encantadora. Las meras palabras no pueden expresar cómo se ve encantadora. Me encanta este vestido, que está haciendo que todo funcione.
Chanel Iman wore Tom Ford and Sashayed in with Tom Ford. They both looked as is they ‘leaped’ from the pages of a glossy, actually the cover of a glossy. That Look Chanel is giving the paparazzi… Ooh la la.
It’s Prada meets Tom Ford for the couple Jessical Biel and Justin Timberlake. Of course Biel could have been been more glamour or daring but it’s spring, let the spring fling have it’s way.
Tim Tebow actually is putting down some flavor here. This sincerely goes from my lips, to my keys on this keyboard to God’s ears. ( Pun Intended ) Tebow now a part of the New York Jet’s Football Team is wearing Ralph Lauren Purple Label Tuxedo. Noice.
Amare Stoudemire of the NY Knicks attended the Gala with Alexis his on again-off-again lady. Amare is wearing Calvin Klein.
Alexis is giving leg and tasteful ink, love it! Hooray too seeing ladies rocking the more feminine heels without the boxy chunked look. Alexis go girl!
I decided to wear my MARC JACOBS ‘Blush’ today because I am ‘blushing’ with the Devil May Care attitude to ‘unsnob myself’. You just have to roll with this in the name of fashion. The famous and infamous designer get’s an approval from QUEEN QUEER DEAR, which is my proud nickname from my ‘Lovely Lovies’ which is what I call them ‘in the life’. The buckles on Marc shoes are so ‘extra’ right now. I feel if Marc clicked his heels, it truly would be no place like home for him. The evening is about forward movement so you know… there it is ladies and gents.
Joan Smalls with designer Olivier Rousteing, wearing Balmain. I love me some Joan Smalls if you can tell from my the ads and pictorials over at my online magazine 1021Online, I love me some her. I do find this ‘look’ ill placed because of the Spring Season we are in but the idea could be to say ‘look this is what is upcoming for the line’. The detail is impeccable and Olivier looks well pulled together he’s giving lots of MODE and saying no fuss no muss.
Diane Von Furstenberg! Madam can be all kinds of ’Forgiving’ in this dress because in my ‘Rushing To The Next Gig’ the classic ‘wrap dresses’ have made me look so ‘put together’ in the midst of my chaos moments. I love the neck-wear, gloves, skin, hair. She is simply glowing…
Karolina Kurkova shines like literally shines in the Rachel Zoe dress. It is magnificently ‘In Your Face’, “Here I am’. Not everyone can take on this look but with the body and statuesque grace of Karolina she makes this whole look work. Look at the detail on the back of this dress. Wow. Now if we want to talk about some things Rachel Zoe is ‘too thin’ I won’t even post that pic. I wish I could give her some of my paella.
Vera Wang is ‘too thin’ as well IMO. Here she is with Paula Patton. Now many have given their thoughts on the dress and here is mine. You have to know the designer. She is wearing Vera… Wang. It is a beauty that quietly states itself.
Ginnifer Goodwin wears Monique Lhuillier. I love this on Ginnifer. It took me a moment to love her hair but I really do like it. I don’t like the clumpy shoes at all. Fresh face yes, the color really pops for the season and the detail is giving a romantic appeal. You get that from Lhuillier.
Here’s what’s really good. Rohan Marley son of Bob Marley on the Red Carpet with Isabeli Fontana. Okay…. Then. Isabeli gives us Pucci all in our faces. I love Pucci but I am not really feeling this design at all. Isabeli Fontana is stunning but not enough to wow me in this dress. Rohan is formally relaxed but he works the look very well.
Chris Benz and Julie Macklowe one word FUN!
Stefano Tonchi and Ahn Duong, so classic and elegant
Jessica Stam in Dior Couture looks cute. The dress looks more relaxed than stiff because the accessories are working with not against the design.
OMG I do not like this on Kate Bosworth, Prada or not. Nothing about this… Rather disappointed because Bosworth brings it. Grrr…
Marcus Samuelsson and Maya Haile… Maya is giving me Josephine Baker ‘so done not ‘undone’ aka dressed not under-dress ( Nude ). Samuelsson looks dapper. Is that a ‘hand ink’ I am seeing? Ooh la la… nicely placed. Yes I am being biased ( InkSISTER here Feathered Quill for the ♥ of the written word/ode to my Choctaw GR-Grandmother ). May I add her eye brows are NOICE, I just love the CONFIDENCE in this photo.
Milla Jovovichin Prada. She fills this design out nicely. Love the color of her nails and feet, the heels aren’t boxy, the hair, the clutch she OWNS this moment. La Lovovich has been around long enough in fashion to NOT do a Faux pas unless she is on one of those days where I don’t care. Monday night, she cared and I thank her for that wholeheartedly. Werk!
Marion Cotillard in Dior Couture is really speaking to me in a good way. It is not a WOW look but it is a look that you can second glance.
Azealia Banks Mizz 212 performed at The Met Gala. Banks is becoming a ‘Designer Darling’ as far as new up and coming artists. Despite being ‘ a lil too mouthy’ on twitter, which I feel she will calm it all down, she is making her way in the ‘right circles’. With an album to be released in much anticipation by many, here she is with designer Alexander Wang. Azealia Banks is wearing a Alexander Wang custom design. I would love to see her experiment with different looks for her hair. I am sure as she evolves so will her style.
Visit LOLITA’S BLISS ENTERTAINMENT REPORT as I give my vibe to Azealia Banks MUSIC TAKEOVER. Scroll through the recent shows and press play. Yes it is a moment where I didn’t take myself seriously but the music and reporting, yes always seriously- enough. ( smiles and eats more paella )
To get this ensemble Lady Anna Wintour is giving us, you must know your FASHION or just follow the fashion blogs who will give you detail. Lady Wintour is giving homage to The theme for the event is “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations.” Homage goes to Prada for giving their designer take on Elsa Schiaparelli’s ’lobster dress’. Anna wears it well and her signature ‘bob’ truly makes this look rather ‘Classic Glam’.
Anna Wintour and daughter Bee Shaffer in Erdem
Arizona Muse and Erdem Moralioglu/ Met Gala
Natalia Vodianova and Valentino Garavani. Valentino dress is lovely on a small frame with the dynamics of the gown details.
Janelle Monae looks great in her ensemble. So many people are saying they didn’t know she had such a great figure. IDK how they were looking at her, maybe the tux and hair ensembles just had them in a ‘fixed state of mind’. I think she looks great, truly she could be a great MUSE for a designer.
Rick Ross attended the Gala posing here with Chef Marcus Samuelsson
Solange Knowles was the Epitome of Elegance in the Rachel Roy custom made gown. From the hair, skin, accessories, Solange is GLOWING one of the TOP LIKES of my perusal various fashion looks at The Met Gala.
Nina Dobrev in Donna Karan is adorable. I have no flaws to talk about on how she is so put together. Take this gown and place it on another and I just don’t know. I am not even trying to envision it. Nina OWNS the moment in this gown because you don’t notice how ‘busy’ this could start to look. Maybe ‘busy’ on another but not on Nina Dobrev. Quite a ‘bold’ move to me when upon seeing her she wouldn’t be placed as ‘bold’… and there is the beauty of why this works… Expect the Unexpected. The MANTRA to me on how fashion should be for anyone whether you have a ‘signature style’ or not.
As I conclude, there is more to view. Go further inside to get complete IN THE KNOW MOMENTS on The Met Gala. Definitive ‘Style’ varies from one person to the next. Go with what makes you feel good, you have to wear it, others don’t. You know YOU, so OWN it. When you OWN IT, it is 100% Confidence and CONFIDENCE is signature. Now let me know what you think?
I’m about to go HACK THE PLANET with this song playing in my head after pressing play. Yes Bebe is about to watch HACKERS. Thanks for visiting THE DEJA. Stay eternally youthful, so that your fashion sense and overall sense doesn’t become cynical and bitter, be BRILLIANT.
you’ve been deja vu’d,
BEBE
