Having previewed "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art early this afternoon, it’s now crystal clear why Anna Wintour issued the dress code edict that all men wear white tie and tails to tonight’s Met Gala.
Abbey Lee Kershaw, long-time advocate for both nudity and DIY, is now lending her body to a more commendable cause. On Monday night, the Aussie model caused a stir at a Met Gala after party by indulging in a very literal interpretation of the evening’s "punk" theme, lifting her sheer Rag & Bone dress to […]
Image via Getty If the rumors are true, Kanye West had initially promised to boycott the Met Gala if organizers didn't also extend a ticket to his pregnant girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, who was blocked from attending the swanky New York City event last year on the grounds of her low-rent reputation. If I were pregnant […]
The fashion industry. Honestly, I'm losing my mind trying to pretend this year's Costume Institute punk exhibit ("PUNK: Chaos to Couture") isn't really happening. I realize that I haven't yet seen the show and also that curator Andrew Bolton was aware of the complexities inherent to putting together a museum exhibition which essentially celebrates the way […]
Maybe! But disclaimer: this is a very very thin rumor. Based pretty much entirely on a one-sentence post in the TFS Fall 2012 Ad Campaign thread — "Chloe Sevigny is the new face of F/W 2012 Miu Miu," says Lackuiew, citing an "industry source" — and a little bit of speculation. The style icon has […]
Following on the heels of Vogue.com's successful livestream of the Met Gala earlier this month, another Conde Nast web property, Style.com, is gearing up to broadcast this year's CFDA Awards. WWD reports that Style.com staffers will be documenting the June 4 ceremony via social media as it happens, but the broadcast itself won't be available […]
The top of The Standard was packed last night as Bacardi celebrated the launch of its new luxury cognac, D'USSE. I stood near the back of the room so absorbed in lobster rolls and conversation that I somehow missed the arrival of the event's most anticipated guest, Jay-Z. When I wandered through the throng in […]
We’ve all been ogling looks from the Met Gala the other night, but here’s one that you probably haven’t seen. It certainly isn’t making it onto most of the best dressed lists. Lauren Santo Domingo took a fashion risk in a look designed by Oscar de la Renta the other night, and forum members are […]
I think it's a travesty that no one's including Marc Jacobs on any of the Met Gala best dressed lists. As he said during the livestream, "I just didn’t want to wear a tuxedo and be boring. I think Miuccia Prada is such a celebration of the unconventional and so it felt like, appropriate." Well, […]
Kirsten Dunst’s Rodarte-designed look at last night’s 'Schiaparelli And Prada: Impossible Conversations' Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was somewhat controversial and polarizing in the Fashion Spot forums. “Kirsten is at the Met Gala dressed like Santa Claus!” casaanova warned before the photos rolled in. “I don't like it,” wild roses posted. […]
Beauty trends from this year's festivities include bold, vampy lips, bronze smoky eyes, peach tones, top knots, and smooth Veronica Lake waves. Here are a few of our favorite looks from the night.
One of the weirdest rumors to originate in this year's build up to the Met Gala concerns Coco Rocha and Miuccia Prada. It's been pretty well-established that the Italian fashion designer and exhibit honoree has had a complex relationship to the show: on one hand, she's given the press some pretty testy comments about the […]
