Parties and red carpet events seem a million miles a way from my world of breast feeding and nappy changing... but there is one party I would kill to go to and that would be the Met Costume Institute Gala event.
The annual Gala Benefit took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York last Monday. It was hosted by Oprah Winfrey, Patrick Robinson of the Gap, and Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue. The theme was American Women: Fashioning A National Identity, based, as ever, on a Costume Institute exhibition by the same name.
It is a party where the who`s who are seen embracing fashion. Key trends are identified and I highlighted below some of my favorite looks to inspire, even though it will be a while till I am ready to hit the red carpet:)
Shape Trends:
- Variations on a Roman theme - elegant empresses draped in flowing layers.
- Fairytale - nipped waists contrasted against heavily puffed mesh and tulle skirts
- Flirty mini`s - shorter lengths give a modern twist on the red carpet. One-shoulder designs with added flirty ornamentation in feathers, ruffles and pleats
- White - a key story for Spring Summer 10
- Deep, intense shades of navy and sapphire provided a sophisticated alternative to black. Brighter shades ranged from royal cobalt to azure, creating more of an aquatic feel.
- Metallics, always glamorous.
