Best/Worst of the Met Ball

I look forward to the Met Ball every year.  Although I love watching the red carpet during awards season, it's few and far between that any actress takes a huge risk with their fashion assemble.  Everyone stays pretty much inside the lines, and the few that venture outside still stay in the "fashionably acceptable" range.  Yet at the Met Ball, those who stay safe are in the minority--and I LOVE THAT!  This is one of my favorite fashion events because this is when you see the most bizarre, avant garde dresses.  So here's my take on the best and worst of the Met Ball

My Favorites:

Beyonce in Givenchy Haute Couture
You can't deny B's got a gorgeous body, and this dress leaves just the right amount of imagination.  Plus, I love a dress with feathers!
Camilla Belle in Ralph Lauren Collection
 I love the color, the plunging neckline, and the lipstick color.  It adds just the right amount of class to the dress.


Carey Mulligan in Prada 
Is it gold?  Is it silver?  I know this dress kind of screams "fish scales", but there's no denying it's gorgeous!
Christina Ricci in Thakoon
Christina is known for her "out there" fashion at the ball, so this dress is no surprise.  There's something just right about this.

Diane Kruger in Prada 
It's purple and has feathers--enough said!
Emma Stone in Lanvin
She's just so damn cute, how could you not love this dress?  Apparently it's waterproof too--double plus!
Nina Dobrev in Donna Karan
I love the detailing on this dress, as well as the cascading train and the neckline.
Rooney Mara in Givenchy Haute Couture
I love Rooney, she can do no wrong.  And you all know my obsession with black lace--beautiful!

And my "Not so" Favorites:

Jessica Chastain in Louis Vuitton
This is a beautiful dress and Jessica is a beautiful woman, but this dress does absolutely nothing for
her figure.
Chloe Sevigny in Miu Miu
I feel like she should be dancing up on stage, next to a pole as a go-go dancer.  On a plus side, if anyone needed to touch up their make-up, no need to go to the bathroom, just use one of Chloe's mirrors! 
Florence Welch in Alexander McQueen
I don't exactly hate this dress, but love it or hate it, you have to admit, no one besides Florence would be able to pull this off--Kudos!
Kristin Stewart in Balenciaga
"Sneaker" heels, a pleather "flag" skirt and Tetris top....um, not so much.  But hey, at least she's smiling!
Lily Collins in Valentino
This is a little too "Little House on the Prairie" for my taste...
Sarah Jessica Parker in Valentino
SJP, I love you, but why????!
