Hey y’all! We were all so anxious to see what the stars wore last night and just like that the  Met gala has come and gone; but not so fast, we’ve still got a rundown to give you of all the hottest looks from the red carpet. Who better to get the 411 from than you, our readers? We’ve rounded up the top 10 best looks of the night based on your likes. Let’s take a look at what you guys had to say:

1.  Halle Berry in Versace: 17,300 likes

Ms. Halle Berry did not come to play! She hit the red carpet in a killer feathered halter Versace jumpsuit. The a dramatic train had the perfect ruffle layered detail which coincided with the theme quite well. Halle has been slaying for quite some time now and it’s refreshing to see how her timeless fashion transcends decades. It’s no wonder she’s #1.

2. Zoe Kravitz in Oscar de la Renta: 12,958 likes

We have yet to see Zoe fail at a red carpet. Sporting her newest pixie, she was a sight to see, better yet pretty in pink in a gorgeous Oscar de la Renta gown. The contrast between her edgy new hair style and the soft tones of her dress played on our emotions.

We’re so used to her bold looks; it was great to see her tap into a softer feminine look. Though not to be confused, her fierceness was ever-present and you made that clear in the comments.

3. Naomi Campbell in Azzedine Alaia: 12,191 likes

The age-defying beauty, Naomi Campbell, graced the red carpet with a date to envy, Edward Enninful, the newly appointed Editor in Chief at British Vogue, but that’s not what we’re here to talk about. Let’s talk about those legs!

The supermodel hit the red carpet looking statuesque in a long sleek Azzedine Alaia dress with a pleated skirt detail which donned a high split to show off her million dollar legs. Her killer bob gave way to the structured shoulders of the dress bringing a bit of edge to her look. Who’s to say her popular date isn’t to blame for landing her at #3? Either way, we’re here for it!

4. Mary J. Blige in LaPerla: 11,763 likes

Thigh high splits were a hot commodity of the night and Mary J.Blige did not skip out on the action. She put her best foot forward-literally- and gave us something to talk about. Not only did she give us leg, but she gave us body in the lacy number by LaPerla. 

Though her look didn’t quite fall in line with the theme, it was a great red carpet look. The sheer paneling was absolutely everything! These ageless beauties are giving us 20 & 30 somethings a run for our money! Wouldn’t you say?

5. Stella Maxwell in custom H&M: 11,078

Stella was a sight to see in a custom H&M dress. The crisp white against the blush satin bodice of the dress was a great contrast. Not to mention, the deep plunge and the exaggerated fringe detail that was perfect for a night at the Met. Though we weren’t expecting to see too many form fitting silhouettes her subtle take on the theme was effortless.

6. Lala in Thai Nguyen atelier: 10,049 likes

Lala has been killing us softly with her looks these days, but let’s get into her look for one of fashions biggest nights. She wore a black sheer gown by Thai Nguyen. Talk about risqué! She left nothing to the imagination.

I particularly love the back of the dress which was an open back with a bow tie detail that perfectly cinched her waistline. She played her cards well with the dramatic number and it looks like you guys agree.

7. Rihanna in Comme des Garçons: 9,664 likes

Can’t say I’m not a bit disappointed to see Rih-Rih land anything lower than 5th place being that she seemed to have hit the head on the nail with the theme of the night, down to the rosy cheek bones and eyes; paying homage to the Japenese designers roots.

Of course it helps that she stuck to one of Rei Kawakubo’s head turning designs to assist in getting it right. If you ask, me I’d say she delivered impeccably and deserves a higher rank, but hey, it’s not about me. Rihanna is not one to stray away from making a statement and that she did.

8. Lori Harvey in Dolce and Gabbana: 9,026 likes

You know what they say, “Like mother, like daughter”. Looks like Lori Harvey has followed in her mother’s foot steps and fallen in love with lavish designs from designers, such as the bejeweled number she wore by Dolce and Gabbana. I love how the dress graduates from heavy jewels on the top to plush tulle on the bottom. She looks ready to reign a dynasty. It’s the perfect take on the theme for a diva such as herself.

9. Priyanka Chopra in custom Ralph Lauren: 7,926 likes

Priyanka looked like a boss in her custom Ralph Lauren trench dress. From the sexy high split, to the sultry off the shoulder, everything about her look screamed bad ass! The train on the dress let us know that she had certainly arrived. Thus, it’s landed her in the top 10 thanks to you guys.

10. Kylie Jenner in Versace: 4,847 likes

Last but certainly not least is Kylie Jenner in a neutral Versace gown. The sheer gown consisted of a fishnet overlay adorned with a multitude of jewels. The soft tones of the dress allowed her platinum locs to stand bold. Though she just made the cut, it doesn’t look like you guys were about to let a Karsashian/Jenner miss the mark!

 

There you have it for your top 10 best dressed! Who do you think was the best dressed?

 

The 2017 Met Gala is going down right now! As you might have imagined, everyone looks gorgeous thus far, but few have been bold enough to opt for the night’s theme in order of the iconic Rei Kawakubo.

Let’s get into the evening’s ensembles, shall we?

Janelle Monae brought her signature black and white look to the carpet, this time choosing an exciting Ralph and Russo gown for the night.

Thandie Newton was a beaut in a custom red Monse one-sleeve gown, with a thigh-high slit. She was a total knockout in this look!

Chrissy Teigen’s feather-accented Marchesa gown was brilliant.

Rita Ora’s red, bow-detailed Marchesa gown was unequaled on the carpet! Her $3 million Lorraine Schwartz studs were a nice touch. Bling bling to the max.

From Zoe Kravitz’s blonde pixie to her pink satin Oscar de la Renta gown with black feather detailing…the entire look was out-of-this-world!

Halle Berry sizzled in a sheer, embellished Atelier Versace jumpsuit with metallic rosette embroidery. Does it get better than this?

I knew Rihanna would slay on the carpet and she did not disappoint in a colorful, textured floral print Comme des Garçons look. Utterly impeccable.

With her voluminous ‘fro and printed Dolce & Gabbana gown, it was nearly impossible to take my eyes off of Zendaya.

Only Solange Knowles could wear a puffer coat to the Met Gala. At least it was by Thom Browne! She’s the coolest.

Nicki Minaj brought the drama in a black and red H&M playsuit for the occasion.

Kerry Washington slipped on a black banged bob and custom black double-crepe-sablé cutout Michael Kors gown with silver patchwork embroidery. She nailed this!

Mommy-to-be Serena Williams glowed in green Versace.

Kim Kardashian was white hot in an off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood Couture gown. So elegant, but not as daring as I hoped for the style star.

Jennifer Lopez brought new beau A.Rod along for the night, stunning in a blue Valentino number. Not as edgy as I would have liked from her, but she’s always flawless.

A custom Ralph Lauren Collection trench evening gown was on the style agenda for Priyanka Chopra. Easily one of the night’s best dressed.

Tracee Ellis Ross chose wearable art from the house of the night, in a sculptural blue jacquard dress. I loved this!

Pharrell kept it pared-down in a black leather embellished biker jacket, plaid button-front shirt, destructed denim, and low-top Docs from Comme des Garçons, while wife Helen Lasichanh went all out in a voluminous jumpsuit from the brand. They’re perfect.

LaLa Anthony tried on the sheer gown trend for size, slipping on an embellished Thai Nguyen Atelier for the night. This was fab.

Cassie and Diddy were easily of the night’s best looking and best dressed couples, with the lady in an On Aura Tout Vu gown and the gentleman in Rick Owens and Christian Louboutin. What’s not to love?

Lupita Nyong’o went bold in a coral organza chiffon Prada gown with hand-cut organza flowers at its strapless neckline. This color was so lovely on her!

Cornrows and a divine white Valentino caped gown were Ruth Negga’s choices for the gala.

Mary J. Blige smoldered in a black lace La Perla gown with a sexy slit. She’s never looked hotter.

Trevor Noah cut a fine form in Ermenegildo Zegna Couture.

Hassan Minhaj killed it at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner this weekend, then showed up to the gala in a swanky Turnbull and Asser tuxedo. Swoon-worthy, no?

Cynthia Erivo dazzled in a white beaded Thom Browne asymmetric shoulder dress and a platinum ‘fro to match.

Deepika Padukone kept it simple and classic in a white silk Tommy Hilfiger gown.

Wiz Khalifa let his fun-loving personality and quirky fashion sense shine through in Thom Browne. I enjoyed this!

Future was smart in black and blue H&M.

Liu Wen wore the designer of the moment, slipping on an alluring Off-White look.

Blake Lively was gilded in a custom gold Atelier Versace gown with a peacock feather-inspired hem. Breathtakingly beautiful.

Kylie Jenner followed LaLa’s lead in a sheer embellished Versace gown with fringe detailing. I thought she would be clad in Balmain, but I’m pleasantly surprised by this getup!

Kendall Jenner certainly dropped jaws in a barely-there La Perla Haute Couture design.

Jaden Smith brought his dreadlocks and some grills to the red carpet as his accessories, complementing his all black Louis Vuitton ‘fit.

Mindy Kaling was a blue dream in a navy, off-the-shoulder sequin Prabal Gurung gown with a fringe hem. She’s never looked more stunning!

Monse paid tribute to Rei Kawakubo through Claire Danes. Her ruffled white shirt and lace-up black trousers were a complete slay.

Gisele Bundchen looked every bit the supermodel in a long-sleeve silver Stella McCartney gown. A flawless look, though not really capturing the theme—am I right?

Co-chair Katy Perry gave us red bride vibes in a custom lace Maison Margiela confection, designed by John Galliano himself. Would you expect anything less from her and the iconic designer?

Rose Byrne opted for a red Ralph Lauren cutout gown with a full skirt and plunging neckline. Gorgeous, no?

Katie Holmes was the belle of the ball in an off-the-shoulder look from Zac Posen. Amazing gown!

Lena Dunham was retro in the best way possible, outfitted in a one-shoulder Elizabeth Kennedy piece.

The classic black and white color palette was Allison Williams’s choice for the night in DVF.

Elizabeth Banks’s printed Michael Kors Collection dress was a veritable optical illusion!

Selena Gomez was pretty in pink—ethereal in a Coach gown with a thigh-high slit. A bit lackluster for me, but pretty nonetheless.

Lily Collins’s black bob wig took her Giambattista Valli Couture gown to the next level, which I didn’t even think was possible. A risk that paid off!

As the face of the legendary Italian fashion house’s new fragrance, it was no surprise to see Dakota Johnson wearing Gucci.

Emily Ratajkowski shimmered and sparkled in a colorful sequin Marc Jacobs gown. Beautiful!

Nick Jonas uplifted his expertly-tailored Ralph Lauren Collection pieces with a printed sportscoat. He’s so handsome.

Lily Aldridge was a vision in a custom white Ralph Lauren Collection cutout dress and red Balenciaga thigh-high boots for the evening. One of my favorite looks of the night!

It was no surprise to see Sophie Turner in Louis Vuitton! Her lace appliqué gown with a ruffled back wasn’t a head-turner, but it was certainly pretty.

Hailee Steinfeld flaunted her toned gams in a Vera Wang, thigh-baring ensemble. I live for her style!

Emmy Rossum’s black and white, bow-detailed Carolina Herrera ‘fit was given a pop of color with red lips. So chic!

I love both Bella Hadid and Alexander Wang, but her long-sleeve, off-the-shoulder mesh catsuit fell flat for me.

Reese Witherspoon was clad in an asymmetric shoulder, custom black and blue Mugler gown with a thigh-high slit.

Celine Dion attended her first-ever Met Gala in black and silver Versace. This was so much fun!

Diane Kruger’s white cady Prada gown with gold and crystal embellishment was superb.

Gigi Hadid wore one of the edgiest Tommy Hilfiger dresses I’ve ever seen!

Miranda Kerr’s strapless Oscar de la Renta gown was sublime.

Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys were my favorite duo of the evening—sporting a custom-made shawl collar tuxedo tailcoat with duchess satin lapels and a red silk charmeuse tuxedo stripe pant, along with a custom Abraham Moon wool double-breasted jacket with peak satin lapels and a wool traditional Welsh kilt, respectively.

Candice Swanepoel served up dark romance in a strapless black Topshop ball gown. Totally immaculate.

Riley Keough continued to reign supreme on the red carpet, choosing a zip-front sequin Louis Vuitton dress for the gala.

Cara Delevingne channeled a futuristic, chic robot—covering her bald head in silver paint and crystal embellishment. Her silver embellished Chanel suit finished the ensemble perfectly.

Kate Hudson was polished in a white, asymmetric shoulder Stella McCartney gown with matching platinum tresses to boot.

Sofia Richie smoldered in a metallic sequin Topshop gown. Perhaps her most magnificent look to date!

Julianne Moore’s colorful, feather Calvin Klein by Appointment frock was easy to fall in love with.

Gwyneth Paltrow also wore a look from the iconic American fashion house—a pale pink one-shoulder, sequin frock. Fun fact: she wore Calvin Klein to her first Met Gala in 1995!

Another dazzling Calvin Klein look! Adwoa Aboah’s lace embellished white gown with a tuxedo-inspired train was exquisite.

Michelle Monaghan’s silver, chainmail-inspired Paco Rabanne gown was impressive in its craftsmanship and powerful simplicity.

Ashley Graham upped the romance quotient for the night in a white and red ruffled H&M gown. Ravishing!

Rami Malek opted for the hue of the night, suited up in a red Dior Homme pairing. Certainly not for the faint of heart, but he pulled this off effortlessly.

Hailey Baldwin continued her love of crop tops in a strapless bustier and triple tier tulle skirt, both by Carolina Herrera.

Corinne Foxx headed to the gala in a Dolce&Gabbana Alta Moda embroidered georgette gown, encrusted with colorful sequins.

Mandy Moore’s custom black asymmetrical cashmere Michael Kors Collection gown with hand-embroidered floral corsages, a black cashmere glove, silver asymmetrical studded earrings, and vibrant purple eyeshadow were surefire hits for the evening.

It was all about plaid for Michael B. Jordan in a double-breasted Ralph Lauren duo in the classic pattern. So fresh and so clean!

Joan Smalls was dressed to kill in a red plunging Topshop gown with a sultry slit.

Pinstripes never looked so avant-garde on Jourdan Dunn, who was dressed in H&M.

Queen Naomi Campbell was clad in Azzedine Alaïa alongside new British Vogue EIC Edward Enninful. What a classy duo!

Sasha Lane turned the notion of the timeless LBD on its head in a buckled-bodice, full-skirted embellished H&M design.

Today is the day we wait at the edge of our seats for the reveal of what is certain to be, one of the most anticipated red carpet events, the Met Gala! Stars and their glam teams are gearing up to give their rendition on the theme of the night, “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons”.

Kawakubo’s exhibit will be the first from a living designer in over 30 years since Yves Saint Laurent did so in 1983. Mannequins will be displayed at eye level allowing for a more intimate experience for museum-goers. Andrew Bolton tells Vogue, “Rei Kawakubo is one of the most important and influential designers of the past forty years. By inviting us to rethink fashion as a site of constant creation, recreation, and hybridity, she has defined the aesthetics of our time.”

Katy Perry and Pharell Williams are set as co-hosts for what’s sure to be an eventful night. The two are no strangers to making a statement on the red carpet, so it certainly fits the bill (can’t wait to see how they show out!).

Kawakubo will be an honorary chair along with the former ambassador to Japan, Caroline Kennedy. At the realm of it all will be none other than, Anna Wintour.

Though we are itching to know how the stars will make their debuts on the red carpet, we are certain it will be nothing short of unconventional. Kawakubo is revered as an avant-garde designer known to push the envelope, so folks, we are in for one dramatic night!

Tonight is the night to look past the form fitting whimsical gowns and think outside the box; be ready for show-stopping stunners, that will wow! To give you a taste, here are a few looks from her previous collections:

Be sure to keep up with us on social media @fashionbombdaily to get first dibs on how the stars step it up and tackle the theme for tonight’s extravaganza!

Thoughts?

 

Question: If you were riding in a car on your way to the mall, would you listen to the radio and enjoy some music on the way there?  Or would you wait until you reach the mall and then turn the music on?  Chances are (if you are a music lover), you will enjoy your music on the way to the mall.  So why not treat life the same way?

Life is not about the destination, it’s about enjoying the ride on the way to the destination.  I hear people talk all the time about what they are going to do when they finally accomplish a goal or reach a certain status.  My question to them is, “What are you doing in the meantime?”  Life shouldn’t be on hold until you reach a desired point.  Life is a road that is meant to be traveled and lived at all stages because you never know when that road will change or end.

Don’t wait for the perfect moment to live.  Enjoy the music on the way to that perfect moment.  Living on the way to your perfect moment will make your perfect moment that much better.

Happy Monday Positive People!

On Saturday evening, Hollywood was all abuzz as the stars stepped out in support of Mrs. Tina Knowles- Lawson, and husband Richard Lawson’s Wearable Art Gala.  With the California African American Museum set as the backdrop for the auspicious occasion, quite a handful of our favorite celebs stepped out in outfits celebrating art and creativity.  Let’s take a look at who shined for this star-studded event!

The hosts, Richard and Tina Lawson posed for cameras while sharing a warm embrace.  Mama Tina wore a strapless, mermaid gown crafted with an abundance of leaves, while Richard donned a black and red sequined blazer.  So cute, these two!

Of course, Beyoncé was there.  Though she didn’t walk the carpet, the soon to be mother of twins looked stunning in this shot while inside.  Queen Bey wore a lovely red Stello ‘Aurora’ gown and an ornate headpiece laden with flowers and butterflies.  She looks regal, doesn’t she?Not too far behind, and keeping a low profile, was Jay-Z, clad in a sleek Gucci fall 2016 powder blue suit.  The man looks sharp everytime.Solange was her artistic, radiant self in a deep plum Issey Miyake construction.  Minimal makeup and white boots completed her look.Kelly Rowland channelled Blue Ivy’s  2016 VMA look in this frothy, lavender Monsoori gown.  Lorraine Schwartz jewels, a Gebede clutch and Buscemi sneakers tied Kelly’s fun ensemble together.  And can we take one second to get into that lavender wig to match? Kelly made the night even more special when she posed with the incomparable, outspoken U.S. House of Representatives from California’s 43rd disctrict and member of the Congressional Black Caucus, Rep. Maxine Waters.  When she’s not defending the rights of African Americans and speaking boldly against the current presidency, she’s down for a good party.Michelle Williams was in the building, looking lovely in a beautifully embellished Esé Azénabor couture column gown.  Sleek hair, subtle smokey eye and dazzling earrings do Michelle so much justice.June Ambrose came through to celebrate, wearing a fuschia Christian Siriano prefall 2016 gown.  Extravagant bell sleeves and a dramatic bow tie into the affair so well, no?Singers and sisters, Chloe x Halle posed in pleated, metallic numbers for the night’s soirée.Empire star and recording artist, Serayah, was a doll in a rose gold embellished empire waist gown and fringed coat by Jenny Packham.  Loved her hair and soft, glowy makeup.Meagan Good also showed her support, stunning in an emerald colored gown accented with navy lace detailing at the bust.Draya Michele was on tap for the evening’s festivities as well, wearing a light pink halter gown.  Her hair and makeup were beautiful, though I wish there was a little more drama somewhere in the look considering the event’s theme.Bianca Lawson made certain she came prepared in a gorgeous navy and silver brocade gown, replete with  three dimensional butterflies affixed about the bust and ruffle of the skirt.  So creative!Actress Tasha Smith brought a little fever to Instagram before hitting up the Wearable Art Gala, posing in her doorway while wearing a sexy black lace bardot dress by Valdrin Sahiti.  Slay, Tasha!And last, but certainly not least, are EJ Johnson, his mother Cookie, and father, the legendary ‘Magic’ Johnson.  The family posed for pics pre-gala……but of course, EJ needs a red carpet moment all to himself.  What better way to show off that fabulous Gucci resort 2017 jacket?Looks like fun times were definitely had by all.  Who were your favorites?
