Met Gala 2012

Sorry to take so long to post again. What I thought was a cold turned out to be another sinus infection. My second one this year...blah! I'm still getting over the body aches, a raspy voice, and a little congestion, but I can finally breathe through my nose again. At this point, if I never see another Kleenex again, I'd be a happy camper. I must have went through around eight boxes! Thank you for the get well wishes!

I thought I'd share my two favorite looks and my least favorite from the red carpet of the Met Gala. I always love looking at the arrivals to this particular event each year. Celebrities get to play it up a notch that they normally might be too afraid to do at any other red carpet event! Love it!

Carey Mulligan in Prada. Definitely my favorite of the night! This was the first dress to truly capture my attention in all of the right ways. The makeup, hair, and shoes were styled just right. Gorgeous!

Kristen Bell in Tommy Hilfiger. While this isn't really a costume ballgown, it's absolutely stunning. I saw a lot of tangerine on the red carpet, but I think this color suits Kristen perfectly. She looks glowing and radiant.

Florence Welch in Alexander McQueen. I know that Alexander McQueen's line is the master of costume dressing and all, but I just don't like this. Seriously, I don't like anything about it. I know Florence is one to often dress "out there", but this? Perhaps it is just a little too avant garde for my taste. It reminds me a bit of a Christmas tree! I love that she takes chances, though.
