Celebrity Fashion Sightings: 2015 Met Ball Gala

Another fashion red carpet; isn’t red carpet season over? Actually, it is. But, there is just one big major red carpet roundup that trumps even some of the red carpets during Award Season, the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute’s Gala.

Renamed last season the Anna Wintour Costume Center, for 2015 the Met Gala celebrated East meets West in its new exhibit “China Through the Looking Glass.” This detailed exhibit examines Chinese aesthetic ‘s impact on Western fashion. Though some fashion pundits and cultural critics may deem this exploration into what some may call chinoiserie a westerner world’s fetish with all things Asian, others will see this exhibit as a fantastic representation on how Chinese culture has influenced haute couture, avant-garde, and ready-to-wear collections.

In celebration of this new exhibit, the fashion elite and throngs of celebrities pulled out all the stops at the Met Gala last night. From a wide array of Emperor red red-carpet concoctions to some garments that perhaps would have had more clout on a Broadway stage, celebs made this East Coast red-carpet worthy of all the brouhaha and buzz!!

Emperor red, red everywhere

Emperor red and all its many variations was definitely the color of the evening for many fashion savvy celebs. Australian Supermodel Jessica Hart stunned the crowd in a chinoiserie-influenced deep red velvet Valentino gown with Carrera y Carrera and Sutra jewelry. Amal Clooney kept pace with the red trend by looking snatched in a crimson Maison Margiela tiered number. Pulling up the rear, so to speak, was Rita Ora in a Mandarin-styled red Tom Ford gown.

The curves have it

No one shows off their curves better than Jennifer Lopez, and at the Met Gala the 40-plus, triple threat in a revealing, peek-a-boo Atelier Versace gown, Sutra ruby fan earrings, Ivy ruby ring, Harry Kotlar 8 karat diamond ring and a Jack Vartanian diamond ringlet, everyone know that age aint nothing but a number. She was also on theme.

Kim Kardashian was as curvaceous as ever, but not in a good way. Her Roberto Cavalli gown with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry made her look like an overstuffed bird.

When in doubt wear black

Though some celebs stayed on theme, others played it safe. Miley Cyrus’ studded, high-collared number with large cutouts from Alexander Wang actually aged the pop sensation. While Julianne Moore looked the sophisticated Oscar winner in Givenchy Haute Couture. “It Model Girl” Cara Delevinge was downtown sassy, tattoos and all, in Stella McCartney.

And why not white?

Amanda Seyfried was a classy stunner in Givenchy Haute Couture. While you couldn’t get any more current than Theia Bridal spring 2015 which what Liz Hernandez donned for this stellar occasion. And it worked!!

Sleek and sophisticated

Taraji Henson may play a bigger than life character on Fox’s “Empire;” however, for this red carpet she was appropriately sophisticated and chic in Balenciaga. Fei Fei Sun looked great in Vogue’s “China Through the Looking Glass” editorial, and she was also luminous in Michael Kors for this red carpet. Kendall Jenner looked all grown up in Calvin Klein Collection’s pale green sheath gown.

The odd and outrageous

There were plenty of daring, odd outfits to go around this season, but that is par for the course at the Met Gala. Though some may not describe Beyonce’s Givenchy dress as odd, it was certainly daring and eye catching. When you look up odd in Webster’s dictionary, Lady Gaga’s photo is staring right at you, front and center. And true to form, she stayed true to her brand in an over-the-top outrageous and odd Balenciaga gown and cape.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s appeal has always been a mystery, and this mystery continues this season as they donned vintage Dior and John Galliano. Their Lilliputian stature makes Fashion Reverie think that they will break out in a chorus of “Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead” at any moment.

H&M and the men

Does H&M make red carpet clothes? If Janelle Monae has a say in it, they do. And she was definitely on trend with cape and crop top from H&M with Jack Vartanian diamond earrings, Le Vian rings, a Carla Amorim diamond bracelet and diamond rings, and a Casa Reale diamond ring.

True to form, Fashion Reverie never leaves the men out. Adrian Brody looked stylish in a Dolce & Gabbana jacket. Dwayne Wade looked sharp in Versace escorting Gabrielle Union in Zac Posen. And last but not least, Justin Bieber looked dapper in Balmain.

Celebrity Fashion Sightings: Week of April 20, 2015

April 24, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment

Fashion is always moving forward, and, in some instances, faster than we would like to believe. As we gratefully move away from celebrity fashion sightings at Coachella. Ugh!! We look forward to some great fashion seen on red carpets at the Tribeca Film Festival, some movie premieres, and some fashionable charity events.

Laverne Cox

Just as fashion is forever moving forward, sometimes at a breathtaking speed, so is the world beginning to embrace mankind in all its spectacular, diverse manifestations. Who would’ve believed that a transgendered person would be getting some media exposure for being a formidable actress and style icon? We are truly now in the 21^st Century!!

Laverne Cox has it all; acting chops, beauty, and a great sense of style. She looks stunning in this form hugging red dress with Chimento ring and Jewelmer golden south sea pearl earrings while attending the Premiere of “Grandma” during the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival.

Bianca May Jagger

Celebs mixed it up this past week, going from red carpet, high fashion to casual sportswear. And Bianca May Jagger proves it you have a great sense of style and know how to mix and match well—or, have a great stylist—going from high fashion to casual sportswear can be a breeze.

Jagger looks fantastic on the red carpet in this black fringe Roberto Cavalli dress at the 9^th Annual DELETE BLOOD CANCER gala. The scion of Mick Jagger and Supermodel Jerry Hall is also a stunner in a casual look from Cavalli visiting researchers at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Blake Lively

Very few actresses can wear a gown from a few seasons ago and still make the paparazzi stand up and take notice. Well, that is what Blakely Lively did at the movie premiere of “Age of Adaline” in a feathery red carpet gown with leather and red lace bodice from Monique Lhuillier. That’s right; the gown is from Lhuiller’s spring 2012 collection. No matter, Lively still looks incredible in it!

Lively is equally comfortable is something more casual as she leaves her hotel in Los Angeles. Lively sports a great Rivington tote from Henri Bendel. She kept her accessories on point, pairing the canvas and leather bag with an adorable floppy hat and her new favorite pair of colorful floral peep toe heels.

Lindsey Vonn

It’s warming up and time to pull out the pastels and white garments. Just in time for spring. Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn is eye catching in an off-the-shoulder figure enhancing white Christian Siriano gown with statement pieces from Henri Bendel at the Time 100 gala.

It is Coachella Valley Music and Art Festival’s first weekend. The annual music events runs from April 10–April 20, and the celebrities are out in large numbers. Though this event is a dress-down event compared to red carpet and award season events, celebs still keep it sweet and sassy.

Still, there is great celebrity fashion to comment on beyond Coachella. And Fashion Reverie keeps its viewers front row and center on all the celebrity fashion from Coachella to Los Angeles to New York City Streets. Enjoy!!

Kendall Jenner’s worldwide fashion domination continues, even when she sports casual looks at Coachella. It seems no matter what Kendall wears she looks great. And as evidenced by this Instagram photo of Kendall in this maroon and light grey bikini top and frayed denim shorts. Kendall also dons a DYLANLEX “Hendrix” Swarovski–crystal encrusted necklace and “Rocky” bracelet.

Just because award season may be coming to a close—well, more of a slow down—that doesn’t mean that Fashion Reverie is not committed to keeping its viewers in the know about what our favorite celebrities are wearing. Whether they are looking fabulous on a red carpet or just showing their own signature style in their everyday lives, Fashion Reverie brings you the all the celebrity fashion sighting news. Remember, sometimes is not who and what you are wearing, but how you wear it!!

Jennifer Lopez looks absolutely fetching in this revealing, white lacy short number from Roberto Cavalli’s fall 2015 collection at Nickelodeon’s 2015 Kid’s Choice Awards. Looking good J-Lo at 45. I want what “Jenny from the block” is having!!

Karlie Kloss image courtesy of CMMedia PR

Though Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was over more than five weeks ago, Supermodel Karlie Kloss is still stomping the NYC streets. Here she is on a shopping spree in Manhattan wearing Moncler down jacket. Karlie may not be strutting down a runway, but she still looks great!!

Cara Santana image courtesy of The Brand House

Cara Santana (Major Crimes, CSI: Miami) stepped out in Los Angeles wearing one of spring’s most effortless trends by fashion brand Marciano. A colorful jumpsuit makes for a chic but easy “out-the-door-in-minutes” look. The starlet expertly paired her Marciano jumpsuit with python pumps by the same brand. She was photographed at the Redbury Hotel.

Cara said, “Marciano’s spring collection is perfect for the strong, independent sexy cosmopolitan women. The palette is soft and feminine, while the style is strong and sophisticated. The jumpsuit represents just that to a tee.”

Green Grammer image courtesy of LER PR

And Greer Grammer caught everyone’s attention showing off her curves in a House of CB dress, paired with bold Carolinna Espinosa “Sammy” heels and a graphic BLACKSEA “Greenwich Clutch.” Greer Grammer currently stars in MTV’s show “Awkward” and is the daughter of renowned actor Kelsey Grammer and make-up artist Barrie Bruckner.

This look was admired so much that it made it onto E! Online’s Best Dressed of the Night list. Daddy Kelsey would be so proud!!

As we slowly part ways with 2014 and are almost done with our New Year’s resolution list, there are many things to look forward to in January. Though we are contemplating the extra pounds we might put on and how we will get rid of the extra weight and look good for New Year’s Eve—detox diet and sweat through a waist-training corset which is the most popular current fat burning method—it’s great to have some celebrity fashion style to contemplate.

Nominees for the 2015 Golden Globes were announced last Friday. As the red carpet season’s first award show, Fashion Reverie made some predictions about the style we might see from some particular glam ladies.

Julianne Moore—Best Actress in a Motion Picture

You know, this talented actress only wears Dior, Tom Ford, and Bulgari, just to name a few. Julianne certainly has an expensive taste but what we love that about her. And she also likes color. She is versatile and is not afraid to take risks. Sometimes it is hard to take in Moore’s complete look until we take a step back and recognize what a trendsetter this redhead is.

Allison Tolman—Best Actress in a Mini Series or TV Movie

Allison is often not given enough credit for her red carpet style. We are aware that she is not the most svelte of the bunch but she never lets her curves spill over. She plays with silhouettes and is willing to show a little bit of cleavage, and that is always a good thing!!

Images courtesy of cocperez.com and tribute.ca, respectively

Emily Blunt—Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy

Her style tends to be classic even though once in a while she surprises us with a crop top or a cut-out dress. We say Emily, keep doing what you’re doing because there are no mistakes in your previous red carpet appearances!

Images courtesy of redcarpet-fashionawards.com and cutepieces.com, respectively

Uzo Aduba—Best Supporting Actress in Series, Mini Series or TV Movie

“Crazy Eyes” and her looks on Netflix might be questionable but the actress in real life has a great sense of fashion. She looks feminine and is definitely showing off her toned body. As a new face on the carpets, she is experimenting and trying out different looks. With each appearance she takes it up a notch

Images courtesy of bochic.com and abc.net.au, respectively

Jessica Chastain—Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture

Jessica is one of the few actresses on this list has Old Hollywood glamour. She always looks like a real star. Effortless beauty in motion; Jessica’s dresses are always perfectly fitted, her make up is simple and natural and she looks like she woke up looking perfect.

Get ready, we will have a lot of fun during the awards season and look out for Fashion Reverie’s Golden Globes red carpet report!

American Music Awards (AMAs) 2014 were last night’s most popular and highly rated show.

Fashion Reverie as usually has an opinion on which of the stars looked their best. Here are Fashion Reverie’s seven favorites.
