Met Gala 2016 Red Carpet Fashion

The 2016 Met Gala had some fantastic fashion for me and an improvement on recent years. One of the biggest hits was Alicia Vikander in Louis Vuitton. A unique look and those boots are wonderful.

Beyonce in Givenchy was understated so didn't quire reach the heights of previous years,

If Zayn didn't use the phrase 'I'm going to look so cool in this!' when getting ready I will be disappointed. I keep saying themes are naff most off the time. Leave it out Sonnie! Kwl gown for Gigi Hadid.

More suited to Alice in Wonderland than the Met I'm afraid Miranda. Alicia obviously bagged the best LV look.

Blake Lively in Burberry. This is very bold for Burberry and a refreshing choice of colour.

This is lovely. Adriana Lima also going for a fairytale look.

Now isn't this a rare thing. A photo of a couple that seems genuine and not contrived. I've seen The Weeknd live. Amazing! Givenchy wow moment.

A fantastic moment for Claire Danes in Zac Posen. The Met Ball at it's best.

Poppy Delevingne did the theme best. Subtlety is not dead! With a theme it's kwl to not take it literally. She could be an alien in a Star Trek movie.

Forget what I said about subtlety being dead. I presumed Gaga had grown out of this behaviour.

Emma Stone looks like Megan Fox with this look. Why? Bring back the red hair! Not Prada's best look, seems unfinished.

You scrub up well Luther! Tom Ford master class. Dashing.

Orlando is not as dashing as Idris Elba. Is it just me or do the shoes look funny?

A bad night for KP judging by the stares. This Prada gown resembles some kind of gothic Xmas cracker.

Continuing the Xmas cracker vibe Solange wore all the party hats.

Solange Knowles in David LaPort

This look isn't' immortal' Kristen. Chanel are not in form.

I'm a fan of Taylor but this new look is the wrong side of egdy. Don't give me attitude gurl! LV mayhem.

Another poor LV look for Selana Gomez. What's going on with this label?

You nailed it Calvin Klein and Emma Watson! Glam and gothic but not OTT.

This is okay Kylie. For me most of the ladies in Balmain were very samey. A bit more individualism would have been great.

Fab curls and a wonderful textured Boss dress for Anna Ewers.

Another good Zac Posen look for Katie. Sophisticated but a little safe.

Nicole Kidman in Alexander McQueen was an eclectic way to do fairytale style. Just needed edgier jewellery to spice it up.

This was interesting Ciara. Respect!

Brie Larson in Proenza Schouler. The robotic stare defo fits in with the techno theme! I like the top half but the bottom resembles Chanel and does not quite work.

Hair and makeup brilliant Sienna. Dress colour is wrong and ill-fitting. Needed to be sharper with more shimmer.

Finally

Front and back perfection for Liu Wen.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley For Harper's Bazaar

A hugely impressive shoot by Rosie for Harper's Bazaar September issue really caught my eye. Above in my favourite designers D&G for a sweet look and below in what has to be my favourite Dior look since Raf Simons took the helm. A perfect blend of modern feminism without being too minimal. A seriously influential look.

Rosie's Marks & Spencer collaboration is a credit to her for the effort she puts into the collections.

 A strong performance in Mad Max Fury Road should hopefully lead to similar roles and not more Transformers type parts. 

This is the best I have seen McQueen look in ages. A fairytale look but not OTT.

These Max Mara coats are well on the way to iconic status. The pink is a fresh colour too compared to the normal beige.

Nice styling with Amy Adams Fall 2015 campaign too.

Saint Laurent wows with this wool jacket and tulle dress look.

More Rosie

Quite a fashion moment in Paris this year.

Kate Moss vibes here

I really like this look. Imposing in a good way.

A class look. Love how the material sits and it's fit.

Quite striking for Balmain.

Clueless vibes!

Simple yet chic.

A stunning maxi dress.

Super slouchy

Finally

Also in that September issue is Katy Perry styled as Elizabeth Taylor. Maybe acting is worth a go KP.

It's been interesting watching the career of Foxes recently. She seemed to struggle to follow up smash hit 'Youth' with a similar vibe and quality. I found her image and make-up in the song 'Let It Go For Tonight' to be a cliche and not reflective of her personality. 

Her recent fashion collaboration with H&M was good though and new tune 'Body Talk' is decent. Anyway to get to the point Canadian singer Allie X reminds me of Foxes!

An atmospheric voice and evocative lyrics are reflected in 'Catch'.

"My hands are tied behind my back.
I'm paralysed, my heart attacks.
It seemed to me you were the one.
Turns out you shot me up for fun."

"Thought you got away with murder.
Left me at a loss for the words.
Just wait until I catch my breath.
Wait until I catch my breath".

Love hurts!

Heartbreak is a common theme reflected in 'Tumor'.

"When this is over, I'll need a surgery
Cause you were a tumor
You'll leave a hole inside of me
It’s high risk, not hopeless, I'm conscious
When this is over, when this is over
I'll still be letting it grow".

Damn those cheats causing huge NHS waiting lists for tumor removals!

Loving the lace and the red lipstick.

Like Quasimodo she believes in 'Sanctuary'. Another good tune.

Synth-pop can be excellent when done like this and by artists such as Chvrches.

Make a spectacle of yourself.

What's causing the freaky shadow? Godzilla or another pointless re-make?

I want some fed up glasses too.

These are from the wistful/bored range. 

Alas the excruciating wait for the ASOS parcels.

Finally

Grab a kwl tee on Allie's current US tour.
