The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion
Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan.

Miranda Kerr, the Austrialian beauty.
Absolutely s t u n n i n g in Jil Sander.
A perfect example of the LBD gone wildly sophisticated.
Paradoxical, the idea.
Perfectly trashy all the while elegant.

Peeks of skin never looked so right.
Ashley Olsen, my favourite of the twins.
Truly an angelical vision in all white, graced in her own creation from The Row.
Where conservatism and the liberal j u x t a p o s e .
A high neckline, long sleeves, a floor-length gown.
Yet a low back, revealing a gorgeous jewel.
Elegant would be an understatement.

And last but not least, the best for last.
Daria Werbowy, with her e n d l e s s legs, wins best dressed.
A sequinned mini paired with ankle boots?
Genius. A sight amongst the ubiquitous gowns at the Met.
Smokey eyes, loose hair, all b l a c k .
I die.
Bisous,
La C.
Beautiful.

I’m loving your site to the extreme! Great presentation! Please check me out EgotisticEgotism.wordpress.com
Ashley has always been my favorite twin, as well. She looks so incredibly divine in this dress. The fabric simply cascades over her body. And the color? Gorgeous!
While all their dress look amazing, I am envious of how great their smokey eyes were. So preeeetttyy! i wish i know how to do it =(
gosh, they all look so stylish. love the smoky eye look.
wonderful picks!
i’m in awe of how the dress just falls on her. ashley’s styling of hair and make up is without a doubt amazing. daria’s hair, i want.
these girls look hot!!
Ah! Ashley & Daria were my faves too! Absolutely gorgeous! I also loved Diane Kruger’s Chanel…so purdy! 🙂

After seeing almost all the pictures made at this event, I can’t decide who or who’s outfit I liked the most. Your picks are among my favs too! My shortlist: Molly Sims, Helena Christensen, Diane Krüger: yes, Rihanna: undecided, Madonna, Blake Lively: no.
ashley is always so so chic!!!
I like Miranda, the Jil Sander dress fits perfectly! really spectacular,

I loved Miranda Kerr….
Hey La C. Some incredible pictures of some beautiful women. I love them. I hope you are doing well. Have an awesome weekend. Cheers!
My fave: Diane Kruger, Miranda Kerr!

i’m really liking ashley’s hair all straight and sleek like that.
Hi there-I think there were a lot of stunning dresses about for the Met, thanks for sharing, Daria certainly looks divine!
Ashley to me looks flawless, and effortless.
I love Miranda’s face, but not loving the dress unfortunatley.
They all lookso pretty, but Ashley has to win it for me. She looks stunning and her make up is beautiful.
I love your choices so much!!! Miranda and Ashley were my fav’s as well!
omg!!! i love Daria’s dress;) brilliant;D
xoxox
Oh my gosh they all look so stunning x Sushi
miranda looked amazing, that dress is so much better on a person than a mannequin, I didn’t even see the open detailing!
I thought Ashley was wearing CK. I think The Row is stepping too closely on his aesthetic right now.
Miranda Kerr looks amazing!
I’m soooo stupid !
I forgot Daria’s pic in my faves, she was a-bso-lu-te-ly stunning !
I agree with you about Miranda Kerr, she was rocking it… besides I wrote an article recently about ‘the’ dress and I mentionated that Jil Sander dress so I was superflattered to see I was right^^
All these ladies look great!
Such a group of stunningly beautiful muses! Great job on the post, I love it.
man miranda looks HOT. shes gorrrgeous! luv her dress
love all the looks :]
they all look fabulous.
xoxo
