Spotted at the Steps of the Met

7 May 2009 • Kimberly • Leave a Comment

May 4, 2009.

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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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^^
