Fashion on Tuesday

With the Met Gala last night, today's post could hardly be about anything else! Birmingham fashion week is this Saturday, so I may try to squeeze in another post before then about, as I shared on Instagram, my "fashion resolutions," but for now I'll share my favorite looks from last night's ball.
I took these pictures from google images. Thank you, lovely paparazzi. I hope you had a blast shooting the Met Gala red carpet
I was wondering what I would say about what I liked and why. Because though fashion is certainly art, I think it's also somewhat a science. And I don't know how valid my opinion from either of those standpoints is, so I shall merely report from my "taste." ((see in the gap video!! my fav!!))

zenSLAYa. I just lovedddd this. The volume, the train, the hair. Yes.


I find this cape fabulous. And very Rihanna. So much of fashion is expressing >you<rself, so I'm a fan! Also, I find the flamboyancey perfect for the MET Gala. I'm not sure about the front, so I just picked a side view! 


Two reasons I picked this: Valentino & Eddie Redmayne. And Hannah looks beautiful in it. Approval!


One word: GODDESS. (this is Kate Hudson. All I know about Kate Hudson is that she killed #METGala2k15)


"Karen Elson." Hello. I don't know who you are. I do know that you killed the theme, rocked a crown, and werked a D&G corset. Nice work.


Emily Ratajkowski. You look stunning. Who are you? Let's be friends?


Alison Williams. Well red+waistline+tulle+ballgown skirt+modest=a VERY charlie outfit. Beautiful! And Alison had one of my favorite Oscars dresses this year, too! Props, girl. You win.


You know me. Well you don't. BUT one thing about me is that I love menswear. And I like Jbieb's look here. Sunnies and shoes and jacket and shirt. Not sure about the cummerbund thing, so I just didn't look too close. 


Hi, Gong Li. You look beautiful. You slayed.


Alexa Chung. Way to bring in the bright colors without looking out of place! I like it! It fits the theme well, is a cute dress, and I like the blue shoes. Hair pulled back was a good move too. Mind if I borrow sometime? 

So there you have it. My #METGala2k15 fashion picks. Excited for #bhamfashionweek this weekend? So am I!
