Metropolitan Gala 2013: Who Wore It Better?
The Costume Institute Gala has always been the kind of event where celebrities can wear the most eccentric thing in their wardrobe and get away with it. This annual dinner celebrates the New York Metropolitan Museum’s Fashion Exhibit, and this spring’s exhibition, titled “PUNK: Chaos to Couture,” has been received to lukewarm reviews, and so has the fashion that came out on the red carpet.
While there were indeed some notable numbers this year, there were also plenty of stars who walked up with similar-ish looks. I polled my fellow Fashionese Daily editors for opinions on some of these corresponding looks, and here’s what we got:
1.Two-tone
While both of our first contenders wear the black-and-white combo, singer Gwen Stefani (in Margiela) wears a conventional colour combo with a very unconventional twist, while actress Leelee Sobieski (Dior) keeps it casual. Winner: Leelee Sobieski. She took this one by a landslide, because Gwen’s valiant effort at representing rock and roll on the red carpet leaves something to be desired (babygirl has killer abs, though!).
