One
of the fanciest nights in fashion happened once again last night.
The spring 2015 Costume Institute exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of
Art was dedicated to
Chinese fashion. The theme this year was "China:
Through the Looking Glass," and it showcased Chinese art
and rare artifacts as well as dresses
interpreting Chinese designs from Western designers like, John
Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Tom Ford. Some of the
finest Hollywood stars were out there, serving us all kinds of greatness.
Although, some mega stars who rarely do fashion faux-pas in my books, such as
JLO and Beyoncé stunned on the carpet, I found their dresses to be boring and
way too common. They would look spectacular in any other events but I feel like
they didn’t interpret the theme well. I believe that fashion is all about
taking risks and looking EXTRAordinary and
confident while doing so, and this is why my winner for this event is no one else
but the Queen of Barbados: RIHANNA. Never let it be said that the girl doesn’t
know how to make an entrance.
The
pop singer managed to pull the red carpet out from under the rest of them at
the Met Gala on Monday when she swooped in wearing a fur-trimmed yellow cape
with floral swirls of gold and a train so long it required three wranglers. The
ensemble came with a little pink mini-dress underneath, and a sparkling tiara.
In keeping with the evening's theme — China, and its artistic influence on the
West — the outfit came from Beijing-based designer Guo Pei.
And please keep in mind, that Fashion is temporary and style is eternal and Rihanna seems to have mastered the fine line between these two. BOW DOWN RIRI.
