Hey guys, 

I hope you are all doing so well, it feels like forever since I have wrote a post like this so apologies if I am a bit rusty. Anyway in today's post I am going to be talking about the iconic looks from this years Met Gala and my opinions on the looks. You might not agree with me on my views on the looks but these looks were certainly iconic at this years Met Gala. 

So Lets get into it....

Lets start of with a little into about what the Met gala is and what the theme was this year. So for those of you who don't know the Met Gala is a fundraising gala which is held annually to benefit the metropolitan museum of arts costume institute in New York and marks the annual opening of their fashion exhibit. 

This years theme was Rei Kawakubo/Commes Des Garcons. Rei Kawakubo is the first living designer since Yves Saint Laurent in 1983 to be the sole subject of the met. (So its a pretty big deal) She is known as one of the most influential designers of our time. 

Now of course the first person I am going to talk about is the one and only Rihanna. Weather you love them or hate them in my opinion she is the queen of Met gala looks and she certainly doesn't bore! 

This year Rihanna did not fail to impress. She came dressed in Comme Des Garcons which was of course most suited to this years theme. One of the key things about this look other than of course the iconic outfit is the fact the whole look coincides with what she is wearing and in my opinion just makes it so iconic. So I know a lot of people maybe didn't like this look but personally I love it and think it works on all levels. Its creative, put together, fashion forward (very much like Rei Kawakubos designs) and theme appropriate.

Next up is none other than Cara Delevingne. I also personally liked this look. I did feel it was fitting for the theme however it would have slightly more suited last years futuristic vibes. Having said that can we just talk about her hair for a second. The boldness of that totally slays the braveness that Rei Kawakubo has within her. 

There was then of course Nicki Minaj. Now what I loved about her look was the fact she mixed the theme with her own style which I think is an impressive sign of her identity and it worked well. It was cohesive and put together well.  

 

Katy Perry of course also produced an iconic look for this years Met Gala. Head to toe in Red she really did wow. I really felt that the boldness of the colour represented the theme well. Her outfit was fashion forward and innovative and even though its not my kind of style I still think it looked so incredible. 

Now we can't of course miss out Zendaya. Someone who also never fails to impress with her red carpet looks. The whole look fit together really well and she tried something different and unexpected which I think really worked with the concept of the theme.

Ashley Graham was another one who stole the show. Extenuating her curves she really worked with this years theme in a fashionable way yet still was theme appropriate,  

To follow up to this Claire Danes really went for an experiment this year. It was going to be hard to top her last years light up dress but going with this years theme she really did take a risk with the innovation of the pattern cutting used in the shirt she wore and the fact that she didn't actually wear a dress and she wore trousers and I personally think she pulled it off really well. It may not have been visually the boldest but it still was bold and I like it. 

Now last but certainly not least can we just talk about Tracee Ellis Ross look. She took the theme on board and stunned in a Comme Des Garcons piece. It was different and not something to usually be seen on a red carpet or not and weather you liked it or not ( I did) you cant deny that this met the theme so well!

There was of course many more talked about looks at this years Met Gala that I haven't mentioned and mainly because I wanted to focus on the looks that really complemented this years theme. But if you did want to look at some of the more talked about looks there was of course Kylie and Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid as well as Ruby Rose and Selena Gomez, just to mention a few. 

I hope you guys have all enjoyed having a little read!

Thank you so much for all the support!
