Best of the Met Gala 2013 (the Taessa version)

Last night's Met Gala is comparable to the Oscars for the fashion industry.  The theme this year at the Costume Institute is "Punk: Chaos to Couture".  Highlights are pieces from Vivienne Westwood, London's punk fashion designer of the times, as well as some of Versace's more statement designs, such as the safety pin dress worn by Elizabeth Hurley ages ago.  It's interesting to see how everyone has interpreted the theme, some literal, some oh so thematic (note Marc Jacobs & Sofia Coppola in their pajamas, because they just don't care), but for the most part, the ladies looked beautiful with edge, a combination that I love.  I'm hoping to check out the exhibition before it closes in August (save your couch for me, Tanya).

Here's my favourite red carpet photos, courtesy of style.com ...

#1 Cara Delevingne in Burberry

This one wins hands down!   She's my favourite model these days (who doesn't love her, right?) and she is just pulling off that badass vibe big time!  Plus, this is just a really cool dress period.

#2 Kate Bosworth in Balmain

Apparently pink is the colour of punk, and she just rocks this little dress.  Perfect length in my opinion- when people start to think it's a top!

#3 Rooney Mara in Givenchy

This is the first time I am seeing white lace look hard.  It's usually typically dainty and romantic, but the edge to this dress is wicked!

#4 Sienna Miller in Burberry Prorsum

I always love her, no matter what (she is definitely on my wish list of who to dress).  She looks so happy and fun and cool, as always!

#5 Greta Gerwig in Saint Laurent

Not going to lie, I had to look her up, and then was like, "oh ya, I know who she is".  Love the dress, would wear it in a second!  Too many necklaces in my opinion, but to each their own.  Like the hair too!

#6 Chloë Sevigny in Proenza Schouler

It's not really about the dress here, it's her look!  That whole "I don't give a ...." look I love about her.  I bet we would be great friends.

#7 Carey Mulligan in Balenciaga 

Love the triangle cut, plus this is just a really clean, modern dress.  

But how could she look so sad in it?
