MET Gala 2013: Miranda Kerr



Quite a few Victoria's Secret models showed up on the red carpet this year for the 2013 annual Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala: Liu Wen, Doutzen Kroes, Chanel Iman, Cara Delevingne and Joan Smalls. The theme this year was "Punk: Chaos to Couture." Not only did VS models Chanel Iman and Cara Delevingne decide to wear their hair in side braided punk-inspired styles but so did VS Angel Miranda Kerr! However, instead of tight braids hugging the scalp giving a pseudo-bald punk rock look, Miranda Kerr's hairstyle was soft, very elegant and glamorous with just a tad bit of punk appeal.

She looked stunning in a sexy black cut-out gown by Michael Kors. She sparkled in expensive diamond earrings and bracelets by Cartier. The most punk-inspired accessory that she wore was the daring Christian Louboutin clutch. She strutted comfortably in a pair of sexy, chandelier heels designed by Tabitha Simmons which added the perfect shimmering, feminine touch to complete the look.

Miranda Kerr is known for her impeccable style and exquisite taste. She pulls off the old Hollywood glam style quite easily and this seems to be her signature style. Just always a classic beauty on and off the red carpet. She seems to frequently gravitate towards the classic cut-out gowns which show off her very fit physique quite nicely.

She went a little bit more daring for this gala by having two french braids adorn the left side of her head and neatly tucked underneath the cascade of loose curls that fell nicely to her right shoulder. The dark red nail polish complimented her dark red lipstick giving her a slight punk goth look while still showcasing the glamorous, elegant fashion style that she has been known to wear.

And I just can't say enough about the Michael Kors dress ... from the details of the dual solid zippers in the back to the attached sequin bandeau top ... just fabulous! A perfect 10 on Miranda Kerr.

MET Gala 2013: Chanel Iman



I was shocked when I stumbled across photos of Chanel Iman on the red carpet for this year's annual MET gala. She was in attendance at the Costume Institute Gala for the "PUNK: Chaos to Couture" exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2013 in New York City. I was shocked because she looked amazing - just so well put together and I haven't really seen any photos of her in a while.

For the 2013 MET gala, Chanel wore her hair in a beautiful partially braided style with pink highlights added to the tip of her hair. She has struggled over the years with her hair and now she is on point! The punk-theme for this year's MET gala obviously inspired her to try this new punkish hairstyle. She wore a dress by J. Mendel that suited her well (custom designed for her!) and gave her a very elegant, upper-class look. She accessorize with a hot pink clutch to match her hair highlights and chose to wear white strappy heels to be season-appropriate. The jewels that she wore are by Lorraine Schwartz.

There is one thing for sure about Chanel Iman and that is that she sure knows how to dress! Her well-manicured nails were trendy and added just the perfect spice to the look. She appeared happy, vibrant and just so at ease in these photos.

Once again Chanel Iman is HOT on the scene! How you like her NOW?!?

She seemed to be a party favorite as she was photographed with designer Gilles Mendel, model Cara Delevingne, model Liu Wen and even mega pop star Taylor Swift. I know that her buddy Kanye West performed at the gala so it was particularly interesting to see her chumming it up with Taylor Swift.
