Fashion recap from The 2013 MET Ball!

The biggest fashion red carpet & event of the year is currently underway at MoMA in NYC, and I've got the Check out the risk takers who pulled off their looks fabulously, and those who tried....

The Theme was  VOGUE's 2013 "PUNK: Chaos To Couture" themed

And The Honorary Co- Chair Beyonce was anything but PUNK. If you ask me. It looked like something from a Spanish Armada! 

This is from Givenchy Haute Couture.  After last year's shutdown in the purple & black feather & sheer number, Bey, who is serving as this year's honorary co-chair, switched it up with a strapless leather bodice and a printed gold and black skirt with a high slit that exposed matching boots, and came with matching gloves.  

AND IT WASN’T PUNK ROCK! But looked OK!

We're absolutely loving Alicia Keys', and Kerry Washington's looks for the night.

Alicia kept her sexy edge in a leather cutout Jason Wu halter dress with a red sequined bottom half and the perfect touch of punk with Robert Lee Morris jewels, a Tonya Hawkes clutch and streak of red hair.

"Scandal" star Kerry Washington has been on a whirlwind NYC promo tour today hitting up several back to back to back talk shows.  And she pulled it together once again tonight in a gorgeous Vera Wang creation.  Vera stepped outside the box of her usual simple colors and flowy looks to go for a structured multimedia dress with a bold metallic print.  And it worked perfectly for Kerry.

Kerry and Vera even posed it up with Andre Leon Talley inside looking like a page snatched straight from VOGUE magazine.  Serve. 

But LaLa Anthony it’s PUNK not the PROM! She wore this red satin Zac Posen dress as she showed off her new slim & toned bod in a dress that would show every flaw.  But in this look, she's got none.  Perfect straightened & cut blonde hair as well. BUT STILL NOT PUNK’ish!

La had some fun with her girl Chanel Iman who rocked striped Diane von Furstenberg.

And let's discuss Nicole Richie's surprising silver foxy look shall we? I say it works for her.  It's a costume gala after all and she gave just enough "costume" drama.  Chick could play Storm in X-Men.  The fashion diva rocked Dana Rebecca Designs and a Maria Francesca Pepe ring.

And this thing HERE! Oh Nicki MiNOT!. Not sure if it's the 80's hair (yeah, we know the theme is Punk but still) or the dark lipstick with it, but this is doing a bit much it looks more GOTH than PUNK.  The dress isn't doing it for us either.  Maybe it's because it's by Tommy Hilfiger and he doesn't strike us as a red carpet formal gown type of designer.  

But, it's not horrible But not Fab either.

By the way, Tommy gifted her with a Rolex a few hours ago as well that she happily put on Twitter.  Nice!

Fashion diva Solange Knowles never gets it wrong.  And last night was no different.  The "Losing You" singer stepped outside the box and rocked a printed blue Kenzo dress for, as she called it, an "Afro Punk" look.  

And we're loving every bit of it.  The hair, that slit, and those gorgeous earrings.  Loves it! But truthfully it's more African-Tribal than PUNK!

Rocking a white Thakoon look with an exposed midriff slit and a high split in the skirt,

Rita Ora got it all the way right with the hair and makeup as well.  Loving this look for her.she paired her look with Nicholas Kirkwood heels and Tasaki for Thakoon necklace, earrings and bracelet. She topped it all off with Cartier rings.

SORRY THIS WAS PUNK MUTHAPHUCKIN’ ROCK THE QUEEN! Madonna! She gave this look totally punk.

OVAH AS USUAL! 

THIS IS ICONIC!

But Miss Kim Kardashian where did you get that curtain from?

This may be Kim's first...and last visit to the Met Ball.  Anna Wintour shunned her for years, and finally after gaining admission with boyfriend Kanye West who's performing, fashion critics are going in on her Givenchy alterations and the entire look.  But is it that much of a disaster?

You luck up on an invite to the 2013 Met Ball and you tap Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy to custom design your gown.  And this is what you and up with.

The all over floral print floor length gown complete with a train, a turtle neck and long sleeves is enough to make your eyes squint for relief, but it's the fashion critics who are going in extra hard on social media about Kim K.'s look.

While this is officially called the Costume Institute Gala and risque looks are more than welcomed, Kim's look at The Metropolitan Museum of Art tonight may have just set some people off.

Life & Style reports that the dress has gone through 5 alteration overhauls due to Kim's growing body.  And since she's pregnant, this is to be expected.  But reportedly, according to the tabloid, Kanye is pissed that Kim's new stylist allegedly demanded...very last minute...to add sleeves to the dress because the stylist didn't want Kim's arms exposed.

"She had the Givenchy severely altered at the last minute on orders of her new stylist," a fashion insider tells Life & Style.

"She's gained a lot of weight in her arms and her stylist has told her she should not show them off," the insider says. "So her dress now has sleeves when it was sleeveless before."

Continues the source, "Kanye is annoyed, as the dress is by his best friend Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy, and he feels embarrassed that Kim is messing with a beautiful piece of art."

A pregnant woman's body is always beautiful.  But should Kim have chosen a different dress to flatter her new bod?  You decide...

And the athletes also made their way to the high fashion event:

NY Giants star Victor Cruz kept it dapper in a teal Lanvin dinner jacket with his tux.

And his fiancee Elaina Watley looked great in this very detailed bodice of a dress with a full black skirt.

NY Knicks star Amar'e Soudemire, who plans to come back from injury in Game 3 later this week, attended in a dapper Calvin Kelin suit with a burgundy jacket full of sheen.  Loves it.  And his wife Alexis makes pregnancy look ridiculously fabulous as she rocks a frock full of feathers by Giambattista Valli.  Gorgeous.

The twosome took pics with Taylor Swift and teammate Tyson Chandler's wife, Kimberly.

And rounding out the athletes, Tiger Woods and his new chick, pro ski racer Lindsay Vonn, made their red carpet debut tonight.  No risks taken here, but the white gown is pretty.

Jennifer Lopez got catty in this stunningly glam Michael Kors gown.  Very unexpected look by the all American designer, but the risk paid off because Jenny looks amazing.  As usual, the cheetah style nude and black print dress looks painted on.  And she's freaking flawless.

Oh hey Andre Leon Tally!  

Get it with those pink socks!

Miguel made his way to his first MET Ball Monday night.

Model Tyson Beckford loves himself a bright colors and a bold print.  His pink camo Alexander Nash dinner jacket is FAB.

And Eve made her way into the high brow event looking absolutely stunning in leather and lace.  Nice to see hip hop getting some love from the fashion crowd.

Fun and Fab Times had by all!
