{ Fashion's Biggest Night }

Every year we look forward to the Met Ball.  Also known as Fashion's biggest night, The Met Ball celebrates the annual opening of the Metropolitan Museum's fashion exhibit at the Costume Institute. Each year, there is a specific theme. This year's theme of “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations," explored the similarities between Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada. Vogue’s own Anna Wintour not only oversees the event, but is responsible for the star studded guest list, which collectively raised their largest amount with $11 million for the Costume Institute!  Here are some of my favorites this year…in my opinion I think the models out beat the movie/tv stars with their riskier looks.  Isn't that what fashion is all about?

Nina Dobrev glowed on the red carpet in Donna Karan Atelier

Diane Kruger was one of my favorite’s last year in Jason Wu. This year she looked effortless and chic in her purple Prada, light makeup and undone hair.

There was a lot of black on the red carpet this year which was unusual, but Rooney Mara looked romantically edgy in Givenchy // Although stunning, we weren't sold on this Marchesa gown on Sofia Vergara // Marion Cotillard also landed up on many worst dressed lists but I think she looks great in her Dior gown. 

Karolina Kurkova took a huge risk and wore something really outside the box and I think it paid off! The Met is one of the only places you could really get away with something like this. She is wearing Rachel Zoe Collection // Chanel Iman looked amazing in Tom Ford although I’ve been reading on some blogs that she’s on their worst dressed list... // Jessica Stam also took a fashion risk in John Galliano for Christian Dior Haute Couture.
