Julianne Moore In Balenciaga – 2013 Met Gala

Never one to blend in, Julianne Moore stood out in a forest green frock in a sea of black and pink at Monday’s Met Gala in New York.

Draped in Balenciaga, Julianne’s dress was simplistic and artistic with origami fold details along the bust and waist.

Paired with monochromatic earrings by Irene Neuwirth and heels, the actress looked fashion forward in the rich colour.

One of my favourite parts to the entire look? Julianne’s fun and totally on-theme hair. Her red strands teased into a faux hawk with slicked back sides was as chic as it was punk.

A major red carpet thumbs up for Julianne.

Sienna Miller In Burberry – 2013 Met Gala

Sienna Miller paid homage to both the age of punk and her British roots in Burberry at Monday’s Met Gala at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The actress took the punk theme quite literally with a white-hot gown topped with a gold-studdeded cropped leather jacket.

Sienna’s wavy, slightly bedhead-like hair was elevated to a more ‘done’ place with a spiked headband that matched her ear cuff.

Overall, I’m a big fan of Sienna’s look, though I do wish it were a bit more punk-glam for the major annual gala.

Do you think Sienna had the best punk style of the night?

Emily Blunt In Carolina Herrera – 2013 Met Gala

Emily Blunt went the route of all black for Monday’s punk-themed Met Gala in New York.

The actress wore a gown by Carolina Herrera.

The all black-ensemble proved it’s all in the details with a slit, key hole cutout, and buttons down the front of the dress.

Emily kept her makeup simple aside from a swipe of hot pink on her eyelids and a braided topknot style for her locks.

I’m a big fan of Emily’s sartorial choices but this look is not my favorite. I imagine Met Gala styles to be more exciting and over the top than this beautiful, but simple design.

Do you like Emily’s Met Gala style?

Michelle Dockery In Burberry – 2013 Met Gala

Michelle Dockery walked the famous red carpet stairs at the Met Gala in New York on Monday.

The ‘Downton Abbey’ actress wore a Burberry sheath dress.

I love this look: the inky hue and croc-embossed texture is perfection in a classic cut and topped with a mega statement necklace.

While it doesn’t read ‘punk’ to me at all, it’s one of my top styles of the night. Classic-meets-edgy, and all around beutiful.

Where do you stand? Yay or nay?

Kate Beckinsale In Alberta Ferretti – 2013 Met Gala

Kate Beckinsale took to the red carpet Monday night to support the Metropolitan Museum of Art at its annual Met Gala in New York.

The actress wore a pink frock from Alberta Ferretti with an Edie Parker clutch.

Wearing pink, the unofficial colour of the evening, Kate looked fantastic in a strapless, asymetrical, high-low dress.

Kate added punk accents via strappy shoes, and statement gold and silver geometric earrings and a matching ring.

And of course, we can’t forget her sexy meets sophisticated meets undone slept-in-my-makeup smokey eye that paired so well with her volume-injected mohwak.

Sofia Coppola in Marc Jacobs – 2013 Met Gala

‘PUNK: Chaos to Couture,’ the theme to Monday’s Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is all about paying homage to a time when people went against the establishment.

Sofia Coppola did just that when she graced the red carpet in a pajama-inspired design from Marc Jacobs Fall 2013. A decidedly non-punk look, Sofia took the anti-establishment theme to heart by opting out of the theme completely.

I do love Sofia’s look–the cut is simple, the style is flattering, and the silvery-grey colour is beautiful–but I wish she had gone just a little bit punk.

Sofia rounded out her laid back look with delicate heels, a black clutch, and barely there makeup.

I personally would have paired this red carpet look with a very dark berry lip colour for a flash of punky glamour. Do you agree?
