Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Met Men

To celebrate the new ‘Punk: Chaos to Couture’ exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, some of the biggest celebs walked down the red carpet. In honour of the exhibit, many of the men chose to give their formal looks a bit of punk inspiration, which made for an exciting menswear event.

Eddie Redmayne: The red carpet phenom added another beautiful look to his collection, wearing a Dior Homme navy-blue wool tuxedo with black grosgrain peak lapels. As always, it fit just right. To finish it off, Eddie added a white cotton shirt, a black satin bow tie, a white pocket square, and black patent-leather derbies.

Frank Ocean: In a Givenchy black tuxedo, Frank looked incredibly dapper for the event. His two-button notch-lapel tux fit well and he paired it classically with a white shirt and black bow tie. To give the outfit a little kick of punk, Frank opted for shoes with silver studs going around the soles – a very cool addition.

Joshua Jackson: I’ve never been OK with wearing a red tie to a red carpet event. It’s cheesy. I don’t like that aspect of his outfit, but I love the beige linen lapels on his Dior Homme black suit. Even though it’s a small detail on his jacket, it made for a stylish look. Joshua topped it off with a white cotton shirt and a Chanel ‘J12 Black Matte Ceramic’ watch.

Met Gala 2013

Here is a roundup of the rest of the ladies who took to the red carpet for the 2013 Met Gala on Monday evening. Models @ The Met post will follow.

Brooklyn Decker: The actress wore a custom Peter Pilotto look inspired by the Spring 2013 collection. While the look is custom I feel like I have seen this look several times before, so there is nothing fresh or new about it, unlike other custom looks as showcased by Karolina Kurkova and several others. Her Sergio Rossi ‘Hypnos’ sandals, however, are a work of art.

Alicia Keys: The singer took to the red carpet wearing a custom Jason Wu gown. Her black leather and bordeaux sequin embroidered halter gown is beautiful, but I wish Alicia had pushed the punk vibe with the styling a bit more; the red streaks in her hair aren’t enough for me, especially when we know Alicia isn’t afraid of taking a fashion risk. Robert Lee Morris jewels and a vintage clutch completed her look.

Maggie Gyllenhaal: The actress wore a beautiful custom Calvin Klein scarlet gown for the occasion which was punked up as far as she would go with a studded choker and a Tod’s black studded clutch with a gold frame. While I do love this look, I wish Maggie had gone bra shopping before this event.

Katie Holmes In Calvin Klein Collection - 2013 Met Gala

Katie Holmes looked very graceful when she stepped out onto the red carpet for Monday night’s 2013 Met Gala in New York City.

While there isn’t much punk rock going on with her custom Calvin Klein Collection creation styled with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and white sandals, the brunette beauty did opt for a slicked back bouffant and smoky eyes.

Her ivory halter gown with a flowing train is Katie at her best, but does the fact that it isn’t really on theme lose her style points?

Alexander Skarsgard In Calvin Klein - ‘What Maisie Knew’ New York Screening

Prepare to swoon as Alexander Skarsgard joined Julianne Moore on the red carpet at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema in New York City on Thursday evening for the ‘What Maisie Knew’ screening.

The actor wore a Calvin Klein black wool two-button notch lapel suit with a charcoal dress shirt and black shoes from the Spring 2013 collection, designed by Italo Zucchelli, the brands’ Men’s Creative Director.

Pushing his good looks to the side momentarily; the suit is a perfect fit – a surprising rarity.

If I was being picky I would say he could’ve undone one more button on his shirt à la Chris Hemsworth to set pulses really racing.

As the current face of the brand, he is serving them very well.

Rita Ora Baselworld 2013

After Dubai, Rita Ora’s next stop was Basel, Switzerland for the Calvin Klein watches and jewelry event hosted during Baselworld 2013, the largest watch and jewelry fair.

The singer arrived wearing a black-and-white Calvin Klein look, sans wig, consisting of a black leather v-neck top, baggy black pants, a white jacket and Calvin Klein white sandals.

She later performed wearing another full Calvin Klein look, which included a blush long-sleeved crop top, a matching maxi skirt, platform sandals and, of course, a Calvin Klein watch and jewels for both looks.

While some of us will never get some of her style choices, anything is an improvement on her previous look.

Both looks are a huge improvement, but what I am most thankful for here is that she opted to ditch the wig.
