09 Costume Institute Gala at the Met

The “Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion” Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City went down on Monday May 4th.

Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham both in Marc Jacobs, and Rihanna in Dolce & Gabanna all did IT for me. Vicky, her flawless face is enough, Kate was giving me Eartha Kitt (RIP), and Rih-Rih.... what more do I need to say?




And though it was a costume gala, Madonna, the material girl herself took it too far in my opinion, as did Leighton Meister (whom I love), both in Louis Vuitton.



As someone who watches The Devil Wears Prada every weekend (shh don't tell anybody), I know Anne Hathaway can do better. I thought her dress was too dark for her fair skin, and the hair, too big. But from far away it doesn't look too bad lol
I love Ashley Olsen's look, she rocked her own design, and the look definitely worked for her. Her sister Mary-Kate in Christian Lacroix, not so much. But I must keep in mind, it is a costume gala.





Blake Lively in Versace, I can't decide how I feel about this look. I love Blake, love the color of the dress and she looks fabulous, the cleavage was a bit much for me though. The girl gives great face and the color looked great on her.

Kelis Was Here

...well not here, here, but Marketing/PR Maven Tracy Nguyen, a good friend of Kelis', gives us the inside scoop on what the pop star has been up to since we haven't seen her in a while.

Nas let us know last month that his wife Kelis is expecting their first child, a boy, later this year and according to Tracy, Kelis graduated from culinary school last year and is now officially a chef. She also plans to open up a restaurant soon.

And as for Kelis' own bun in the oven, Tracy had this to say,

"She looks more gorgeous than ever with an UNBELIEVABLE glow, is in AMAZING shape (only signs of pregnancy is in her tummy) and she is so excited about the baby."

And because you can always count on Kelis for something Young, Fresh n' New, check her new do.
Love it!
