Met Gala 2013 - Punk Style

So this year's Met Gala in New York, hosted by Beyoncé, was supposedly 'Punk' themed. Considering what an important and influential period  in fashion it was, some stars didn't embrace it as well as they could have! Nevertheless, the ball was one of the finest displays of evening dresses with some of my favourite designers both designing for, and attending, the event - Marchesa, Zac Posen, Givenchy etc. Below are a few of my favourite dresses from the ball:

Beyoncé, this year's host was dressed in a Givenchy flame skirt, corset and studded belt. I absolutely loved the look of the corset and skirt but definitely thought the matching boots were a step too far!

Sienna Miller tastefully embraced the Punk theme and her studded jacket over the white Burberry dress was the perfect combination of biker and flowing maxi dress to create a perfect look for the event.

Sarah Jessica Parker's Giles Deacon dress and Philip Treacy headpiece was definitely a Punk statement. She could definitely pull the look off and the print of the dress was absolutely beautiful, however, like with Beyoncé, I think the tartan knee high boots were slightly too much.

Although not exactly 'Punk', Carey Mulligan's Balenciaga dress was stunning. Understated and simple, the LBD was flattering and classy, and, paired with the Tiffany jewellery, created the perfect cocktail look.

Blake Lively's Gucci Premiere dress was another of my favourites, the strapless dress with feathered embroidery was beautiful and her sleek updo complimented the complicated dress perfectly.

Cameron Diaz's cobalt blue Stella McCartney dress was a nice change from all the monochrome and the contrast of the draped cape and the fitted dress created a beautiful silhouette for the actress.

Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig of my favourite design house, Marchesa, were both wearing dresses from their own label, and definitely did not disappoint. Embracing the 'Punk' theme with heavy eyeliner, the pair went for monochrome, Georgina in a short, white, feathered dress, and Keren in a floor length, black, lace gown. There is no doubt that Marchesa is the perfect evening dress label!
