The theme of last night’s event was punk–though you wouldn’t necessarily know it from the red carpet. Though some of the guests did step up the ‘tude a notch–some with spikes, others with hair dye–the majority kept it pretty, well, pretty. Let’s take a look at who was brave enough to go punk, and who Read more →
It’s here! It’s here! The Met Ball red carpet is finally underway. So the fashion is great–though not exactly punk. According to Anna Wintour, though, her florals are punk, in a way: Andrew Bolton, the currator of the exhibit told her that pink was the real color of punk. Hence the color scheme. So there.

“PUNK: Chaos to Couture,” the latest exhibit organized by Andrew Bolton for The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, opens to the public tomorrow. The press got a first look today. And I have a feeling reactions will be mixed. (The International Herald Tribune‘s Suzy Menkes already panned the exhibit for being too “sanitized and bloodless.”) Here’s why:
The Great Gatsby events weren’t the only happenings to draw a well-heeled crowd this week (though we’ve never seen so much perfect Prada in one place). For instance, Zoe Saldana’s killing her Star Trek press tour; Georgia Jagger reminded us how stylish she is at a Sunglass Hut event; and Emilia Clarke continued to prove us right in a lovely Dior number.

Last night’s red carpet at the New York premiere for The Great Gastby brought some industry heavy-hitters like Anna Wintour and Jenna Lyons, as well as the megawatt stars of the film like Carey Mulligan and Leonardo DiCaprio. Of course, they all brought their sartorial A-game. And Martha Stewart brought her gold sequin capris.
As spring began to bloom, this week’s best dressed ladies (and one gentleman) showed a little skin while keeping things tasteful. Jennifer Lawrence showed of a new ‘do and her shoulders in David Koma; Elle Fanning went high-drama in Lanvin; and Kiernan Shipka looked adorable yet grown up in Dolce.

To coincide with Costume Institute’s upcoming “Punk: Chaos to Couture” exhibit Moda Operandi has tapped 12 high fashion designers and brands to create a limited edition punk-inspired capsule collection–that’ll ring in at luxury price points no doubt.
Maybe you’re super organized and filed your taxes months ago. Maybe you’re a last minute kind of person (like some of us) and just filed them. Either way, you should have some money coming your way after a year of forking over your salary to taxes. According to the IRS (via CBS), the average tax return in 2012 was $2,899.
Sure, you can choose to be responsible with your newly-acquired dough: Pay off credit cards, save for your retirement… OR, you can do the fun thing and blow the entire check in one sitting. It’s totally possible–with FASHION! Designer price points have gotten so high that the price for one luxury item–a dress, a bag, a pair of shoes–is approximately the cost of the average tax return. Sad but true.
