The Met Ball 2014

The theme for this year's met ball was 'White Tie,' and if I'm honest, I think the the theme could have been a little bit more exciting. After last year's dramatic 'Punk' theme, I was expecting all the stars to pull out all the stops... some going a little too far. Whilst Kate Upton and Rita Ora stunned me beyond belief with their overly outrageous, and tragic outfits, I was pleasantly surprised by Victoria Beckham, for example, who showed up in one of her own gowns, displaying a simplistic, elegant and sophisticated look.



Nicole Richie wearing Donna Karan 
I've always been a big fan of Nicole Richie's style, and I love this look for the Met Ball, the velvet against the sheer fabric is very contemporary and gives off an edgy, almost gothic vibe which I think looks perfect with her tied back but slightly messy hair. Her minimal accessories and clutch bag are the perfect addition to the outfit.


Victoria Beckham wearing Victoria Beckham 
I've always had mixed feelings about what Victoria Beckham wears, however her latest collection has seriously won me over with her geometric, vibrant coloured bags and her classic silhouette dresses. This dress is one of my favourites from the ball as it is sleek, chic, classy, simplistic and stylish.


Reese Witherspoon wearing Stella McCartney
I'm still undecided about this look for Reese Witherspoon. Other than the colour obviously clashing with the red carpet, I love the corset type, dipped sweet neck style. I think it suits her figure incredibly and the fuchsia pink really stands out and is almost quite dramatic, and fits in well with the theme of the night. However, I'm not a huge fan of her hair and felt she would have suited a different colour.


Kate Bosworth wearing Stella McCartney 
I've always been a fan of Kate Bosworth's style as she combines boho, hippie chic with classic silhouettes and simple pieces. I love the peachy/salmon colour and the spaghetti straps as it is flattering on the shoulders and the cut outs on the waist give the dress a very contemporary look.
