Met Ball 2013

The Costume Institute Ball 2013 has finally arrived! This annual occasion celebrates the opening of the Metropolitan Museum's fashion exhibit. The very special red carpet event is attended by many celebrities ready to dress to impress. The attendee's were asked to dress Punk this year, so I couldn't resist to check out this latest fashion trend walking the walk!

The 4 W's - Who Was Wearing What?

Sienna Miller (English Actress / Model / Fashion Designer)

Sienna embraced the on trend spike look (picture on the right). She mixed the elegant and punk chic by wearing a spike leather jacket over the top of her flowing white long dress. This brilliant idea makes the leather jacket wearable to a high profile event like the Met Ball.
She teamed the leather jacket up with a spiked hair accessory which I personally LOVE! The hair accessory has only got spikes half way which gives it that unique 'Recktro' look and gives Sienna the advantage of sweeping her hair to the side to give her more of a punk chic edge.

Olivia Wilde (American Actress)

Olivia attempted the punk bondage look (picture above). Even though the dress isn't the typical punk look, it still has an edge due to it being a bandeau dress. This style reminds me of the ripped t shirt punk era. She also wore stacked bracelets; a combination of chained and cord bracelets. I LOVE THIS!! This 'Recktro' edgy look is wearable anywhere from an event like the Met Ball to the beach.

Madonna (American Singer Songwriter)

Madonna took the theme in her stride by wearing many iconic punk styles (picture on the right). Spikes and studs were seen on her jacket and belt. This spike trend has now made it's own comeback this year and are seen on jewellery, bags, purses, jackets and many more items. All you 'Recktro' lovers will know I am mad on spike jewellery and I am now looking into making new items including this trend which I can't wait to share with you all soon! 

Madonna is also wearing the iconic punk tartan pattern jacket including chains which I LOVE as this gives her a unique punk look, as most of the other attendees wore punked dress/play suits.

I feel soon as she has embraced everything punk; she should have worn some heavy boots like Dr Martens. I think that this would have completed the outfit perfectly.

This is just a glimpse of the Met Ball 2013 and which celebrities/outfits stood out to me.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Punk look which will be the trend of Summer 2013 :)
