The Met Ball Gala 2013 - The Colored, The Crazy and The Just Plain Bad

Color and crazy have a tendency to go hand in hand, but tonight the color was astounding...and so was the crazy. There were a few ladies who made sure that they walked the red carpet in full technicolor glory, and I applaud them for it...and then there were a few who were questionable. To be fair, I love Sarah Jessica's ensemble and look but it's got a little cray-cray in it too. (UPDATE: I bow down to SJP. Her headpiece made me faint with delight. She is the best of the night! But still crazy.)

The Met Ball Gala 2013 - White Hot Women & Black Beauties

At the Met Ball Gala tonight it was the creatures of the day -- the white ethereal beauties-- and the creatures of the night-- those black-clad vixens-- that had their moments. Few could say that the fashion tonight was subpar because almost all the women delivered in grand beauty and fierce fashion (not you Madonna). These ladies took the monochrome look to a whole new level and I love this little details that make them their own.  I have my favorites no doubt, but that's for a later post, my dears.
