Red Carpet Fashion: Met Gala 2013 (Part 1)

Tonight was my absolute favorite event of the year [that I don’t attend because it’s $25,000 a ticket and I’m not famous] — the Met Gala. Saying it’s the Oscars is fashion is an understatement. When you’re typically used to seeing strapless sparkly gowns on the red carpet (#boring), this event has anything but. This year was especially exciting with the whole punk theme (which we already discussed last week) so I decided to do my red carpet posts a little differently this time. Be looking out for part 2 coming soon, as well as a “best punk,” “almost punk,” and “not so punk” posts. Getting a little ambitious with 5 posts but I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing them. If not, please lie in the comments section.

So I hope you’re ready for some serious red carpet commentary, because here it goes.

Street Where

Streetwear…street where? Confused? Me too. Let’s continue.

It seems as of late that streetwear has become somewhat of a trend. Varsity jackets, sneakers, flat brim hats…you know you’ve seen that all over the street style blogs. What I find most interesting is that this is a trend I’ve seen in the streets but not so much on the runways. So where exactly did it come from? ChiCityFashion investigates.

After Parties Are Where It’s At

Typically, I only do a couple of red carpet posts when it comes to the Oscars (which if you haven’t checked it out yet, parts one and two are waiting for you) but because this year was pretty disappointing, I thought I’d take a look at the after party dresses. And good thing I did because they are a million times better than what most people wore to the actual ceremony. Whether it’s Elton John’s or Vanity Fair, there’s a ton of parties that go on after the Oscars and thankfully this year, celebs really brought it. Well, most of them…
