It's arguably the biggest fashion night of the year – a time when
the great and good of the fashion world get together to celebrate the world of
fashion. Every year the Costume
Institute Gala at the Met (or the Met Ball as it is also known) picks a theme
to celebrate and this year it was all about punk.
Never one to miss an opportunity to see what the celebs are
wearing, at MizEllie we have spent the last few days looking through some of
the hits and misses (Kim Kardashian we are looking at you here) of the Met
ball. And while there were some loose,
to say least, interpretations of the punk theme, as always fashions finest put
on a great show. So what can we learn from fashion's big night out?
Sometimes
more is more
If there is one person who always likes to go the extra mile with
her fashion sense it has to be pop princess Katy Perry who once again wowed
with her bling style.
She turned up to the Met Ball wearing a crown – and not just any crown, she wore a headpiece suitable for the Tudor court itself. Her earrings were massive gold crosses – inspired by a catwalk trend where earrings for women certainly made a statement – a trend Ms Perry certainly followed!

Meanwhile, Sex and the City star and ultimate fashionista Sarah
Jessica Parker took the punk theme to heart wearing a Giles Deacan ball gown,
tartan over-the knee boots and even a bejewelled Philip Treacy Mohican
headpiece.
Safety
pins and studs can still look high fashion
The punk theme meant that a number of stars decided to pay homage
to some of its most iconic looks – studs and safety pins but of course with a
high fashion twist.
Designer Donatella Versace had studded shoulders and wore a
studded cuff with her gown, while model of the moment Cara Delavigne wore a
stunning V-neck Burberry gown with studded details on the top. Stacey Keibler
showed how to do sexy punk with her studded Rachel Roy mini dress.
Meanwhile Carey Mulligan, star of the Great Gatsby, accessorised
her gorgeous Balenciaga cocktail dress with chic safety pin jewellery and Zooey
Deschanel carried a kooky clutch bag with a safety pin motif.
And another big punk motif from the night was the number of
crosses seen on display. From pendant necklaces seen on the likes of Mary-Kate
Olsen, to earrings seen on Katy Perry and Emilia Clarke, the cross motif
alongside safety pins and studs added a punk twist to high fashion. So while
there were very few true punk fashions through the use of jewellery and
accessories there were a number of high fashion homages paid to the fashion
movement.
