MET BALL 2013 - WHITE HOT TREND

It's been a while girls and boys but the call of the 2013 MET Ball was all too much so let's get down to business. With a "punk" theme this year I had high hopes for some very intriguing looks but for the most part it seems "couture punk" is quite demure. Who would have guessed right? Having said that, there were still some great looks to behold... here are some...

White hot was the biggest trend of the night. The quietly beautiful Rooney Mara (who also co-chaired the event) stepped out in a divine Givenchy creation. Her naturally pale skin, signature deep lip and the zippers add edge to this look. One of my faves of the night this girl hardly ever gets it wrong!

 

 Nicole Richie followed the trend in head to toe white, literally! I love the cheek of the white hair with the otherwise demure column gown. Not punk per say but definitely a head turner, Nicole rocks!

 

 

Olivia Wilde rocked in a beautiful strapless column white gown with dangerous cutouts and a belt detail. The dress hugs her figure superbly I just wished she amped up her makeup with a bold lip or dark mysterious eye.

 

 

Sienna Miller followed suit with her simple white gown choosing to throw her hair over to one side a la "90"s punk rock style. This girl knows her punk, adding a spiked headband and heavily spiked leather jacket she looks like she's having a whole lotta fun!

 

 

Katie Holmes was a vision in white. There was a subtlety to her look with a ripped detail on her train, khol rimmed eyes and a pompadour.

 

 

 

Enjoy!

What's the GoS - Katie Holmes First Face of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics

We were quite intrigued to hear the announcement that Katie Holmes would be the first ever celebrity face of  Bobbi Brown cosmetics.

Having launched the label in 1991 the line was snapped up by Estee Lauder a short four years later because it is just that good!. In our humble opinion Bobbi Brown was one of the leading labels that was accessible to the wider public that actually catered to the coloration of the wider public. One of the reasons it never really needed a celebrity face to bring it to the forefront.

In a statement about Katies new appointment Bobbi Brown said - “Katie Holmes epitomizes the modern ‘Bobbi woman’… I think of her as the modern day Ali McGraw, who I have always admired,” says Bobbi Brown, “Katie is a classic natural beauty, entrepreneur, and mother. When I met her, I thought she was a natural fit for my brand, and felt an instant connection with her because we have so much in common.”

We have to agree wholeheartedly with Bobbi. Katie is a natural beauty and comes across as a hardworking mum, something that resonates with modern women across the globe. Her recent step away from Tom Cruise has shown she is capable, assertive and strong, fitting in perfectly with their catch phrase "pretty powerful".

Visually Katie is effortlessly pretty and her minimalist make up allows that natural beauty to shine through. We think Katie is the perfect ambassador for a brand that focusses on individual beauty. We look forward to seeing how we can all recreate that effortless beauty.

Enjoy!
