the met's patterns + long sleeves

Here are my four favorite looks from the Met Ball. Patterns, patterns, patterns! I think wearing a patterned dress is very risky but these ladies pulled it off perfectly. I have always loved a formal dress that has a different look to it. Emma Stone's floral Lanvin dress kind of reminds me of the dress I wore to my 6th grade dance....of course I wasn't as glamorous as she looks here, with those amazing blue earrings and perfect pink lips.

And how can you not love Michelle William's Miu Miu birds with her pixie blond hair. Sophisticated and adorable!

I have really liked all of the long sleeved dresses that the Hollywood ladies have been wearing. Diane Kruger looks very L.A. noir in her Jason Wu ensemble. I read that her hand embroidered top took 500 hours to make! 

It is no surprise that Renee Zellweger's Carolina Herrera dress is my absolute favorite of the night. The train, the sleeves, the open back, the color, the sparkle! What a perfect dress.
