Since this year’s Met Gala is set for Monday, we can’t help but reflect on the past and all the delicious looks that the gala has produced over the years. From high-wattage couture creations to out-of-the-box risqué looks that may have taken some time to truly appreciate, fashion’s equivalent of the Oscars never disappoints. Think multicolored feathers, body armor-like metallics, borderline obsessive sheer accents and enough embellishments to shake a very stylish stick at. A few well-known fashion mavens scored multiple spots on this list for obvious reasons.

We’re sure everyone has their respective favorites, but there’s no denying that these stars made a sartorial impact. Scroll down to relive the Met Gala’s top style moments.

While we expect over-the-top looks at the Met Gala, attendees at the annual CFDA Fashion Awards tend to play it safe(r). But that didn’t stop Ashley Graham from stealing everybody’s thunder decked out in a structured-shoulder Christian Siriano black dress and matching hat.

Officially now a fashion icon, Jennifer Lopez showed off her abs in a bedazzled crop top and corresponding maxi skirt, both custom Ralph Lauren Collection. The Hadid sisters also turned heads with Gigi sporting a cornflower blue look from Louis Vuitton, while Bella went disco glam in Michael Kors Collection. (We also must give a shout-out to Ciara, who rocked a custom Vera Wang ensemble.)

The post All the Must-See Looks From the 2019 amfAR Gala Cannes appeared first on theFashionSpot.

Cannes is known for grand gowns and this year, celebrities really upped the stakes. From dresses so big they needed their own zip code to blinding bling in the form of necklaces, cuffs and earrings, there was so much to take in at every premiere. And there were plenty of structured silhouettes, especially when it came to jumpsuits. (We even spotted a pair of rompers on the red carpet.)

But the biggest star of this year’s festival was Elle Fanning. The youngest jury member in the event’s history, the actress really went for it each and every time she set foot on the red carpet. And we appreciate all the effort the 21-year-old put into her appearances.

In case you weren’t glued to your computer to check out all the premiere looks, we went ahead and put them together in one handy-dandy slideshow. You can thank us later.

The post 21 Questions With… Supermodel Karolina Kurkova appeared first on theFashionSpot.

It’s hard not to get excited when a new edition of Vogue enters the market. Over the past two years, we’ve witnessed the launch of Vogue Arabia and Vogue Poland — and this month marks the introduction of Vogue Czechoslovakia. Ever since Condé Nast announced the news of a Czechoslovakian Vogue edition early this year, our forums have speculated as to who might turn up on the cover — and as one would expect, the magazine went with a pretty obvious choice. Czech beauty Karolina Kurkova does the honors fronting the inaugural September 2018 issue, photographed by Branislav Simoncik and paying homage to former First Lady of Czechoslovakia Olga Havlova.

Our forum members couldn’t wait to weigh in. “This is pretentious, boring and just plain ugly,” complained RaisinBoy the moment the cover struck.

“So this is it? It’s a bit underwhelming,” added Srdjan.

“Oh wow, this is actual cringe,” said russianelf.

“I’m very underwhelmed, I originally thought this was a supplement cover before reading the description/explanation! When using a model like KK surely you’d use more than just her back?” asked Blayne266.

Also not into it was forum member Ken Doll Jenner: “I found the idea of the cover fascinating but one must be intrigued by the image first before reading the detailed explanation as to why a cover came to fruition. After all, a magazine cover needs to be able to show an image first and foremost, not a subtext.”

“Not a good start,” jal718 pointed out.

“Oh.. that’s it? Alright then… I was not expecting anything much anyway,” said ghostwriter10549.

Zacatecas570 won’t be in a rush to his local newsstand either. “This is just pretentious and ugly, for me is the worst cover EVER, what a waste of KK,” he slammed.

As expected, last night’s annual amfAR Gala Cannes was model central. While you had a handful of actresses (Kristen Stewart, Ruby Rose, Laura Harrier, etc.) and a singer or two or three (Ellie Goulding, Nicole Scherzinger, Teyana Taylor), it was wall-to-wall catwalkers at the benefit. So it wasn’t surprising to see lots of sheer gowns along with flashes of leg and cleavage. But quite a few stars opted to suit up with sets featuring everything from embellishments to zippers. Red was a hot hue and there were pops of blue, especially when it came to eye makeup.

Check out all the fashion highlights in the slideshow above.

While New York Fashion Week is in full swing, it’s probably a little too early to start honing in on trends. But there was a clear trend over at the annual Venice International Film Festival: feathers. A lot of attendees flocked to feathers, whether as simple accents or all-over plumage. Sheer paneling (sometimes layered) and floral appliqués were also popular. Superstars Jennifer Lawrence, George and Amal Clooney, Julianne Moore, Kirsten Dunst and Penélope Cruz shined bright, but the style standout of the festival was Rebecca Hall. The British actress served on the jury and impressed time and time again in stunning gowns that ranged from structured couture to Grecian goddess to Old Hollywood bombshell.

Check out the slideshow above for all the fashion highlights from the festival.
