sarah burton in alexander mcqueen....
don't love this but i'm sure she was exhausted after the royal wedding and getting ready for this so i'm sure she just wanted to be comfortable. still love her!

florence welch in yves saint laurent and my husband stefano pilati.....

such a beautiful couple

livia giuggioli and husband colin firth
they are always so elegant


cara delevingne and douglas booth
what a cute couple!


surprisingly i liked
madonna in stella mcartney
while i don't love the dress so much it looks fab on her & the color is amazing
plus she doesn't look like she's wearing her daughters clothes!


jennifer lopez in gucci
again, the color is so amazing on her and i think she looks fantastic



so wrong
blake lively in chanel haute couture with karl lagerfeld.
wtf?? everything about her look is wrong


miranda kerr in marchesa
i just can't


iman in stella mccartney
okay, iman looks stunning but a gold sparkly jumpsuit?  no.


rihanna in stella mcartney
the mermaid hair, the mermaid dress, the shoes - it's all wrong for me.


naomi campbell in alexander mcqueen
this dress is amazing but the way she is wearing it is so wrong. the formal hair and jewelry ruined this for me. i also think this needed to be on someone much smaller.


frieda pinto in chanel
she's such a gorgeous girl but this is doing nothing for her.


my biggest complaint about going through all the photos from the event was that alot of the guests did not seem to get the theme of the night - savage beauty. i understand that alot of the mcqueen pieces were exhibited and unavailable but at least dress in the spirit of mcqueen.  so many of the celebrities just looked blah. safe and blah.  i wish they would just walk away from the stylists and choose something for themselves, i mean lea michele wore escada!  why?  such an opportunity to wear some fantastic creation.....so wasted. my favorites of the night were leelee sobieski, karolina kurkova, christina ricci & florence welch & ashley olsen. still it's fun to look at everyone all dressed up!
