Met Gala Trend Spotting

8.5.12

Dewy skin + lashes: Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara

Subtle smoky eye: Diana Agron  and Marion Cotillard (loved her entire look)

Burgundy lips: Camilla Belle and Kate Bosworth

Talking of which...Leighton Meester and Rachel Zoe were also sporting burgundy lips - with not quite as much success. I honestly don't wish to be mean, but Rachel looks like an extra from a bad 80s vampire film on the hunt for her next victim (and don't get me started on the dress). As for Leighton, she's normally a safe bet for this kind of thing, but she looks like she came out worse from a fight with a tin of Ronseal. Her dress really suited her, and she usually carries off a dark lip beautifully, but there's just too much going on for

What did you think of the outfits and makeup?

  2. Leighton looks way too tanned, the lip isn't flattering on her though she's a gorgeous girl. Dianna Agron is my favourite, her makeup is a bit hit and miss for me, but it was on point on this occasion.

  3. Leighton looks silly being that tanned with a dark lip, a paler complexion would have suited the look better. I loved Marion Cotillard's look too! xx

  4. I think the dewy skin and lashes is the most beautiful look. I just think it looks so flawless and lets the natural beauty shine through. Seriously going to try this xx :o)

  11. I was not so impressed with the dresses this year! My fave was probably Scarlett Johansson.

    I tried out plum lips here, would love to know what you think:

  15. leighton just looked too tan for that lippie. Its odd because normally she gets it so spot on, but her more natural, lighter skin would have looked stunning with it.

  17. I like burgundy lips but you're right... Rachel doesn't pull it off! Tbh, I just find her very dull haha, *ooooo fashion sinnerrrrr* xxx

  18. Unfortunately Burgundy lips are very ageing as they make the mouth look smaller. So if you are on the other side of 40 it's best to avoid it. I did the burgundy lip thang in 90's so I haven't missed out!
