The Annual Met Gala Red Carpet Report

 

The annual star-studded Met Gala took place in New York City last night. From movie stars to models, everyone who was anyone seemed to make an appearance. With the theme of last night’s event being “Punk: Chaos to Couture”, we were sure to get an eyeful of some interesting ensembles. While some stars decided to tame down the “punk” theme, others went all out. Either way, we loved looking at some of the recurring trends from last night and thinking about how to carry those over to our designer swimwear.

 

 

One of our favorite looks of the night had to have been Miranda Kerr. While it’s true, Kerr looks amazing in just about anything she wears, she really pulled off her Michael Kors dress with ease and sophistication. The cutout trend seems to be huge for this current season. Whether you choose to rock that trend with a monokini like Love Bound or Drive Me Wild, you’ll be sure to nail it. Another trend Kerr is implying? The bandeau! Bandeau’s layered under cutout t-shirts or blouses are a great way to add some extra color or sparkle to your look. Fun bandeau‘s like Paradise and Heartless 2013 are great options to use when layering your look.

 

 

Another favorite of ours was Jessica Alba, who wore a gorgeous Tory Burch dress. The dress was leather and featured smaller, feminine cutouts as well as two larger, and more bold cutouts. We loved the overall effect of the pattern, similar to the Sipping Pretty bikini and monokini. Leather is also huge for this season, which is one of the many reasons we love the leather accents on luxury swimwear such as Drive Me Wild, Crazy For You, and Call On Me.

 

 

Being a punk theme, the color of choice seemed to be black (for obvious reasons). Black is a great, classic color. Jennifer Lawrence’s dress took classic to the next level. Her Christian Dior dress paid great homage to Old Hollywood starlets, while the color added to the “punk” feel. Black is always a great option, especially when it comes to your designer swimwear. Choices like Pretty Young Thing and Truly, Madly, Deeply are great staples to have in your wardrobe.

 

Who were some of your favorites from the Gala last night?

Get Jessica Alba’s Street-Chic Looks with Lady Lux

 

Jessica Alba is a style icon. Here at Lady Lux, we love everything about her- from her perfectly toned abs, to her cute bikinis (that she’s so often photographed in), to her style around town. We not only wanted to show you how to mimic her beach style, but more importantly- her everyday casual style. She nails trends so often, it’s easy to mimic those trends with your very own designer swimwear. There were so many looks to choose from, but we managed to narrow it down to only a few for you.

 

 

Our first look of Jessica’s highlights some of our favorite trends for spring- florals and bright colors. Her look is effortless and basic. The bright turquoise color of her shirt is so reminiscent of the Paradise bandeau from Lady Lux. When paired with some other bright accessories and (most importantly) a floral beach tote- you’ll be ready to hit the beach in style. Jessica’s Kate Spade bag is to die for, but there are many other similar options out there! Just remember to keep it casual- like Jessica!

 

 

Our second favorite look is definitely a more summery-style look, perfect for hitting the beach. Jessica nails the “beach boho” style with a purple/pink printed cover-up, a fringed bag, and a cool hat. The color palette is so similar to the Crazy For You bikini, which also has a fun boho print. A light tan leather beach tote would be great to complete your look- just make sure it has some fringe like Jessica’s! It will round out your beach boho style!

 

 

Our last look of Jessica’s is a bit more basic- with a neutral color palette (unlike the first two looks). The part of this look that stood out to us, however, was the pop of color she did with her bag. This style is so easy to carry over to your luxury swimwear. Using Lady Lux‘s Sipping Pretty bikini, you can easily throw a black cover-up over and add a fun, bright tote. We love the combination of neutrals with red, but any color can work. Sipping Pretty has a similar pattern to Jessica’s shirt too! Accessorize with some funky sunglasses like Jessica’s and you’ll be sure to stop traffic!
