Bardot-inspired Shoot
Brigitte Bardot is one of my favorite style icons of all time. There is even a piece of Hale Jewelry named after her, the Brigitte Harness. I found this Bardot-inspired editorial for Avant Garde Magazine. How amazing would some Hale look on this style?

Met Gala 2011
I love the Met Gala because Hollywood and the fashion world collide to create a ridiculous magic show through ballgowns, shoes, and accessories. I appreciate how there is this understanding that the more costume-like a dress is, the better. While I am generally into the "sexy but still classy" look, for this event, I chose my 6 favorites regardless of the "look" they were going for. I devour the "demand" for a costume-like dress for this event and found, what I believe, were the most gorgeous pieces of the night.
1. Diane Kruger - Jason Wu dress. This is so chic, beautiful, and sexy that it has put Diane Kruger on my radar. The only thing I know about her is her role (which did was great at) in Inglorious Bastards. I now want to know more about her, what she wears, etc. I love the cinched waistline, the ultra-daring thigh high slit, the long sleeves, and the color combination of nude sparkles and deep black. I think the shoes and jewelry compliment the dress perfectly.
2. Emma Stone - Lanvin dress. Can we all just take a moment to applaud Emma? Man, this girl has gone from a wallflower to a starlet in the matter of months. Blonde is a great look on her and whoever her stylist is... MAJOR KUDOS. More often than not, I hate floral patterns on dresses... but I dare someone to disagree with me when I say this one just works. Now if Dakota Fanning could just move herself out of the background, we'd be set!
3. Beyonce - Pucci dress. Those who know me know I am not into gaudy or super embellished pieces, but I adore this dress! It is so creatively over-the-top but still so elegant. I love the mermaid style, the keyhole cut in the chest, and the neckline. Only someone like Beyonce, who has beautiful curves, could pull this dress off. The earrings paired with a clean bun make this one of my favorites of the night.
4. Michelle Williams - Miu Miu dress. Michelle usually ends up on my worst dressed list, but I have to give her mad credit for this dress. No, it wouldn't work at the Oscars, SAG Awards, or any other of the 100 awards shows, but for the Met Gala, it fits. The flowy nature of the dress, the sequined birds, fitted waist, open sleeves, and a small train make this dress a winner in my book.
5. Ashley Olsen - Vintage Dior dress. Many might say that the sleeves are ridiculous on this dress, but those very sleeves are what sparked my interest in this gown. It's a very simple silhouette with a straight neckline and side slit, but what really adds character to the sophisticated bodice are the puffy sleeves. They really give the vintage Dior feel and I just love that about this look!
6. Emma Roberts - Michael Kors dress. Since Emma Roberts, niece of Julia Roberts, stepped into the limelight at a young age, she has been able to transform from a young cutesy teenager to a classy, stylish young-adult. I am a huge fan of what Michael Kors creates - I always like his sleek style when it comes to awards show dresses. And what do you know... he's done it again! The cutouts, the color block, and the one-shoulder make this dress a gorgeous hit. The best part about this look is that Emma may be all but 20 years old, but the look is ageless and timeless.
