Whose Makeup Smoldered Most At The MET Gala?

While this year's MET Gala seemed relatively more tame than the last in terms of imaginative (and in some guests' cases, disastrous) fashion, last Monday's ball still served as an outlet for celebrities of all kinds to sparkle and shine in their evening wear. However, as a beauty fiend I couldn't help but focus more on the guests' makeup and hair as they romped the red carpet, and while none were particularly innovative, wild, or GaGa-esque, I was pretty surprised at the variety of beauty looks across the board. Some celebs opted to tone it down like Sarah Jessica Parker, who boasted a summer glow in shimmery bronze and neutral hues, and Jessica Biel, who kept it earthy with plum cheeks and berry lipstick. On the other side of the spectrum, Jennifer Lopez went for the classic smokey eye look which complemented her untamed updo, while Sienna Miller focused only on her top lashline for a half-smoldering look that made her blue eyes pop. And of course Camilla Belle looked gorgeous as always, this time rocking a vintage-inspired Old Hollywood look with dramatic cat-eye liner that balanced her bold brows.

Bag Of The Week: Ports 1961 Envelope Clutch

The one thing I regret missing at New York Fashion Week was the Ports 1961 show. Granted, it was my first day at the tents and it took me a good 20 minutes to find the check-in tent. Not all was lost though as I did get to watch the live stream in the lobby. Launched in 2004, the relatively new brand already has a strong celebrity including Olivia Palermo, Debra Messing, and Sienna Miller. The structural influences on the clothes can be found in their accessories too. At first glance, the Envelope Clutch looks like a piece of origami, but the clever design reveals much more. The clutch can act as a bold statement piece despite the neutral color if you're going to a lunch meeting or hold all your essentials when you're spending the night on the town. The leather clutch has open sides but before you think all your valuables will fall out, there's a zippered organza pouch inside to hold everything safely.
