“The MET Gala is one of the places where more trends are generated. It is more controversial than other red carpets. I love it. In addition, the theme of Karl Lagerfeld intrigues me since I deeply admire him”, highlighted Benito Fernández in the first place.

Maureene Dinar pondered on Dua Lipa’s look. “A spectacular ecru dress with a Gina neckline, because it was voluminous with a braid on the cutout and on the Channel neckline.”

For his part, Benito Fernández contributed: “Divina Dua Lipa. I love the texture. The corset is a trend that is hitting again, especially in music. It had stopped being used and young singers are making it fashionable and putting it in haute couture is great. She is divine with makeup and hair; perfect”.

“Spectacular Dua lipa dress. Classic period dress with volume and excellent corsetry, divine. Although as a fashion icon and based on the Lagerfeld emblem, he would have preferred a little more design. Incredible tribute by Chanel house. Score: 8″, added Patricia Profumo.

“I like that Penelope has risked something like that. She is very cute what she has. The neck that she makes as a hood, the cut. Perhaps the skirt would have made it more languid or with more flight and tail. I like that she takes risks because she generates trends, ”Fernández said about the choice of Penélope Cruz.

Meanwhile, Dinar said: “Fully embroidered bustier with the skirt with volume lace underneath and embroidered lace, good cut with a neckline where the hood comes out that remains as a slope, embroidered belt and embroidered lace around the veil.”

In turn, Profumo pointed out: “Spectacular Penelope. With an antique, baroque and gypsy look to accompany this long-awaited design and glamor rug. High corsetry that he knew how to accompany in white and silver. Divine, although I am not enough to dazzle”.

Lage maintained: “Very seen dress lines, but a line that is being seen on the European catwalks, respecting the leit motive of these catwalks. I don’t see much work except an off-the-shoulder neckline with an amazing floral overlay. But other than that, I’m not looking at exotic luxury.”

Regarding the looks of Anna Wintour and Bill Nighy, Fernández considered: “I think Anna is correct. She always with her style. Perhaps for this gala I would have played a little more. I love it. It seems to me that she always gives the touch of elegance and distinction. I like the silhouette with that cover up more of the street or street and below the skirt more at night and haute couture”.

While Profumo added: “Spectacular high-heeled dress ready to wear Completely embroidered in crystals to match the print, but honestly I would have liked the dress to be completely long. But not a knee-length dress and then a white tubular skirt underneath. A 6 for her Anna”.

On the look of Rita Ora, Fernández contributed: “I love it. A bomb. Divine. I like the dress, the accessories. The total look seems the best so far. Perfect”.

In turn, Profumo said: “I really liked the dress and accompanied by the chiffon trailing cape, the look with very daring transparencies was very fun. Good choice of black and in keeping with the dress code chosen for this gala, although it seemed excessive and not in keeping with the detail of the bracelets with glitter in each detail, since that detail weakens the rest of the look, completely unnecessary, a 7 points for her”.

Regarding Chloe Fineman’s look, Profumo noted: “Exquisite with that spectacular suit. Impeccable with her pink cat clutch and mittens. Incredible to highlight the work of roses in the fabric of her neckline and we must highlight her footwear completely in accordance with her look. I must admit that I would have liked a fully long tubular skirt, or with a slit but not a midi length for this important and significant gala for design and glamour. 8 points for her.

Fernández opined: “I like the combination of colors. I don’t like the total look: the hair, the bag, the shoes. It is not one of the looks that I like the most”.

In relation to Nicole Kidman and her time on the MET carpet, Lage analyzed: “Nicole Kidman’s work with encrusted pearls, hand-glued feathers and if I don’t look bad, even a ribbon of turcillos through the entire dress that is wonderful, which is really impressive”.

Secondly, Profumo said: “One of the best dressed so far. Incredible haute couture suit in nude pink, with chiffon, excellent volume, delicate feathers and embroidery for an exemplary silhouette. A 10 for this goddess who has always accustomed us to glamor. With this outfit I would have liked an updo for her hair, but she really is splendid just the way she is ”.

Dinar observed Olivia Wilde’s look and stated: “Silk high-neck capita-type dress with a gold film in front open on the sides of the back and long mermaid-type skirt.”

“Divine white. I think it’s spectacular with that guitar cut attached to the music. Divine. I like make up, hair, styling and accessories. One of the ones I like the most,” said Fernández.

Meanwhile, Profumo added: “I loved the combination of white with gold. Slightly golden details, with bare waist, amazing high waisted dress. For it to be a gala, a little more drag was necessary for a 10, I had little flavor left “.

“Spectacular design and incredible choice of shade for her. Magnificent suit completely recharged with stones and artistic drawing that honors this gala. Amazing themed dress. In chocolate transparencies and completely embroidered in gold: a 10″, provided Profumo.

And Fernández indicated: “I don’t like the embroidered dress that much. It doesn’t seem so original to me. I do like how it looks on her and how she looks in the makeup, the hair and the color that shows her skin. But the dress does not seem so original to me.

“She is spectacular, the white looks divine on her. I love the cover up, the volume and the fact that you can see his silhouette below. She looks gorgeous and radiant. I love that it is exaggerated, which is what one expects in this type of rug”, Fernández commented on Giselle and her choice.

For his part, Profumo added: “Incredibly spectacular. A 10 for Giselle. With a suit with white elasticated vertical straps, a color that looks spectacular on her and she accompanies it with a mega cape in delicate feathers in the same tone that makes her one of the best dressed”.

On Grace Elizabeth, Lage elaborated: “A wonderful job, it is entirely done with bias cuts applied one to one over the other, with a wonderful job. It has strips, which makes it an incredible waste of fabric and then they are placed by hand forming that gradient of tones, prints. The work on that dress is wonderful, they have a lot of work”.

“I really like the back, the skirt and the volume it has. It’s like a more modern adaptation. Her dress seems divine to me and she is divine too, ”added Fernández.

And Profumo noted: “Dazzling dress. Impressive genre and particular since the choice of dress with volume striped in gradient is very risky. I don’t dislike it, but it is a dress that I would not have chosen for her at this gala. Perhaps the same dress in a plain tone, there the qualification according to Profumo would be different, it is enough for a 6″.
