Last night, A-listers and some not so A-listers, attended the 2013 Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year’s theme, Punk: From Chaos to Couture, was cause for celebrities to push the envelope and tap into their inner rocker chic with bold eye makeup, short hemlines, loud patterns, and hard and soft embellishments. As usual, there were a lot of hits and, of course, some major misses on the red carpet.
Just like last year, I bring you a roundup of the athletes and celebrities who represented the sports world. This year’s list included Mrs. Shawn Carter, Lala Anthony, Lindsey Vonn, Tiger Woods, and many more.

-
- For the third straight year, Beyonce wore a head turning Givenchy look. But unlike last year, this was a complete miss for me. Honestly, I don’t know where to begin. The leather strapless top, 1990s style belt, gold paisley printed skirt with matching gloves and thigh high boots were just doing way too much. Normally I’m all in favor of over the top looks, but this is taking it too far. I refuse to believe Beyonce woke up this morning, saw pictures of herself and thought, “I did that!” Refuse!
-
- And here’s the train, which looks like it’s being engulfed by flames.
-
- This is the kind of look I’d expect from this couple, boring. Tiger’s standard black tux is screaming to be tailored. Meanwhile, Lindsey’s white dress with two sheer panels was also a major disappointment. They look happy though, so that’s something!
-
- Every year, this couple shines. They’re both too hot for words. And Giselle’s short hem and grommet details show just enough skin without looking sleezy. She always gets it right.
-
- Giselle really serving it as she gets into character with her punk rock expression.
-
- The Lanvin teal blazer on Victor is a nice pop of color. And I love when women take a chance and wear pants on the red carpet. Elaina looks comfortable, confident and chic in her Naeem Khan beaded jacket, tafetta cigarette pant, and open ballskirt.
-
- Lala rocked a red satin slip Zac Posen gown which beautifully accentuated her curvy, yet slim and tone figure. I also appreciated her blonde, straight locs. The new do was a refreshing look on her. I just wish she looked a little more alive in the face.
-
- I would slander Amar’e for attending the MET Gala on a “school” night, but since he’s not expected to return to the lineup until Game 3, I guess I’ll let it slide. Plus, he and his wife looked amazing on the carpet and I’m happy we didn’t miss this moment. Amar’e wore Calvin Klein. The plum blazer with extra sheen, black slacks and sneakers seemed a bit casual at first, but since he’s an athlete and the theme was punk, I believe it’s appropriate. And his cute, pregnant wife, Alexis, is a perfect vision of how to successfully pull off a couture maternity look on the red carpet. The feathered frock and matching lashes show that Alexis might be pregnant but she remains just as glamorous as ever.
-
- For the second year in a row, Rooney Mara wore Givenchy. Since Mara’s aesthetic is regularly punk or goth, this year’s theme was right up her alley. And I believe she nailed it. The white sheer, zipped bodice, strong shoulder, and scalloped hem felt surprisingly romantic, delicate, and extremely feminine. Also, her usually pale skin, dark lip, and slicked back hair was right on trend for “Punk”. I loved everything about this look.
-
- And here’s the look from the back. Perfection.

Beyonce, who’s known for rocking out in the fiercest heels, has recently switched her style up and 
Meanwhile, Alicia Keys Beatz launched her inaugural sneaker line in partnership with Reebok last September. She eased into the market with my childhood faves, 5411s aka Reebok Classics, but has since evolved the line to include her latest venture, AKW “Wedge Pack”. Similar to “King Bey”, AKW’s “Wedge Pack”, which made its debut during her NBA All-Star Game halftime performance, is equipped with a hidden wedged heel. But staying consistent with many of Reebok’s other designs, the “Wedge Pack” is constructed from leather, nylon, mesh, suede, and nubuck. And because ladies need choices, the “Wedge Pack” is available in several colorways.
And last but definitely not least is Teyana Taylor. When it comes to maintaining sex appeal while being swagged out in tomboy gear, no one does it better than the Harlem native. So, it’s only right that she partnered with adidas on the Harlem GLC. Although the hightop sneaker is available in multiple colors, the bronze colorway with the scaly leather texture is a Teyana Taylor exclusive. However, if you want to grab a pair, you’re out of luck. After her NBA All Star Weekend launch, the Harlem GLC’s are all sold out. There are
