Chic of the Week x2

To make up for last week's missing Chic of the Week (my apologies!), I have included two ladies in this week's post. And what better occasion to double up than with looks from fashion's version of the Olympics than the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute gala, which took place at the beginning of this week!


Who: German actress Diane Kruger.

What: A silver Alberta Ferretti, Fred Leighton Jewels and bright pink peeptoes.

When: Monday, May 5, 2008.

Where: Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute gala in Manhattan.

Why: I love the choice of short in a sea of long gowns and mile-long train, not to mention the quirky yet lovely (and semi-80s) pairing of fuschia with silver. Oh, and having Pacey as a date is not too shabby either.




























Who: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, model.

What: A multicolored, tiered strapless gown by Burberry.

When: Monday, May 5, 2008.

Where: Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute gala in Manhattan.

Why: The simple updo with a perfect bang, very sparse jewelry (which I love for evening) and interesting use of texture and color against this classic shape are perfection.
