On Saturday night I prepared to cover the closing gala of Metropolitan fashion week in Los Angeles. I loved getting to dress up in my floor length dress for the event and decided to do an Old Hollywood look.
I arrived at the Warner brothers lot and was picked up by a studio cart and driven to their brownstone set where the gala was being held. We definitely got the star treatment! The set was adorned with whimsical decorations and lit up to make it feel like a real live New York street. The party decorations were in the same taste as the cirque du soleil fashion show. The blue carpet was set up against the beautiful backdrop making for great photos of all the guests. One of the first to arrive was Tommy Lei who was nominated for their fashion influencer of the year award. I interviewed Tommy about his Los Angeles based unisex fashion blog. He talked about how excited he was to be nominated for the award saying he felt he was "Really representing LA for the first time going to all the events of Los Angeles fashion week! It's always been more international for me so it's great to represent the home turf!" Tommy was also a featured influencer at LAFW this season. It is great to see such a successful blogger from Los Angeles bringing awareness to the industry in California. Other red carpet guests included the director of Geneva fashion week who was also walking in the fashion show as a model as well as the Executive producer of Metropolitan Fashion Week. You can read about my exclusive interview with him here. The crowd went crazy when former Miss Universe Alicia Machado arrived looking amazing in a figure hugging gold gown.
She was one of the hosts for the awards ceremony and has received a lot of media attention lately due to the controversial comments Presidential Candidate Donald Trump made about her body. She was rushed through the event to get ready to help host the awards backstage while crowds rushed to get a picture of her.
The event continued while more guests arrived and enjoyed the delicious desserts and drinks provided. There was even popcorn available to go along with the movie studio theme of the event. Young designers got the chance to showcase their designs from a contest where the challenge was to design an entire look out of candy. Models walked around in the fanciful and tasty looking designs and the crowd loved it.
Eventually everyone took their seats and the runway show began. The collections featured creative costumes and evening wear all in the Cirque du Soleil theme that the event advertised for the fashion show. At the end of the night the awards were presented and the event closed with a final fashion show filled with outlandish creations. It was an exciting night and I loved the chance to get dressed up for this event!
