The GALA DARLING
Bippity Boppity Boo, We have so much to do!
Although the MET GALA is not until May 2020, it’s always best to have a head start!
February 8,
Season 17 Project Runway contestant, Bishme Cromartie, presents Bc Exhibition Gala in celebrator of his greatest accomplishments; showcasing his latest designs, curating a Baltimore fashion hub, and moving to LA!
Can you guess the theme?
THEE MET GALA!
If you are unfamiliar with The MET GALA,
It is well known for its dramatic, bold, and risqué fashion statements. Celebrities like 8x Grammy Award Winner singer Rihanna, actress Sex & the City Sarah Jessica Parker, pop vocalist and actor Billy Porter, top US Billboard rapper Cardi B, British Model Cara Delevingne and of course Queen Bey herself strut the red carpet, while the audience “oh and awe”, gasp and await for the perfect moment to flick. Or to scan the “gram” for a screenshot repost on their Instagram stories.
Bloggers, fashion stylists, reporters, paparazzi, socialites look forward to this extravaganza every year.
Let’s call it the Unconventional Cinderella Ball!
Fast forward, I received an email on the event being canceled and a refund issued.
- Sigh
This was my last chance to meet with the fashion designer Bishme. However, it will not be my last time wearing this swoon all-black fit.
Beat that Cinderalla’s evil stepmom!
Here are the 4 tips for a distinguish look for an evening GALA!
Foremost, The dress attire for an evening gala is always to look your best, of course, but not to look as a “high school prom” date.
1.Length- Determine whether you would like a long gown, short cocktail, two piece set, or sophisticated pantsuit. It’s 2020, I believe women can wear a fiery pantsuit. Unless the dress code is enforce
2. Neckline: What type of neckline (style) are you going for? I know a few women are concern about the length of their neck. For short or long lengths, consider a (semi)sweetheart, pentagonal to. For a long length, try an illusion, v neck, asymmetrical as well, if you would like to elongate your neck.
3.Texture: The season and comfort are vital points searching for outfits . You definitely do not want to wear velvet in the blistering heat, nor have bunch fabric in supposedly smooth areas. Cooler months: Velvet & Silk ( colors: blue, green, purple, golds, burgundy). Warmer months: Cotton,Lace, , sunset orange, mellow yellow, and pastels.
4.Drama: The good drama, ditch the bad at home. We need some enhancements, darling : a slit, caged back, backless, drape, semi ruffles, nice bead work.
