Trendspotting at the Met Gala

The Met Gala, the unveiling of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s fashion exhibit, is hosted by Vogue and considered to be the Oscars of Fashion - it’s the red carpet event of the year. It’s always exciting when the red carpet photos are released, so as soon as they came out, our lovely CakeStylists combed through for inspiration and to see the up-and-coming trends in the fashion world. Here are their top five:

1. Capes

Capes aren’t just for vampires - in 2012, they’re for fashionistas.

2. Mini Dresses with Sheer Overlay

It’s part mini, part maxi… but all sexy.

3. Human Statue

It’s not easy wearing gold from head to toe, but these ladies get it right.

4. Asymmetry

Traditionally, symmetry equates beauty. But who wants to be traditional?

5. Yellow Peplum

Canary has never been so in.
