Met Gala 2016: The Fashion Director's Best Dressed

The midnight blue colour and sweeping train on this Kenzo dress is the perfect foil for Agyness Deyn's statuesque, gamine beauty

Love the understated chic of this Thakoon look on Alexa Chung. Relaxed red carpet style. Nailed it. 

In a sea of (sometimes ill advised) sci fi influenced costumes, Blake Lively's gown was an all out ode to romance and roses courtesy of Burberry. 

Simply Beautiful.

With a nod to the 'Manus versus Machina' brief but done in a very non literal modern way, this metallic, sequinned dress by Proenza Schouler shines on Brie Larson.

The bold colour and embellishemnt on this Gucci gown is perfect on Dakota Johnson and feels like a dress you could not help but have fun in. A star is born.

What I love about this Louis Vuitton dress is that it looks like something Jennifer Connelly would actually wear in 'real life'. Love the dressed down styling and is an artful excecise in how to do red carpet the modern way.

The vintage mood, delicate colours and exquisite detailing on this Dolce and Gabbana dress is perfect on Kate Bosworth.

The pale green colour, soft shimmer and minimalist lines of this Calvin Klein dress on Lupita Nyong'o is pure class.

Love the mix of retro Hollywood and contemporary glamour in this Christoper Kane gown. The pale pink colour is perfect on Saoirse Ronan.

Stacey Martin's floral sprigged Prada Gown with simple elegant lines look effortlessly pretty and modern.
