The gowns were bright and elegant which brought extra oomph to the celebratory theme of the award ceremony on such a somber night (the eve of Whitney Houston’s funeral). The afore-mentioned colourful gowns were certainly a highlight for me. Jennifer Hudson looked and sang like a dream in a beautiful sky blue number. Paula Patton turned up the volume alongside a super fit Regina King as the ladies in bright red and Keke Palmer looked stunning in a strapless fuchsia gown. Viola Davis showed enough cleavage to satisfy the cleavage quota for the entire evening, the problem is…she wasn’t the only fashion maven there with her rack on prominent display. I felt it really distracted from her gorgeous gown and sincerely hope a stylist had nothing to do with that much show of skin on such a classy lady. I kept worrying that she would have a wardrobe malfunction but thankfully (at least to my knowledge) she did not. Phew!

Wish you had your own pair? Shopping information listed below.

What We Saw & Loved from the Versace For H&M Fashion Collection – Fashion Show + Verdict
FASHIONWIDGET’S TOP PICKS
FRONT ROW GUESTS↓
Emma Roberts & Jessica Alba
Selma Blair & Jennifer Hudson
Chace Crawford, Jessica Alba, and Abbie Cornish
Blake Lively & Helena Christensen
Trends we loved: The Black scarves on the heads of the models looked utterly tres chic, absolutely loved the waist-length extensions which gave the outfits a very urban-club feel, the black and gold theme, the gold studs and gold accenting, the fringe tassel dresses, the raccoon eye makeup, ankle length lace-up boots (especially the teal and black ones) and the skin-tight LBDs.
Teal and Black Lace-up boots
Trends we would pass on: The Choker necklaces seemed a bit overdone and the sequin mini dresses looked a bit ill-fitted on the models (maybe it had something to do with the lining or lack there-of).
Sequin Mini Dress
Fashionwidget’s Verdict: The Versace for H&M Collection earns an A+ for presentation, simply loving the fact that they did an actual fashionweek-esque runway show displaying the ensembles which go on sale November, 19th 2011 at participating H&M stores everywhere. Though the final grade for the actual products will be determined once the items reach store shelves and racks, when we are actually able to inspect, select & buy them. Hopefully, this does not turn out to be another Missoni for Target event.

Best Dressed At the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala 2011
WHO: Global Celebrities and Fashion Designers
WHAT: Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala 2011 (Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Exhibit)
WHEN: MAY 2nd 2011
WHERE: NYC, USA
Fashionwidget’s Verdict: This event is arguably the The “Oscars” of the Fashion World. While we are still deliberating (lots of dresses and suits to review) and while most of us are currently working on other projects simultaneously, we’ve managed to shortlist some of the best dressed celebrities from last evening’s costume gala in New York for you our lovely and *wink*wink* very patient readers. Overall it was a great night, some outfits were drop-dead gorgeous while some we refuse to even upload pics of, talk less of comment on. If you have nothing nice to say, it is better not to say anything at all right? As for the celebrities shortlisted in the slideshow above, they deserve a round of applause for bringing in on the red carpet last night. A+
