I've been rewatching Gossip Girl on Netflix lately (the perfect alternative to studying for finals, right?) but it already feels somewhat dated. Poor Dan Humphrey had to put up with so much crap for being from the dreaded Brooklyn *gasp* but if only he had stuck around to see how coveted the New York City borough has become. Blair, who once scoffed at the very idea of crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, surely would have been delighted to make the trek if it was for a Christian Dior runway show. 

Some of fashion's brightest young things crossed into Brooklyn for a delightfully vibrant Dior cruise collection at a Navy Yard warehouse, and the clothes radiated both the sophisticated class that Dior is known for and the hip urban edge that a city girl would absolutely adore. 

Light, airy fabrics inspired by silk scarves from the Dior archives meshed perfectly with bold graphic prints and statement-making black lace-up open-toe booties. There are first date looks, board meeting ensembles, and of course resort-worthy frocks, making the collection one for all women to wear and enjoy. 

The front row was just as hip as the Brooklyn setting. Fashion bloggers Hanneli Mustaparta and Leandra Medine (of the Man Repeller) showed up in baby blues. I loved the juxtaposition of the slightly scandalous mesh sweatshirt with the sweet skirt and ladylike pointed pumps from Hanneli.

Allison Williams looked minimalist chic in a Dior tuxedo-inspired jumpsuit and sleek straight hair. She is truly proving herself to be a stunning fashionista.

French ladies Marion Cotillard and Adele Exarchopoulos also attended. Cotillard wore a glimmering Dior maxi shift. It's a cute dress but I think it would have looked even cuter as a mini dress with a swing shape. Exarchopoulos has become a shining star on the red carpet and her look at the Dior show was no exception. Her mix of loose crop top and tight black pencil skirt, complete with classic black pumps, is exceptionally chic and stays true to her vampy style. 

In an unexpected turn, Rihanna ended up being my pick for best-dressed amongst the front row celebs. I love her girly bubblegum pink dress and colorful top-handle handbag. With tattoos and a bold red lip, the look isn't too cutesy but rather the perfect mix of girly and edgy. 

On both the runways and the seats, the Dior cruise show was full of fabulous looks What was your favorite look from the collection? Who was your best dressed front row lady?

Emma Stone is hard not to like, and when she is playing the stylish, intelligent, grounded girlfriend to real life beau Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker/Spiderman, it's hard not to fall in love with her on-screen persona Gwen Stacy either.

I've already dedicated a post to how much I adore Gwen's style when the first film came out two years ago. She is classically fashionable with a tinge of retro pop that is perfect for a comic book inspired world. Her signature style is preppy and stylish, and her black knee-high leather boots paired with textured tights add the perfect hint of sex appeal. 

Gwen Stacy isn't afraid to add some color, so don't shy away from bright shades when looking to replicate her signature style. Gwen is also a bit of a perfectionist and loves some well-placed color coordination. Try to draw out an accent color from your clothing with a similarly-hued accessory. 

Do you guys like Gwen's outfits in the Amazing Spiderman 2? Have you seen the movie yet? What did you think? 

The biggest names in fashion came out for the annual Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last night,  this time to celebrate the opening of the exhibit on American couturier Charles James. 

To celebrate the iconic eveningwear designer's penchant for the elegant and the dramatic, celebrities donned full skirts in rich fabrics, opulent jewels, and timeless silhouettes. There were plenty of hits and an astonishingly large amount of misses as well, but let's focus on the winning outfits of the evening, shall we?

Arizona Muse, Karolina Kurkova, and Liu Wen all rose to the occasion in dramatic full-skirted ballgowns, all looking lovely in their sophisticated ensembles. The three looked every bit the Charles James girl in such classic evening looks, and I'm sure the late designer would have loved to dress these stylish women.

Other starlets like Blake Lively, Idina Menzel, and Allison Williams opted for form-fitting gowns with dramatic trains that made a bold statement. All three looked elegant, Old-Hollywood, and goddess-like in their custom gowns. I was especially delighted to see Blake back on the red carpet (with husband Ryan Reynolds looking extremely handsome by her side) after an absence at Hollywood events.

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield were another well-dressed celebrity couple on the red carpet last night. Stone stunned in a pink Thankoon crop top and wrapped maxi skirt, and her perfectly messy braid was one of my favorite beauty looks of the evening. She looked absolutely gorgeous without looking stuffy.

And in one of the most unexpected looks of the evening, fashion darling Lupita Nyong'o dazzled in a custom Prada dress that seemed to have hopped out of the most recent Great Gatsby film. You know Lupita had fun with the dress and I think that is why it works so well on her - on most others it would have looked cheesy, but on Lupita it is fun and fresh.  

Who were your favorite looks of the evening? Are you planning on visiting the Charles James exhibit this summer?

You don't have to be a Williams sister or the next Rafael Nadal to rock a preppy tennis-inspired look. Airy skorts, athletic crop tops, and country club argyles were all the rage on the spring 2014 runways and you don't have to be a rising tennis star or the one to watch at Wimbledon to adopt the crisp and pristine style of a grand slam champ.

For the preppy individual, it's all about the country club staples: crests, stripes, argyle, et cetera, preferably in sharp whites or polished pastels. Sporty visors or caps make for excellent finishing touches.

If you are more of a downtown girl, get inspired by the sports bra and tennis tops. Athletic tops have gotten pretty cool looking (just look at the successes of lululemon if you need convincing) and paired with relaxed trousers or a midi skirt you will look absolutely amazing.

Tennis shoes are also everywhere right now and a great way to add sporty vibes to any outfit. Just make sure you pair your sneakers with polished pieces to avoid from looking sloppy or like you just got back from the gym (unless, of course, you did just get back from working out, in which case good for you!)

Are you loving the tennis court style?
