A Jewel Moment In Which I Cannot Partake

So the other night was the Annual Met Gala here in New York City--one of fashion's most important nights. The theme was punk, so there were a lot of...interesting...get-ups, but having more fun and leeway with fashion is what the night is about so [mostly] all is forgiven. There were a lot of good things happenin' though so I thought I'd highlight those.

If you're going to have a mohawk, a gold jeweled piece is the way to go.

But by far, the most obvious moment being had at the 2013 Met Gala was earrings. Something I cannot partake in because I'm allergic to earrings (even hypoallergenic so don't suggest it). I was cursed with every bad trait and allergy my parents had to offer. But lets take a look at the best earwear of the night.

Diane Kruger's ear sprouted wings

X-Men-inspired hair aside, Nicole's ears are spiked out

All hail Lauren Santo Domingo

Brooklyn Decker, I mean...the hair thing? Unexpected and so cool. Seriously?

SERIOUSLY, I NEED THAT HIDDEN SPIKED HEADBAND

Who knew diamonds could be punky?

I really want to hate Blake Lively, but everything she wears is just perfect. LOOK AT THOSE EARRINGS.

Take a cue from these ladies, pull back your hair, and let your ears have a shining moment. Here are some different ways to get the look no matter what your pricepoint is.

1. Punky-Princess style on the cheap. These earrings from topshop.com are only $18

 

 2. These DANNIJO earrings look like little turquoise and green mohawks on your ear, but not in the "Gross, you have hairy mohawks on your ears" because they're, ya know, jewels. They're $320, but they're like the puppy dog eyes of earrings--you just CAN'T say no. YOU CAN'T.

 

 3. One of my favorite things is ear cuffs and this one from asos.com is no exception to the rule. Only $58! Get them now and let me live vicariously through you, I beg of you.

Take a look around and find something that fits your price range and get on this rad trend.

So did you all have any favorite looks and least favorite wacky ensembles from that night?
