Fashionable Asians at the 2012 Met Gala

Last night was the 2012 Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.  Major celebrities and models joined fashion designers in their red carpet best and lucky for us we got to see a couple of well known Asians there as well! Check 'em out!
Chinese model Liu Wen in Michael Kors was by far my favorite look at the Met Gala.  The sparkly red dress contrasted nicely against her skin and the fit was just made for her.
Vera Wang in none other than Vera Wang, the dress looks great, just wish her arms did too..
 Vera Wang and Wendy Deng Murdoch who was also wearing Vera Wang, looked the best I've ever seen her at a red carpet event. Asian women know how to work those red gowns, why else do you think Chinese wedding dresses are red? Cause we look Ah-mazing in them!
Alexa Chung wore Marc Jacobs, not my favorite look since she didn't pair the leather and floral dress with the matching floral blouse that was shown on the runway.  
 Chanel Iman in Tom Ford, she's only a quarter Asian but I still like to include her cause she looked quite fab last night in this sheer black and white dress.
The Talk host Julie Chen made an appearance in this shiny gray v-neck frock.

Fashionable Asians at the 2011 Met Costume Gala



Last night was the Met Costume Gala honoring Alexander McQueen. I can't wait to go check out the MccQueen exhibit for myself, it is literally the talk of the town! Everyone who was anyone in the fashion and entertainment industry was in attendance, even some very notable Asians:




Alexa Chung in a sparkly beaded Christopher Kane dress, one of my favorite looks of the night. I thought it was a pretty unique choice for Alexa since everyone else was in long gowns, but Alexa always surprises.



Vera Wang showed up in her own creation to the Gala looking rather frail. While I like the overall design of the dress, I think another color would've looked better on Vera. I never liked mustard hues on Asians :T



Lucy Liu in a feathery gown by Vionnet. I'm kind of on the fence about this one since I'm not a fan of feathers but I like the sheer part giving the dress a bit of subtle sexiness. The belted center is throwing me off a bit, the break in feathers might be a bit too wide.


UPDATE 5/4: Just found out my favorite half Asian Maggie Q was there wearing a gorgeous floral ruffle dress by Asian designer Tadashi Shoji. Maggie totally rocked it with an elegant updo and neutral makeup. Who else is excited to watch Nikita this week? It has gotten soooo good since her and Shane are hooking up on the show!


Which Asian lady has your vote for most fashionable?
