ALEXANDER MCQUEEN>A ROYAL SEND OFF LEE ALEXANDER MCQUEEN>1969-2010 Upon hearing the tragic news of Alexander McQueen’s suicide last week, Plum Skyes of American Vogue stated that “he always did the opposite of what everyone expected.” With this thought in mind, The Event is not going to write about how tragic, shocking or damaging his death was, but instead, how much of a maverick he was whilst alive.

MCQUEEN ON THE RED CARPET

The label-loving fashionista, Sarah Jessica Parker, championed Alexander McQueen both and off screen. She teamed this tulle gown adorned with feathers with a hat by one of McQueen’s greatest collaborators, Philip Treacy.

With Cameron Diaz’s beautiful sun-kissed skin, this floor length gold dress really enhances her complexion. The elegant sequins convey a luxurious glamour and their application in strategic patterns emphasize her trim figure.

The light, wispy material plays effortlessly with Nicole Richie’s petite frame. The cut gives her height while the floating layers exude womanly curves. Black and white is always a winner as is this exquisite, detailed print.
