The worlds of punk rock chic and Hollywood glamour collided on the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala in New York City on May 6, 2013. Starlets embraced the culture clash by hybridizing metal spikes and studs with luxurious gowns.

For “What To Wear Wednesday,” I’ve decided to honor this year’s theme, “PUNK: Chaos to Couture.” You can’t get any more punk rock chic than red leather pants – the side zips scream rocker cool!

The look on the left is more on the glam side while the look on the right is edgier.  The key to keeping it glam is through feminine adornments and details. A sleek stiletto will always swank up an outfit. Along with delicate jewelry pieces and light, sheer materials. To achieve an edgier look, think the opposite of the aforementioned. Opt for  heavier materials, chunky adornments and masculine details.

Regardless of style, don’t forget to incorporate the S trilogy: skulls, studs and spikes- quintessential punk rock chic!
