Mother’s Day is your day, but there is no question that the guest of honor is your sweet mini. Who else loves manicures and brunches with mom more than the beautiful girl who gave you your official mama title? If you’re treating yourself and your bestie to a new look this Mother’s Day, consider the recent 2017 Met Gala for inspiration. We’ve matched these red carpet styles with designer kids dresses that are playful, structured, modern, and oh-so-feminine.
This year’s honoree was the “Oracle of Fashion,” designer Rei Kawakubo, the first living designer to be honored with a show at the Met’s Costume Institute since 1983. A-list celebs strutted the red carpet of the opening gala decked in costumes created by world-renowned designers to honor Kawakubo’s unique style.
“Many designers work with the goal of making women look good. Ms. Kawakubo seems to work with the goal of making women look again,” writes The New York Times.
Here are our picks for girl’s fashion that were designed for a head-turning ‘second glance.’

1. Lily Collins in Giambattista Valli Haute Couture
“The starlet tapped into her dark side and showed off an edge to her girly side.”
Le Petit Tom, Black Lace Pink Tutu Dress. The pink tutu is classically girly but, like the red carpet look, the black lace bodice and frayed edges of the tutu add an undeniable edge to the look.

5. Lily Rose Depp in Chanel Haute Couture
“The Chanel cosmetics and fragrance face brought some much needed color to the (blue and white) carpet.”
Suoak New York, Pink Organza Dress. Your little lady will bring some much needed color to Mother’s Day brunch with this perfectly rosy number from Suoak New York. Like the Chanel piece, it features a fitted drop waist and a feminine flourish in the form of the contrasting fabric layered over the clean modern look of organza for added texture.
