Escada custom made the pistachio chiffon gown Kerry donned at this year’s Met Gala honoring Alexander McQueen. Those cut-out accents at the waist really popped as did that Swarovski bag and H. Stern gems. July’s 2011 ESPY Awards in Los Angles saw Kerry decked out in a flashy Jenny Packham Fall 2011 high neck number. Her charcoal beaded long-sleeved mini also had an open back and was paired with a metal Salvatore Ferragamo clutch, H.Stern jewels as well as Gio Diev shoes complete with a silver blade heel.
