The 1920s look is boring. Sorry but don’t blame me. Thanks to a machine of publicity to push Baz Luhrmann’s film version of F Scott Fitzgerald’s novel the decade is being done to death.

Sure, it’s stunning and just a week ago I was raving about how I wish I could wear a dropped waist, they didn’t like curves then, and spend my life partying with Leo on the east coast of America ­– but there’s work and who would water my plant?

So anyway, there’s another camp for those people who are sick of the glitz and glamour being forced down our throats.

It’s punk.

For me, it started when yet another chirpy Get the G****y look flipped into my inbox. 

I deleted it and emptied the trashcan - there's something more, satisfying about getting rid of something twice, no? - and began looking for something else.

The whole point in punk is to rebel.  So really anything that’s slightly off the mainstream and with an air of ‘I couldn’t care less’ qualifies.

When Carine Roitfeld, former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris and generally just ace, recently tool to the red carpet in a belted Givenchy jumper emblazoned with a funny wee Bambi motif, along with a sheer maxi-length polka dot skirt, it felt like a breath of fresh air.

The event was the Met Gala, the most fashion-forward fundraiser in the world, and it was held to celebrate the Metropolitan Museum’s new Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibition.

What could be more rebellious than Carine, with her signature smoky eyes and undone hair, wearing a jumper and showing a peek of underwear?  It’s a good effort and there wasn’t a clichéd safety pin in sight. 

Other stars embraced the ethos.

Although she got a bit of knocking, Anne Hathaway’s new blonde do was tres Debbie Harry punk.

In a vintage Valentino gown with feathered wrists she looked fresh and without a care in the world.

The real Debbie Harry, who performed on the night, also looked amazing in a textured black dress, studded jacket, boots and neck chains combo.  RayBans on the red carpet equals a total star, obviously.

I don’t know how she scored an invite but I applauded Kim Kardashian for wearing - another Givenchy by Ricardo Tisci creation - a floral high neck, floor length, slit-to-thigh-gown with matching sandals. At seven months pregnant.

She went on to tweet photos of herself pouting with various members of the fash pack, which is a bit sad but you can’t blame her with only Kanye West for company.

So, when the high street is pushing 1920s dresses down your throat in a bid to cash in on Hollywood, the advice here is to think of the Kardashians.

But beware, when Carey Mulligan revealed recently that she was inspired by Kim K in her role as Daisy Buchanan, it brought home one thing: There really is no getting away from The Great Gatsby.
