A new issue of GOOP. And it’s not wellness or mother-ness and food-ness. Instead, this newsletter is dedicated to GOOP Punk...at the MET Gala! For all her sh-tting on the event and moaning about what a terrible time she had, she still couldn’t resist sharing with us what the styling experience was like. Full Story

As expected, Nicole Kidman killed it tonight in Cannes. Her best, best, BEST showing in years. This exquisite dress is Christian Dior from the Haute Couture S/S 2013 that I posted here in January. And I called it exquisite then too. Shocking that there wasn’t more of this at the Oscars. Full Story

Maggie’s one of my regulars. As Duana said, similar to what was noted about Kirsten Dunst -- click here for a refresher -- Maggie could have owned the Punk MET Gala. She has great, eclectic taste. She has a unique, interesting look. She is not normally interested in dressing for approval. Full Story

I am devastated. This is two years in a row now that Gwyneth Paltrow has under-delivered at the MET Gala. Last year she gave us a preview of Anne Hathaway’s eventual Oscar dress that was supposed to be Valentino but ended up being Prada because of Amanda Seyfried, except in silver. Click here Full Story

Duana and I both groaned. Kiki D could have owned this thing, you know? Kiki D, who very rarely dresses for Reese Witherspoon’s PEOPLE Magazine readers, seemed the perfect candidate to take over this red carpet with quirk and individuality and... Cleavage + a F-CKING FEATHER skirt is how she came. Full Story

It’s not the makeup that’s the problem. Click here. You see the difference it makes when the makeup is worn with something complementary? The makeup works there, doesn’t it? It does NOT however work when it’s on top of a Tory Burch dress. Full Story

Duana brought it up: that Kate Mara actively dresses exactly the opposite of her sister. Which must be the reason she went for this heinous baby doll with a terribly matched pair of heels. Come on, really? This is the best Kate Mara could do? No, she's not an Oscar-nominated film star but House Of Cards isn't insignificant either and besides, she was just in Prada Full Story

Worst MET White: Katie Holmes

Totally clueless. It's a white dress with a ring collar. And? This is something Katie Holmes, Mrs Cruise the lobotomised, would have chosen. This is not something Katie Holmes, the single mother ninja who engineered a daring escape from the clutches of Scientology, should be choosing FOR F-CK's SAKE. Full Story

Last year, Kate Upton, unlike most other models, had to offer to pay her way into the MET Gala. Click here for a refresher. This year, Oh My God, look what happened to her. There is no snark here. There is no pleasure. There is only sympathy, truly. Full Story

Red Taffeta at the MET: Kate Beckinsale

Red Taffeta. At the MET Gala. With an asymmetrical hem. It’s offensive. If you have to do taffeta, you do it like Christina Ricci -- more on her later. Red Taffeta you save for Julie Bowen, at the Emmy Awards. Or, you know, for a 60th wedding anniversary. I can’t even with the gathering of the fabric there at the waist. Full Story

Here I am in a sequined black dress you could easily find at French Connection, my eyes weirded up with black liner, and I’ll call it enough for punk at the MET Gala. Sure... If you’re Kate Moss, fine. If you’re Chloe Sevigny, OK. But if you’re January Jones? Who can’t make a paternity scandal interesting? Let me sit you next to Amber Heard so that you can disappear together. Full Story

Imitation of Scarjo at the MET: Amber Heard

Let me just say it. Because I feel like this is what they want: To convince us that Amber Heard is the new Scarlett Johansson. Amber Heard is not Scarlett Johansson. Johnny Depp can try as hard as he wants to, but it’s not happening. You can keep selling her to me as a bombshell and I will keep telling you: I am bored. Full Story

Anna Wintour wore floral Chanel. And ...no punk. I mean, as the boss lady of the show, this is super weak. And it’s not like she’s never been game. After all, at the Super Heroes themed MET Gala a few years ago, she also wore Chanel with weird animal horns on her hips. That time she brought it. Full Story
