Style Best Met Colour: Jennifer Lopez I already know we’re going to fight about this. We might fight about this harder than anything else we fight about all day. Because I get it, you hate the f-ckin’ floral shrug. You’re offended by the floral shrug. It’s not my favourite, no, I’m By Lainey • May 03, 2011 06:16 am
Style Best Met Sateen: Freida Pinto You know sateen can be trouble as a rule. At etalk our producers have a no sateen policy when it comes to live events. Especially Michelle. You’ve already heard me too many times complaining about imaginary lumps and bumps. Even here, on Freida Pinto, there are a few. Without By Lainey • May 03, 2011 06:03 am
Met Gala 2011 Met Chaise: Kristen Stewart Well, the back is certainly better than the front. To me the zigzag on it though might be a little extra, kinda like crinkle cut fries, and unnecessary with all the business happening in the pattern, but it’s definitely an improvement on the front which is too heavy across By Lainey • May 03, 2011 05:45 am
Girly Throw Downs Met Glee-off: Dianna Agron & Lea Michele How did they both end up in red? They can try to convince me until they’re red in the face that they did it “on purpose” but there is no way I’d believe it. I would however totally buy it if you tell me in two weeks that By Lainey • May 03, 2011 05:28 am
Posing Met Back-Hard Pose-Hard: Renee Zellweger As I’ve already noted on previous occasions, it is not a relaxing exercise watching Renee Zellweger posing on a carpet. So much effort is involved. The first time I covered the Costume Institute Gala it was with my friend Lara – hi Lara!!! – and we were obviously jerking off over By Lainey • May 03, 2011 05:09 am
Bad Style Met Disappointing: Naomi Watts Jesus. What just happened? I can see the seam on the shoulder because it’s sheer overlay which... gross. As in from the bowels of bad bridal, you know? All of it. From the belt to the cascading bedazzlement and again the no-colourness that seemed to prevail last night, By Lainey • May 03, 2011 04:48 am
Style Except for Daphne Guinness ... This is a continuation of the thought expressed in the SJP article. About no one really bringing it. But for Daphne Guinness. She’s 43. An artist, an heiress, once married to a Greek shipping tycoon, these are the people who exist on yachts and in castles, who can afford By Lainey • May 03, 2011 04:34 am
Style Met Sober: SJP I mean sober as in serious, but I can understand why you might think it’s the other way. Her husband however wasn’t ignoring her as her date last night. So there’s that. It was no surprise that Sarah Jessica Parker chose McQueen last night to honour the By Lainey • May 03, 2011 04:21 am
Bad Style Worst Met Colour: Rashida Jones Michelle sent me a note last night when all of us started hitting the wires to see the photos as they we released. Her message was simple: “How can this happen to someone so beautiful?” It’s true. Rashida Jones is beautiful. And she is dressed up in all kinds By Lainey • May 03, 2011 04:00 am
Style Met Try: Demi Moore The Royal Wedding was on Friday. And showing up in a fascinator like this to the Met Gala in New York three days later is kinda like saying, I really, really wanted to be invited but I wasn’t so I’m wearing what I would have worn there instead. By Lainey • May 03, 2011 03:52 am
Bad Style Met without the braid: Rihanna Stella McCartney had some big names in her clothes last night. Madonna and Gwyneth (more on them later), Kate Hudson, as always, and Rihanna too, in a one shoulder black lace which, I mean it’s not something I’d pick for myself, but on Rihanna it fit beautifully, it’ By Lainey • May 03, 2011 03:41 am
Maple Leaf Is this your Met Best? Diane Kruger&Joshua Jackson Have been hearing from many of you over email and Twitter this morning. Almost everyone is into Diane Kruger as styled by Jason Wu. No, it certainly doesn’t suck. But I can’t say it’s my best. Maybe it’s because Jason Wu, while popular and talented and By Lainey • May 03, 2011 03:28 am
Style Met Olsens: what did you expect? I don’t know why people bother tutting about what the Olsens wear, especially to events like these. At this point, does anyone really think that they’re hoping to make it onto People.com’s Best Dressed of the Night? Mary-Kate would probably prune herself to death if By Lainey • May 03, 2011 03:19 am
Style Met Boring: Zoe Saldana It’s bright yellow and I’m calling it boring. Because it is. It’s strapless. It’s that trademark Calvin Klein seemingly super-industrial wrinkle resistant material. There’s a belt at the waist. With some flaps at that back. And... that’s it. But... This is Zoe Saldana. By Lainey • May 03, 2011 02:48 am
Style Best Swift Styling: Taylor Swift This may be my favourite Taylor Swift of all time. The way she’s been styled, this might her best ever. And it goes back to what I said about Beyonce – taking her own steeze and twisting it out for the Met Gala on a night for McQueen. That would By Lainey • May 03, 2011 02:38 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Similar Met Bumps: Kate Hudson & Jessica Alba I read somewhere, I can’t remember where, that Alba’s ensemble last night was one of the best. What? This is Jessica Alba, who is pregnant, in a no-colour Ralph Lauren, and I don’t see how this can be characterised as anything other than a mess. Look By Lainey • May 03, 2011 02:23 am
