Media Manipulation “The Thinking Man’s Blake Lively” Louisa forwarded me the New York Times profile on Alicia Vikander the other day highlighting this part in the piece: “Whether the MoMA show, “This Is for Everyone,” was in fact her choice or that of her ever-present handlers, who seemed intent on positioning Ms. Vikander as a thinking- By Lainey • May 06, 2015 12:38 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Natalie’s sequins Not usually into an all-sequined dress. First of all, it’s uncomfortable. And second, they’re usually really revealing, like for office Christmas parties. This one though, because of the high collar and the sleeves, feels more like a long sweater. And the pattern detail too. I love it. By Lainey • May 06, 2015 11:22 am
Bad Style Bradley Cooper & Irina Shayk after the MET Gala Bradley Cooper was at the MET Gala even though he skipped the carpet. Inside, he and Irina Shayk kept their distance.

Relationship Assumption Katy Perry & John Mayer after the MET Katy Perry changed wigs after the MET Gala on Monday night and hit up on the after-parties with designer Jeremy Scott…and then John Mayer was spotted arriving right behind her.

Maple Leaf Justin Bieber: Co-Best at the MET Gala We can fight about everything else. But we can’t fight about this. There’s no debate. Even though it’s Justin Bieber… What he’s wearing here, custom Balmain by Olivier Rousteing is everything that the MET Gala was supposed to be last night. Double dragons up the sleeves?

Style Sarah Jessica Parker: Co-Best at the MET Gala 2015 Bless her. She gets it. She gets it so much that she jokes about it. She jokes about all the crazy sh-t she’s worn in the past. She laughs about having to do yoga moves in the car on the way there just to accommodate the outrageous pieces By Lainey • May 05, 2015 12:46 pm
Bad Style Reese Witherspoon: MET Gala 2015 Worst Dressed She’s the one I’ve been alluding to the whole time when asking the question – why are you there if you’re not there to play?

Style Solange’s Star Wars MET Pearl YES, Solange. YES. This, as I’ve noted on several previous occasions, is what Solange should be putting all her efforts into. LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL THING. Giles is the designer. And isn’t this exactly why fashion is art? The interpretation? Because a lot of people are describing this By Lainey • May 05, 2015 11:03 am
MET Gala 2015 MET Cher, MET sheer, and the MET Beyonce distraction Can you imagine how excited Marc Jacobs must have been to dress Cher for the MET Gala? Cher, as we all know, is usually associated with one designer: Bob Mackie. Mackie is apparently too busy to design her costumes for her new tour, appropriately titled Dressed To Kill. She was By Lainey • May 05, 2015 10:34 am
Style Rihanna clears out the MET This is the dress that spawned the memes. Google it. You’ll find pizza and Big Bird and more and yeah, of course. OF COURSE it should be memed. It was made to be memed. It was made to be noticed and admired and ridiculed. It was made to be By Lainey • May 05, 2015 09:58 am
Style The Clooneys first MET Gala Ever since they arrived in New York I’ve been rubbing up the Gossip Genie for it, for Amal and George Clooney to show up at the MET Gala. How could it not happen?

Style Sienna’s red MET tuxedo This was close, I have to tell you. It was close to be the Best for me. And if it were any other year, or event, sh-t, it probably would have been. But this is why Sienna Miller is so worth waiting for. I want to remember this look. By Lainey • May 05, 2015 09:22 am
MET Gala 2015 Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen: So dark at the MET, lah I’ll channel Kevin Kwan’s Crazy Rich Asians & China Rich Girlfriend “Singlish” for this post about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen who decided maintain their funereal style – which, ordinarily, I’m into – for the China MET Gala… Alamak!
