Bad Style Jennifer Lawrence’s two MET dresses Hated what Jennifer Lawrence wore to the MET Gala main event, especially as one of the co-hosts. Is it limiting, this Dior deal? Duana wrote earlier about Emily Blunt, about assuming Emily was more fashion forward than she actually is because, hilariously, she was in Devil Wears Prada. And By Lainey • May 05, 2015 08:55 am
Style FKA twigs & Robert Pattinson: Penis & Tea Hands at the MET What did I say yesterday when I wrote about FKA twigs and Robert Pattinson making their red carpet debut at the MET Gala? I said I wanted her to go rogue. Well, she wore a Christopher Kane dress with a dick at the slit. That’ll do. When I was By Lainey • May 05, 2015 08:32 am
Bad Style JLO’s MET Dragon It’s Versace. But it could also have been Zuhair Murad. What’s the difference? Beading held together by pantyhose – who can tell it apart? Doesn’t matter if there’s a dragon because f-ck, I’m so over it. I’m so over JLO in these kinds of By Lainey • May 05, 2015 07:37 am
Aging Gorgessity Madonna & Katy Perry: MET Moschino If you’d have asked me who I would have predicted to pull out the ching-chong eyes before the MET Gala, I would have told you Katy Perry. Dakota Johnson would not have been on my radar. Maybe it’s because I’m so surprised that Katy wasn’t By Lainey • May 05, 2015 07:30 am
Bad Style Dakota Johnson: MET Eyes So… Dakota Johnson. In Chanel. Nothing in the dress speaks to the theme of the MET Gala. And then you look at her eyes. And because it’s the MET Gala and the theme is China: Through The Looking Glass, and her dress isn’t China at all, now I’ By Lainey • May 05, 2015 07:19 am
MET Gala 2015 Miley Cyrus: MET Gala recycle I liked it better in 2013 when she wore Marc Jacobs and it was punk. Click here for a refresher. So this Alexander Wang feels a little recycled. That said, with her history of cultural appropriation, maybe it was a good idea to play it safe. What I like most By Lainey • May 05, 2015 06:56 am
MET Gala 2015 Lady Gaga: Empress at the MET I wrote earlier about the Empress Dowager Cixi in the Fan Bingbing post – click here if you missed it. Fan Bingbing was what I imagined a modern Cixi would look like. Lady Gaga, in Alexander Wang for Balenciaga, however was probably the closest interpretation of the outer robes that Cixi By Lainey • May 05, 2015 06:42 am
MET Gala 2015 Jessica Chastain: MET Most Frustrating Jessica Chastain wore gold Givenchy at the MET Gala. She also wore Givenchy at the Oscars. I don’t ever want to see that dress again but if you do, or if you can’t recall it, click here for a refresher. As I said at the time, I love By Lainey • May 05, 2015 06:04 am
MET Gala 2015 Olivia Munn: MET Gala ombre This J Mendel on Olivia Munn is a shrug for me…at the MET Gala. At the Golden Globes? All over it. The falling sleeves really flatter the shoulders. And it’s still sexy without being tight and clingy. What do you think of her nails though? The matching ombre. By Lainey • May 05, 2015 05:47 am
Bad Style Rachel Weisz: Worst MET Disappointment Was it a last minute decision? Like, she wasn’t intending to go but decided to go anyway and just yanked something serviceable out of the closet that didn’t need to be pressed? Then again, it’s Chanel. I’ve no doubt Rachel Weisz has some Chanel lying around By Lainey • May 05, 2015 02:50 am
Style Allison Williams at the MET Gala: her best dress Allison Williams doesn’t usually do it for me on a red carpet. And I don’t often enjoy a red dress on a red carpet either. Especially this shade of red, where you can’t tell the difference between the dress and the carpet. Also, tulle. Don’t have By Lainey • May 05, 2015 02:26 am
Gossip Genie Michael B Jordan’s first MET Gala Well done. Michael B Jordan is the male counterpart to Courtney Easton. They’re both in Dolce&Gabbana. And it’s the fabric that sets this apart from just a regular tuxedo. It’s luxurious. It’s old and modern at the same time. It has to be worn By Lainey • May 05, 2015 02:16 am
MET Gala 2015 Eddie Redmayne & Hannah Bagshawe: MET Gala black & white Julia Roberts. That’s who popped into my mind when Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshawe arrived at the MET Gala. Julia Roberts at the Oscars. Winning at the Oscars in vintage Valentino. I just feel like annoying you so I’ll post this to get you going: It works every By Lainey • May 05, 2015 02:03 am
MET Gala 2015 Courtney Eaton: MET Virgin Princess Well it’s gold. But it’s definitely not Chinese. Still… I appreciate the drama of this look (while you’re still wondering who she is. Answer: actress, Mad Max: Fury Road). It’s Dolce&Gabbana and it reminds me of their Fall 2012 collection which Stefano described as By Lainey • May 05, 2015 01:50 am
Posing Katie Holmes at the MET: Return of the Bob Almost anything would have been an improvement on last year. The WTF yellow Marchesa. What? You forgot? How? Here. For 2015, Katie Holmes wore Zac Posen. And it’s fine. Forgettable, but fine. Oh and a new fringed bob that may or may not be a wig. Which just reminds By Lainey • May 05, 2015 01:31 am
MET Gala 2015 Fan Bingbing: Best MET Cape Kate Hudson’s gold dress was worn like a dishrag. And then there’s a gold dress the way Fan Bingbing wears a gold dress. By covering it with a cape. I wish I could show you more photos of her but photographers at these events tend to ignore international By Lainey • May 05, 2015 01:13 am
