Met Gala 2013 MET Safety Pins: Carey Mulligan & Hailee Steinfeld Carey Mulligan’s dress is Balenciaga. It’s OK. The safety pin there seems like an afterthought, somewhere you might put a bow, but for tonight, why not a safety pin because...punk. I think I might have been more excited about this if it didn’t have the sameness By Lainey • May 07, 2013 08:47 am
Met Gala 2013 MET Joan Of Arc: Katy Perry It’s a lyric in one of her songs. And that was evidently Katy Perry’s inspiration for punk at the MET Gala. As she put it on Twitter: “Tonight for The Met I am channeling the OG queen of PUNK, JOAN of ARC!” Joan Of Arc by Dolce & By Lainey • May 07, 2013 08:14 am
Bad Style MET Most Disappointing Part 2: Gwen Stefani ????????? As I mentioned yesterday, they sent out a press release in advance announcing that Gwen Stefani would be in Maison Martin Margiela and I was excited. Look at their Haute Couture SS2013 collection. You understand the optimism then, yes? This however was created custom for Gwen. For Punk Night? Really? By Lainey • May 07, 2013 08:04 am
Bad Style MET Most Disappointing Part 1: Kirsten Dunst 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 By Lainey • May 07, 2013 07:54 am
Bad Hair Worst MET Sisters: Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen These two. And I’m usually an Olsen apologist. But Ashley totally missed the point here and you’d think Mary-Kate would embrace the punk but instead both of them seemed to be under the impression that the MET Gala theme this year was Shades of the Orient. What’s By Lainey • May 07, 2013 07:44 am
Style Best MET sisters: Dakota & Elle Fanning Both in Rodarte. I like the symmetry of this. It’s like each Mulleavy gets a Fanning. And they’re coordinated too! This is a great sheer panelled dress on Dakota, 19. Because it’s revealing without being risqué. You see how it offers virtually no side-breast? I have to By Lainey • May 07, 2013 07:32 am
Slumming Slum Love at the MET Gala: JLO & Casper Bear She had to, didn’t she? JLO and the Slum Bear were in Miami yesterday. Click here if you missed that post. And I wrote that I hoped they would stay there...even though there would be some enjoyment in seeing Gwyneth and her homies meangirl the sh-t out of By Lainey • May 07, 2013 07:19 am
Met Gala 2013 MET Most Low End: Emma Watson NO. It seems impossible. And your first instinct is to argue because that’s our Hermione. It’s Emma Watson. She can do Burberry and Rodarte, she can be Chanel and Christopher Kane, and even though Emma is many things and has been described many ways, she’s almost never By Lainey • May 07, 2013 07:04 am
Met Gala 2013 MET Cavalli but not Cavalli: Amanda Seyfried Duana and I disagree on Amanda Seyfried, the new face of Givenchy, in Givenchy. She’s into it. I thought it was Cavalli. This is how they parade onto yachts in Cannes, the Euro escorts looking for a Russian billionaire. Proof? The back. What do you call it when there’ By Lainey • May 07, 2013 06:56 am
Style Best MET Eyebrows: Lily Collins Here’s how you do a bold eyebrow for Punk Night at the MET Gala. Lily already has famously thick eyebrows. And she built around them for the evening. The dress is Moschino. It’s reasonably dark and gothy. Unlike Ginnifer Goodwin, it’s a great accent for what’s By Lainey • May 07, 2013 06:48 am
Bad Style The MET Anti-Rooney: Kate Mara 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 By Lainey • May 07, 2013 06:27 am
Style Best MET White: Rooney Mara Some of you have written to me comparing Rooney Mara's white Givenchy to Victoria Beckham's glorified housecoat at this event in 2008. Click here for a refresher. Sort of. But this is infinitely superior, non? That zipper detail is amazing. And the winged shoulders too. Also By Lainey • May 07, 2013 06:17 am
Bad Style 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& By Lainey • May 07, 2013 06:04 am
Met Gala 2013 MET Boring: Blake Lively edition You know, I think I almost prefer what she wore the last time she was at the MET Gala in 2011. Last year she skipped the event after 4 in a row because Scarjo decided to go instead. But do you remember? She was orange and it was a Chanel By Lainey • May 07, 2013 05:54 am
Style MET Mesh: Miley Cyrus If there was one look that was perfect for one person, it was this Marc Jacobs on Miley Cyrus. She's not going to a baptism. She's not going to a wedding. She's 20 years old. She's at the MET Gala. And they& By Lainey • May 07, 2013 05:48 am
Gorgessity Best MET Eyes: Taylor Swift Certainly not what I would have predicted at the beginning of the night. And this is certainly not as punk as it gets. Probably not punk at all. For Taylor Swift though, it’s definitely not her usual hand hearts. Does that deserve some credit? She looks really, really good By Lainey • May 07, 2013 05:34 am
