Style Ruth Negga: MET Best Dressed 2017 (Lainey) I promise that we try. After the Oscars and the Globes and the Emmys and especially the MET Gala, when we break down the list of coverage and consider the assignments, Duana and I try mix it up, we try not to keep going to the same names for best By Lainey • May 02, 2017 01:01 pm
MET Gala 2017 JLO & ARod: the MET Gala premiere Like Selena Gomez and The Weeknd, the MET Gala was the first official red carpet for Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez. It wasn’t hard to predict. I called it yesterday but we were alllllll calling it yesterday. We’ve been calling it since the moment they started. Um, two By Lainey • May 02, 2017 12:18 pm
Bad Style Gisele & Tom: Lazy & Corny at the MET Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady did not attend the MET Gala last year. If she wore what she wore last night to the event last year, we might not have a problem. Gisele’s in Stella McCartney. And she told Andre Leon Talley that it’s “100 percent sustainable, baby” By Lainey • May 02, 2017 11:35 am
MET Gala 2017 Selena, Abel, and Bella: the MET Faceoff Sorry. SORRY. That word is lame as f-ck. “Faceoff.” But I couldn’t quite land on another one. Confrontation seems too serious. Triangle isn’t accurate. And of course it all sucks anyway because this is two girls petty-ing over a guy, a situation in which there can be no By Lainey • May 02, 2017 10:22 am
Style Zoe Kravitz: the MET’s punk pixie Zoe Kravitz has an advantage. Several, actually. First… you can’t get away from the face. Her face, it’s absurd. Like absurdly exquisite. Like intoxicatingly exquisite. Second though, right now, it’s the hair. Right now, the shock blonde pixie cut is having a moment. But no one is By Lainey • May 02, 2017 09:20 am
Style Tracee Ellis Ross: Best First MET What did I tell you yesterday about my girl? Allow me to quote myself. Because I haven’t slept, and I can’t come up with any new words but also because Tracee Ellis Ross just killed it at her first MET Gala and I f-cking called it on the By Lainey • May 02, 2017 08:38 am
MET Gala 2017 Lupita Nyong’o: MET Disappointment I’m sorry, I hate to say it. Because of course this is Lupita. And we wait for Lupita, always. But this time, it wasn’t worth it – at least not the dress. She made up for it in another way though and we’ll get to that in a By Lainey • May 02, 2017 07:28 am
MET Gala 2017 Madonna & Paris Jackson: the missing MET moment Maybe the moment has happened already and I just haven’t caught up to it yet. There’s so much on social media it’s been impossible to keep writing and see every possible photo, every Instagram story, every Snapchat video. As it is, I just sent Duana a GLORIOUS By Lainey • May 02, 2017 06:48 am
MET Gala 2017 Reese Witherspoon: MET Most Improved I know. I can’t believe it either. But let’s remind ourselves what Reese Witherspoon looked like the last time she was at the MET Gala, in 2015, when the theme was China: Through The Looking Glass: Basically, she didn’t bother. Here’s what Reese wore to the By Lainey • May 02, 2017 02:33 am
MET Gala 2017 Lena Dunham & Amy Schumer: the MET Forgiven Lena Dunham and Amy Schumer were at the MET Gala in 2016. And then they bitched about the experience. Lena claimed that she was rejected by Odell Beckham Jr and apologised for it later and Amy called the experience a “punishment” and insisted it would be her last time. So, By Lainey • May 02, 2017 02:00 am
MET Gala 2017 Pharrell & Helen: the MET Chosen Someone was going to show up in a classic Comme Des Garcons signature piece – the kind of piece that isn’t conventionally “wearable” but that is unmistakably Rei Kawakubo. A garment that’s also a sculpture. The only question: who would have the honour, who would be the chosen? Because By Lainey • May 02, 2017 01:30 am
MET Gala 2017 Jaden Smith: Best MET Accessory This is the one we might be fighting about the hardest. Lainey, you’re just trying to be different. Trying too hard to be different. Jaden tries too hard to be different. Here’s my response to that: He IS different. If you don’t think he’s different then By Lainey • May 02, 2017 12:49 am
MET Gala 2017 Zendaya & Jessica Chastain: Best & Worst Belles of the MET Gala Is it possible to ignore the theme of the MET Gala and still somehow honour it? Of course. Rei Kawakubo is a fashion contrarian. To the extreme. So, if you are going to be contrary, in the spirit of Rei Kawakubo, you must go all the way. Which is exactly By Lainey • May 02, 2017 12:30 am
MET Gala 2017 Intro for May 2, 2017 Dear Gossips, Sarah Jessica Parker was not at the MET Gala last night. And she was missed. She was f-cking missed. You know what would be a disaster for Anna Wintour? If both SJP and Rihanna didn’t show. Let this be a prayer: please, in the future, there should By Lainey • May 01, 2017 11:50 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Tracee’s pre-MET glasses Tracee Ellis Ross is also in New York today, also possibly for the MET Gala. And she too has never been. If she’s going, I’m putting a lot of hope in her, hope that she will interpret the theme, honour Rei Kawakubo with structure, an unconventional shape, some By Lainey • May 01, 2017 04:28 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Halle’s pre-MET raincoat OMGGG is Halle Berry going to the MET Gala? I don’t ever remember seeing her there. But she’s in New York today. And almost everyone who’s in NYC today is there for the MET Gala. If she’s going, I’m predicting she’ll be in Versace. By Lainey • May 01, 2017 04:15 pm
