MET Gala 2017 Halle Berry: MET Worst Dressed 2017 (Duana) I had to think about this one. I knew Halle Berry was right at the bottom of the list, but it took me a minute to figure out why. You probably got there before me, right? This look is, on its own, not bad. It’s not avant-garde or By Duana • May 02, 2017 01:53 pm
Style Solange: MET Best Dressed 2017 (Duana) Well. I mean, of course it’s not surprising that Solange is Best Dressed. In fact, she’s been using the MET Gala as her personal runway for years—a place where she is, in a different way than Rihanna, expected to reign. But man, I didn’t know it By Duana • May 02, 2017 01:17 pm
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 CELINE DION: Best MET Rookie Lainey and Lorella and I talk about Celine a fair bit. Mostly we talk about Celine and Rene. How bananas it all was. How much she loved him. She grieved more than anyone will ever grieve. She mourned! Wearing black lace! It’s like an opera taking place in real By Duana • May 02, 2017 12:44 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
MET Gala 2017 Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds: MET Obligation You know I have opinions. And we’ll get to those in just a moment. But first I find myself having to say something… if not in Blake Lively’s defense, then on her behalf: We stay up all night to write, and it’s inevitable that sometimes I forget By Duana • May 02, 2017 12:00 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
Style Janelle Monae & Chrissy Teigen: Best MET Feather Bombs Officially, my assignment sheet also includes John Legend, but can we acknowledge what we know? JL, you look great, it’s not about you, we gotta go. Okay. These dresses are kin to one another—not yin and yang, more like Big and Little Sis. But they’re both about By Duana • May 02, 2017 11:19 am
MET Gala 2017 Kerry Washington vs. Lily Collins: MET Dueling Bobs No, of course it doesn’t have to be a competition. But when two women both wear a distinctive hairstyle that’s nothing like their own (and is very obviously a tribute to Rei Kawakubo) you tend to wind up putting their attempts beside one another. One of the reasons By Duana • May 02, 2017 10:46 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 By Lainey • May 02, 2017 10:22 am
MET Gala 2017 Katy Perry: MET Costume You’re lucky, Katy Perry. You’re the co-chair of the event, which is also called the Costume Institute Gala, and that article about you in Vogue inspired a super-ranty episode of Show Your Work where we complimented you for being interested in learning more and being more. By Duana • May 02, 2017 09:49 am
MET Gala 2017 Dakota Johnson: MET Gala’s Most Confusing I like Dakota Johnson’s relationship with Gucci because they are doing the “ugly expensive” thing really well right now and it completely suits her vibe. When Dakota wears something “unlikable” (ie: something that will get her on a Worst Dressed list in a celebrity weekly), I feel like she By Maria • May 02, 2017 09:30 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
MET Gala 2017 Matthew Rhys & Keri Russell: Best MET Story When we divide up the people we’re going to write about at LaineyGossip, some are for fighting over—wait for that later today—and some are just givens. Nobody would even have to blink before handing me Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys but you know what? I’m gonna By Duana • May 02, 2017 08:51 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 By Lainey • May 02, 2017 08:38 am
MET Gala 2017 Katie Holmes: MET Fudge I hesitated on that title. But I couldn’t think of another way to describe what Katie Holmes is doing in this outfit. You know when you try to get away with something? When you know what you’ve worked on isn’t exactly the answer to the question, but By Duana • May 02, 2017 08:30 am
