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
MET Gala 2015 Anne Hathaway: Gold and hooded at the MET This is what being disliked gets you: Freedom. I’m not joking. Anne Hathaway knows a bunch of people have decided they can’t stand her, as though this is the fourth grade. “Let’s all hate Anne today, OK?” This is not new news anymore, and I’m sure By Duana • May 05, 2015 09:40 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? Anna Wintour was at their wedding. Anna had the Clooneys seated at her table. Anna Wintour By Lainey • May 05, 2015 09:34 am
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. I 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! Such bad luck, lah. And insulting. Like if you wore this By Lainey • May 05, 2015 09:06 am
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 I 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 Emily Blunt: No MET Risk You know I love Emily Blunt. And you further know Emily Blunt can take a fashion risk. Well…. I wrote that sentence, and then I found myself in the position of having to back it up, and actually there isn’t that much. Like, she wore a bright green gown By Duana • May 05, 2015 08:21 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 dresses. 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 offensive 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 Elizabeth Banks: No Effie at the MET Gala I wish I loved this on Elizabeth Banks. That is, I do, on some level – the colour is perfect on her, and the cut-outs are cool while still being on trend. She looks fantastic, and the hair is fierce instead of glam, and she’s giving good face in the By Duana • May 05, 2015 07:13 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
Gorgessity Keri Russell: MET Gala green feathers “Do you want to do Keri Russell?” Lainey asks. She knows I’ll say yes, because I love Elizabeth Jennings so much, and weirdly because none of you are watching the show, it seems as though The Americans is my personal secret, and further seems as though only I can By Duana • May 05, 2015 06:49 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
