MET Gala 2015 Kerry Washington: MET too sweet, too pretty This is not the thing. It’s not because it’s pink, or because it’s big. Because as we all know, this is a costume gala and big and over the top are totally fine. But this is wrinkly and shiny and not done up like the more exuberant By Duana • May 05, 2015 06:34 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 Carey Mulligan: MET Gala wrong shoes I like Carey Mulligan from afar better than I like it up close. One of the best things about her is that she always kind of seems amused in pictures – I think it’s just the way she places her mouth – but this utterly matte lip works for that. She By Duana • May 05, 2015 05:54 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
MET Gala 2015 Karen Elson: MET Gala Also-Ran Karen Elson looks awesome, but her night was ruined as soon as SJP hit the carpet, because she became the ‘other’ one in a headpiece. Every dramatic move that Elson made – big red skirt, big gold necklace, who are we kidding, that tiara, which under any other circumstances would have By Duana • May 05, 2015 05:34 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
Bad Style Kate Hudson: Worst Gold at the MET As I noted in the open, gold, red, and green, these are the favoured Chinese colours. There was a lot of gold, red, and green at the MET Gala. Some of it done well, with just the right amount of Chinese cheesy, and some of it… well… Kate Hudson in By Lainey • May 05, 2015 01:01 am
Style Gabrielle Union & Dwyane Wade: MET Military I love what’s happening underneath Dwyane Wade’s jacket. And I apologise in advance for mixing up my references but it reminds me of an old European army uniform; it reminds me of Les Miserables. Exciting, right? Because men’s fashion doesn’t often surprise you. This is flair. By Lainey • May 05, 2015 12:44 am
Bad Style Kristen Wiig: MET Yellow Please note that yellow is not gold. On this night, it doesn’t substitute for gold. Here’s what Duana texted me about Kristen Wiig’s dress: Also f-ck off, Kristen Wiig. Stop it now. And my response: That yellow made me ANGRY. Angry because … Prabal Gurung isn’t usually By Lainey • May 05, 2015 12:32 am
MET Gala 2015 Carina Lau: Best MET 50 I’ve seen Carina Lau in way more over the top dresses. But you can’t do a one-armed cape and get too crazy everywhere else. Carina turns 50 at the end of this year. 50! With a (Molly Shannon) kick! Like I always say, the doctors over in Asia By Lainey • May 05, 2015 12:26 am
