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 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 By Lainey • May 05, 2015 12:26 am
MET Gala 2015 Derek & Hannah: MET Substitute for Tom & Gisele I’m still not over the fact that Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen weren’t there. Instead we got Derek Jeter and Hannah Davis. OK. I can work with this. Because… I can’t remember the last time Derek Jeter walked a red carpet with a girlfriend. And he never, By Lainey • May 05, 2015 12:16 am
Gorgessity Janis Ian at the MET Gala Full Disclosure: Lizzy Caplan is one of my imaginary BFFs. Party Down's Casey Klein is basically my twin. Anyway, Lainey posted photos of Lizzy on-set of X-Mas with Joseph Gordon-Levitt last September, and wrote, "Finally can it be Lizzy Caplan’s time?". Well, By Joanna • May 05, 2015 12:08 am
Bad Style Emma Roberts: the other MET Chopsticks Not gonna rage too hard on Emma Roberts for the dumbass chopsticks in her hair. You know why? Her dress is punishment enough. She’s like the Kate Upton of 2015. You remember Kate Upton’s appearances at the MET Gala, don’t you? They’re tragic. When Kate Upton By Lainey • May 04, 2015 11:58 pm
Gorgessity Lisa & Lenny: Best MET Parents Their daughter will be seen in the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road, due out in a couple of weeks. So they decided to come together, the entire family. Although, generous, understanding parents that they are, Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz were OK with not posing with Zoe on the carpet. By Lainey • May 04, 2015 11:46 pm
