Relationship Assumption MET Most Surprising: Stacy Keibler I don’t hate it. Not at all. It’s far from the worst of the night. Or the most boring. Or the most Try. It’s not a mega standout but that’s OK too. It wouldn’t have been possible for Stacy Keibler, without George Clooney, to rise By Lainey • May 07, 2013 04:56 am
Bad Style MET Most Sympathetic: Kate Upton Last year, Kate Upton, unlike most other models, had to offer to pay her way into the MET Gala. Click here for a refresher. This year, Oh My God, look what happened to her. There is no snark here. There is no pleasure. There is only sympathy, truly. It’s By Lainey • May 07, 2013 04:46 am
Style Tartan Taffeta at the MET: Christina Ricci If it has to be taffeta with asymmetrical hem, then let Vivienne Westwood have at ‘er. And put it on Christina Ricci who always comes to play at the MET Gala. Finally, someone who showed up. Pick something Reese Witherspoon would never be offered. Make sure the construction matches the By Lainey • May 07, 2013 04:36 am
Bad Style Red Taffeta at the MET: Kate Beckinsale Red Taffeta. At the MET Gala. With an asymmetrical hem. It’s offensive. If you have to do taffeta, you do it like Christina Ricci -- more on her later. Red Taffeta you save for Julie Bowen, at the Emmy Awards. Or, you know, for a 60th wedding anniversary. I can’ By Lainey • May 07, 2013 04:27 am
Bad Style WORST MET Eyes: January Jones Here I am in a sequined black dress you could easily find at French Connection, my eyes weirded up with black liner, and I’ll call it enough for punk at the MET Gala. Sure... If you’re Kate Moss, fine. If you’re Chloe Sevigny, OK. But if you’ By Lainey • May 07, 2013 04:17 am
Met Gala 2013 Kerry Washington’s MET gloves Duana and I were discussing Kanye West’s girlfriend’s Givenchy, which I’m convinced was a private joke between Anna Wintour and Riccardo Tisci (I am not buying those pictures, you can see them somewhere else), and she posited that perhaps the only redeeming quality about that dress is By Lainey • May 07, 2013 04:08 am
Bad Style Imitation of Scarjo at the MET: Amber Heard Let me just say it. Because I feel like this is what they want: To convince us that Amber Heard is the new Scarlett Johansson. Amber Heard is not Scarlett Johansson. Johnny Depp can try as hard as he wants to, but it’s not happening. You can keep selling By Lainey • May 07, 2013 03:59 am
Maple Leaf Worst MET Try: Jessica Pare Here’s how Duana described Jessica Pare’s MET Gala look to me over email: “Jessica Pare. Stitches.” It is indeed funny. And it’s supposed to be fun, but not funny. Like, the desired reaction is not to be laughed at. And that’s happening here because while too By Lainey • May 07, 2013 03:51 am
Met Gala 2013 MET Beach: Emma Roberts What are we doing here? Is this a modified Vanessa Hudgens Coachella outfit? Vanessa Hudgens would wear this to the beach. If someone offers you a dress, and someone else describes it as “Vanessa Hudgens beach wear”, this is not a choice for the MET Gala. And certainly not for By Lainey • May 07, 2013 03:41 am
Met Gala 2013 MET Braids: Minka Kelly & Emmy Rossum There were a LOT of braids at the MET Gala last night. As Duana pointed out, it’s like they all think the Khaleesi and Cersei Lannister’s hair counts as punk on its own. I can get down with the braid as part of a punk outfit, and you By Lainey • May 07, 2013 03:35 am
Maple Leaf MET personal style match: Nina Dobrev As you know, my complaint about Nina Dobrev -- who I adore -- has always been that her aesthetic is a little too... Eastern Bloc figure skater. Think ... Katerina Witt. Right? Finally a theme and an event that suits her personal style. This is exactly right. A little tacky, but sassy -- which By Lainey • May 07, 2013 03:23 am
Bad Style MET Debutante Mom: Anna Wintour Anna Wintour wore floral Chanel. And ...no punk. I mean, as the boss lady of the show, this is super weak. And it’s not like she’s never been game. After all, at the Super Heroes themed MET Gala a few years ago, she also wore Chanel with weird By Lainey • May 07, 2013 03:15 am
Met Gala 2013 Intro for May 7, 2013 Dear Gossips, Apart from JLO Slum Loving down the occasion... God that was satisfying. The Dress Porn at the Costume Institute Gala was satisfying, wasn’t it? That’s what’s great about Dress Porn -- even when it’s bad, it’s GREAT. Because sometimes hating is more fun anyway, By Lainey • May 07, 2013 03:05 am
Music Mimi + Miguel = #Beautiful Been listening to this all day. Sasha was on Dean and me right away this morning about it too. She mentioned that Mimi’s voice is still amazing. I had to be the c-nt bitch to wonder if, um, she could throw this down live. BUT... It’s a By Lainey • May 06, 2013 03:34 pm
Lifestyle Sasha Answers: Should I spot my dad? Hi Sasha, I'm looking for an impartial opinion regarding how to deal with family, money and when to give tough love. I'm a graduate student (self-funded/scholarships/generous maternal grandparents) so money is a little tight and I'm counting down the next four By Sasha • May 06, 2013 02:54 pm
Style Who will bring the Punk? There will be a lot of safe tonight at the MET Gala, despite the Punk theme of the event this year. Most actresses in particular just don’t have the imagination or the balls. The punk pressure then may be on the musicians. A press release was just sent out By Lainey • May 06, 2013 02:42 pm
