Style Diane Kruger: Best Met Colour Very much like this purple mostly because I never thought I’d see her in it. Same goes for the shape of the Prada dress. Again with those goddamn feathers. But here’s where style instinct comes into play. Diane Kruger resists the urge to trick out her hair like By Lainey • May 08, 2012 11:15 am
Style Kirsten Dunst & Rodarte at the Met Gala 2012 What’s the difference between Mary Kate Olsen and Kirsten Dunst? With MK I feel like she goes out of her way to be Other, so that you can smell her Other from the next room, forcing its way into your room, until you throw your hands up and surrender.

Met Gala 2012 Met Olsen: Mary Kate If Mary Kate Olsen showed up at the Met Gala and won the majority of the style vote from the masses, in her mind she would have failed. MK isn’t interested in appealing to the PEOPLE.com readership. Sure, I get that. I get that this is a statement, By Lainey • May 08, 2012 10:42 am
Style Cate Blanchett: Met Gala disappointment Sorry. I’m not saying it sucks. I’m not saying it’s Paula Patton. But by Cate Blanchett standards, I am underwhelmed. It’s fitted black with a high collar and another f-cking feathered skirt. And it’s McQueen. It has to be the tamest, most restrained McQueen in By Lainey • May 08, 2012 10:37 am
Girly Throw Downs Kate Bosworth: Met Matchy Matchy Kate Bosworth and Gwyneth Paltrow both wore Prada. I’m ...not sure G would have been aware of that beforehand. You know. Not overly impressed with the feathers here because it only works on someone with no curves and no body fat - trust me, regular size women look super By Lainey • May 08, 2012 10:30 am
Bad Style Kristen Wiig: Worst Met Colour Orange is not her colour. And this dress by Stella McCartney is NOT FOR THE MET GALA. Why am I shouting? Because I am mad at her. She was almost the overall Worst. What is that lace? What is that material? What is this effort? You don’t want to By Lainey • May 08, 2012 10:26 am
Style Christina Ricci: Best Met Substitute for Victoria Beckham Look at her. Look at her trying her best to fill in for Victoria Beckham who did not attend the Met Gala this year. In her place then, the substitute Christina Ricci, posing as hard as we’ve ever seen her pose. Put it this way - Lea Michele was By Lainey • May 08, 2012 10:23 am
Thinnification Met Gala Thinnification: Ashley Greene She’s wearing white Donna Karan. Basically a wedding dress. You’ve seen it a thousand times. What’s new here, or new-ish, at least since last year’s Met Gala, is Ashley Greene’s thinnification. Ashley Greene was always fit. She had a great body. Slim but strong and By Lainey • May 08, 2012 10:16 am
Met Gala 2012 Met Gala Shrug: Claire Danes There’s nothing objectionable here, no. And I might have liked where J Mendel was going with a white tuxedo dress because I do love the lapels. But maybe on someone else, someone less...shruggy. Maybe Christina Ricci who could have worn it with more theatricality and more interesting footwear. By Lainey • May 08, 2012 10:08 am
Style Best Met Hair: Solange Knowles Sasha message me this morning: “Haven’t seen all the pics yet of Costume Gala. Like I’m dying to sit at my desk and spend hours. But have you seen Solange??? F-ck me YES!” My response: “I’m so over peplum.” Sasha: “Me too! But come on. She looks By Lainey • May 08, 2012 10:03 am
Style Best Met Print: Bee Shaffer by her mother It’s the anniversary of the time Anna Wintour told Lara and me with her eyes that we were beneath her, and would be forever. Click here if you were not reading this site back then. This meant more to us than any other validation in our lives. In the By Lainey • May 08, 2012 10:00 am
Bad Style Met Worst Red: Eva Mendes No idea. NO idea how this happens. And how Eva Mendes ends up in it. Julianna Margulies, since she seems to enjoy ceramic sh-t all over her dress, fine. But how Prada paired this with Eva Mendes, I can’t understand. It’s a terrible combination. And she looks overwhelmed By Lainey • May 08, 2012 09:52 am
Bad Style Jessica Chastain’s messy Met Louis Vuitton Some material just doesn’t travel well. They say this gown was a production. That it required 200 hours of embroidering. But isn’t all that hard work wasted on a dress that appears so wrinkly under the light? You can see a thousand tiny folds and creases all over, By Lainey • May 08, 2012 09:39 am
Bad Style Met Bridesmaid Lilac: Paula Patton Oh. Her again. Behaving the way she did at the Golden Globes - click here for a refresher. And in pretty much the same taffeta gown except this time in bridesmaid lilac instead of bridesmaid yellow. Paula Patton basically wore THIS to the Met Gala. They call it Vera Wang. By Lainey • May 08, 2012 09:33 am
Bad Style Best & Worst Met Peplum: Amy Poehler & Elizabeth Banks There were several peplums represented last night. To me Amy Poehler wore hers best. She looked the most comfortable. And really, really confident. No clunky accessories around her neck, nothing extra about the hair, although, God, I really wish they’d let it die, that skirt feathering from 2006.

Met Gala 2012 Best Met Ass: Emily Blunt If we’re comparing bright Calvin Kleins in that seemingly heavy, wrinkle-free material, I’ll take Emma Stone’s orange at the Golden Globes in 2011 - click here to see. There’s something about the tank design here on Emily Blunt’s, and the band across the back, that By Lainey • May 08, 2012 09:14 am
