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
Met Gala 2012 Sofia’s Met silhouette Only Sofia Vergara could have rescued this Marchesa. It’s not the dress, it’s all the wearer. On anyone else this is ghastly. But that’s the Sofia silhouette. It’s kind of the same silhouette she’s been working on every carpet for at least 6 months. Of By Lainey • May 08, 2012 09:06 am
Style Best Met Red: Emma Stone As noted many times, I’m no fan of the red dress. The problem with the red dress on a red carpet is that it bleeds into the carpet. And also every time a designer sends a red dress down a runway it’s always made for the vixen, mega By Lainey • May 08, 2012 09:00 am
Girly Throw Downs Scarjo gets the Met Is that how it works? Because Blake Lively is a regular at this event. And she didn’t show. Oh I’m sure there’s an official reason that works for everyone, a reason that doesn’t involve petty gossip. But still. And yet. Blake considers herself a fashion girl.

Bad Style Met Gala 2012 Marchesa Victim: Leighton Meester Blake Lively opted not to go and stay in Vancouver with Ryan Reynolds instead. This was Leighton’s time to make her move. And she has proved she can do well at the Met Gala. She was great last year in Louis Vuitton - click here for a refresher - and a By Lainey • May 08, 2012 08:43 am
Bad Style Met Gala TV Girl: Kristen Bell Sometimes...it’ll just never be your league, you know? And that has nothing to do with what you think I think of her. There were several TV girls present last night. All of them were TV girly by Gwyneth Paltrow’s definition. Dianna Agron, totally. Lea Michele, 100%. But By Lainey • May 08, 2012 08:36 am
Style Met Change: Renee Zellweger Renee Zellweger and Carolina Herrera are like... I mean it’s a longstanding style collaboration. And, frankly, as I’ve noted before, it was getting kinda stale. So this, this is a very pleasant surprise. Here’s Renee with Peter Dundas, artistic director at Emilio Pucci. With Renee, an open By Lainey • May 08, 2012 08:31 am
Style Met Best Costume: Florence Welch You want a costume? THIS is a costume. THIS is art. It’s exquisite. It’s a statement. It’s requires a specific wearer. And you can’t wear it anywhere else. You can’t even find it anywhere else. Unlike what we just saw with Michael Kors and Alba By Lainey • May 08, 2012 08:24 am
Met Gala 2012 The Met Gala 2012 Wrap-up Anna Wintour presides over this event. Its official name is the Costume Institute Gala. So, as I say every year, this is NOT the Academy. There is no constituency here from Palm Springs to fellate. The people you want to blow are the precious fashion bitches. In other words, the By Lainey • May 08, 2012 08:09 am

Jeremy Renner Clench up, Legolas! The first time I saw The Avengers, I nearly lost my f-cking mind over this line. There are so many lines. We could totally geek out for an hour on a liveblog just throwing lines back at each other. But this is why I love Tony Stark. Because he’ By Lainey • May 07, 2012 04:26 pm
