Bad Style Met Pathetic: Kristen Bell And... sadly... Isla Fisher. There are so many things I cherish about my friend Laura but nothing more than the glee with which she hates on Kristen Bell. Laura is also my producer – in Cannes, at the Oscars, all over the world including Sundance where we forever bonded over mutual By Lainey • May 03, 2011 07:04 am
Style Best Met Black: Leighton Meester Maybe I’m partial to this because it’s a dress I would totally buy for myself... if I could afford Louis Vuitton. Love it so much. SO MUCH. And on her it’s just so well done. The sleek ponytail, the subdued makeup, the earrings... It’s perfect. But. By Lainey • May 03, 2011 06:48 am
Girly Throw Downs Met Worst Sateen: Madonna Stella McCartney is obviously trying to stay out of it, whatever it is between Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna. She dressed them both. Madonna however did not sit with Stella and her usual girls. G and Stella were with Kate Hudson and Rashida Jones and Iman and I think Rihanna, while By Lainey • May 03, 2011 06:29 am
Style Best Met Colour: Jennifer Lopez I already know we’re going to fight about this. We might fight about this harder than anything else we fight about all day. Because I get it, you hate the f-ckin’ floral shrug. You’re offended by the floral shrug. It’s not my favourite, no, I’m not By Lainey • May 03, 2011 06:16 am
Style Best Met Sateen: Freida Pinto You know sateen can be trouble as a rule. At etalk our producers have a no sateen policy when it comes to live events. Especially Michelle. You’ve already heard me too many times complaining about imaginary lumps and bumps. Even here, on Freida Pinto, there are a few. Without By Lainey • May 03, 2011 06:03 am
Met Gala 2011 Met Chaise: Kristen Stewart Well, the back is certainly better than the front. To me the zigzag on it though might be a little extra, kinda like crinkle cut fries, and unnecessary with all the business happening in the pattern, but it’s definitely an improvement on the front which is too heavy across By Lainey • May 03, 2011 05:45 am
Girly Throw Downs Met Glee-off: Dianna Agron & Lea Michele How did they both end up in red? They can try to convince me until they’re red in the face that they did it “on purpose” but there is no way I’d believe it. I would however totally buy it if you tell me in two weeks that By Lainey • May 03, 2011 05:28 am
Posing Met Back-Hard Pose-Hard: Renee Zellweger As I’ve already noted on previous occasions, it is not a relaxing exercise watching Renee Zellweger posing on a carpet. So much effort is involved. The first time I covered the Costume Institute Gala it was with my friend Lara – hi Lara!!! – and we were obviously jerking off over By Lainey • May 03, 2011 05:09 am
Bad Style Met Disappointing: Naomi Watts Jesus. What just happened? I can see the seam on the shoulder because it’s sheer overlay which... gross. As in from the bowels of bad bridal, you know? All of it. From the belt to the cascading bedazzlement and again the no-colourness that seemed to prevail last night, this By Lainey • May 03, 2011 04:48 am
Style Except for Daphne Guinness ... This is a continuation of the thought expressed in the SJP article. About no one really bringing it. But for Daphne Guinness. She’s 43. An artist, an heiress, once married to a Greek shipping tycoon, these are the people who exist on yachts and in castles, who can afford By Lainey • May 03, 2011 04:34 am
Style Met Sober: SJP I mean sober as in serious, but I can understand why you might think it’s the other way. Her husband however wasn’t ignoring her as her date last night. So there’s that. It was no surprise that Sarah Jessica Parker chose McQueen last night to honour the By Lainey • May 03, 2011 04:21 am
Bad Style Worst Met Colour: Rashida Jones Michelle sent me a note last night when all of us started hitting the wires to see the photos as they we released. Her message was simple: “How can this happen to someone so beautiful?” It’s true. Rashida Jones is beautiful. And she is dressed up in all kinds By Lainey • May 03, 2011 04:00 am
Style Met Try: Demi Moore The Royal Wedding was on Friday. And showing up in a fascinator like this to the Met Gala in New York three days later is kinda like saying, I really, really wanted to be invited but I wasn’t so I’m wearing what I would have worn there instead. By Lainey • May 03, 2011 03:52 am
Bad Style Met without the braid: Rihanna Stella McCartney had some big names in her clothes last night. Madonna and Gwyneth (more on them later), Kate Hudson, as always, and Rihanna too, in a one shoulder black lace which, I mean it’s not something I’d pick for myself, but on Rihanna it fit beautifully, it’ By Lainey • May 03, 2011 03:41 am
Maple Leaf Is this your Met Best? Diane Kruger&Joshua Jackson Have been hearing from many of you over email and Twitter this morning. Almost everyone is into Diane Kruger as styled by Jason Wu. No, it certainly doesn’t suck. But I can’t say it’s my best. Maybe it’s because Jason Wu, while popular and talented and By Lainey • May 03, 2011 03:28 am
Style Met Olsens: what did you expect? I don’t know why people bother tutting about what the Olsens wear, especially to events like these. At this point, does anyone really think that they’re hoping to make it onto People.com’s Best Dressed of the Night? Mary-Kate would probably prune herself to death if she By Lainey • May 03, 2011 03:19 am
