Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Lupita’s purple pleats The pleats on this dress start below the pleats. This is the special feature. And I’m totally into it. Also SO into her hair.

Theatre Nerd Danai Gurira: Tony nominations at the MET Gala Anna Wintour is a tastemaker, and last year, she helped relaunch the Tonys as a must-watch event by upping the glamour on the red carpet.

MET Gala 2016 Michael B Jordan: MET Gala short pants I am trying so hard to stan my eyes into seeing Michael B Jordan’s short pants in a positive way. Up top, the jacket with gold V? Gorgeous.

Hair Lupita Nyong’o: Best MET Save Not gonna lie… I was disappointed in Lupita Nyong’o’s dress. I saw the dress before I saw her face. This dress is just so… Kate Hudson, you know? You know.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Lupita’s kitten heel Good dress. It’s Lupita. She’s a standard for herself. But… This kitten heel is killing me. It’s especially unattractive from the front and side. Even she can’t save it. By Lainey • Mar 11, 2016 01:30 pm
