Assy 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.

Assy 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
Style Met Boring: Zoe Saldana It’s bright yellow and I’m calling it boring. Because it is. It’s strapless. It’s that trademark Calvin Klein seemingly super-industrial wrinkle resistant material. There’s a belt at the waist. With some flaps at that back. And... that’s it. But... This is Zoe Saldana. I By Lainey • May 03, 2011 02:48 am
Style Best Swift Styling: Taylor Swift This may be my favourite Taylor Swift of all time. The way she’s been styled, this might her best ever. And it goes back to what I said about Beyonce – taking her own steeze and twisting it out for the Met Gala on a night for McQueen. That would By Lainey • May 03, 2011 02:38 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Similar Met Bumps: Kate Hudson & Jessica Alba I read somewhere, I can’t remember where, that Alba’s ensemble last night was one of the best. What? This is Jessica Alba, who is pregnant, in a no-colour Ralph Lauren, and I don’t see how this can be characterised as anything other than a mess. Look at By Lainey • May 03, 2011 02:23 am
Assy Style Met Prom: Ashley Greene & Jennifer Hudson The Met Gala is not the prom. But you know, without fail, some people come to this thing thinking it’s like their own wedding. This explains why Jennifer Hudson chose Vera Wang. That’s a wedding dress, it’s a prom dress, it’s certainly not a high fashion By Lainey • May 03, 2011 02:05 am
Style Met Fishtails: Beyonce & Christina Ricci Have a feeling we’ll be fighting about this one. Christina Ricci is in Zac Posen. It’s exquisite. I mean, from a design perspective, it’s all you want at the Met Gala. Drama, imagination, quality, craftsmanship... But I feel like it might be the right dress on the By Lainey • May 03, 2011 01:45 am
Assy Style 17-off at the Met: Dakota & Saoirse I suppose, if there’s anyone who could get away with the Valentino flower tulle explosion worn by Dakota Fanning at the Met Gala it was probably Dakota Fanning. She’s 17. Prom is still within the parametres of her actual experience. But f-ck is this thing ever ugly. And By Lainey • May 03, 2011 01:31 am
Style Best Met Photobomb: Gisele & Ginnifer Check out Gisele Bundchen’s face behind Ginnifer Goodwin last night. Amazing, right? Shall we Photo Assumption? Errrrm... who invited all these Bs? Is that the girl from Twilight with the really bad pixie wig? To be fair, Ginnifer Goodwin is a few steps ahead of Ashley Greene. And her By Lainey • May 03, 2011 01:09 am
Style The Costume Institute Gala 2011 Before we begin blogging the Met Gala and the photos... It’s the Met Gala. So... there’s some license here on the edge if you want it. Drama is good. Weird could be good too. Remember it’s not the Oscars and Los Angeles. It’s New York. And By Lainey • May 03, 2011 01:00 am
