Style Tartan Taffeta at the MET: Christina Ricci If it has to be taffeta with asymmetrical hem, then let Vivienne Westwood have at ‘er. And put it on Christina Ricci who always comes to play at the MET Gala. Finally, someone who showed up. Pick something Reese Witherspoon would never be offered. Make sure the construction matches the By Lainey • May 07, 2013 04:36 am
Assy Style Red Taffeta at the MET: Kate Beckinsale Red Taffeta. At the MET Gala. With an asymmetrical hem. It’s offensive. If you have to do taffeta, you do it like Christina Ricci -- more on her later. Red Taffeta you save for Julie Bowen, at the Emmy Awards. Or, you know, for a 60th wedding anniversary. I By Lainey • May 07, 2013 04:27 am
Assy Style WORST MET Eyes: January Jones Here I am in a sequined black dress you could easily find at French Connection, my eyes weirded up with black liner, and I’ll call it enough for punk at the MET Gala. Sure... If you’re Kate Moss, fine. If you’re Chloe Sevigny, OK. But if you’ By Lainey • May 07, 2013 04:17 am
Met Gala 2013 Kerry Washington’s MET gloves Duana and I were discussing Kanye West’s girlfriend’s Givenchy, which I’m convinced was a private joke between Anna Wintour and Riccardo Tisci (I am not buying those pictures, you can see them somewhere else), and she posited that perhaps the only redeeming quality about that dress is By Lainey • May 07, 2013 04:08 am
Assy Style Imitation of Scarjo at the MET: Amber Heard Let me just say it. Because I feel like this is what they want: To convince us that Amber Heard is the new Scarlett Johansson. Amber Heard is not Scarlett Johansson. Johnny Depp can try as hard as he wants to, but it’s not happening. You can keep selling By Lainey • May 07, 2013 03:59 am
Maple Leaf Worst MET Try: Jessica Pare Here’s how Duana described Jessica Pare’s MET Gala look to me over email: “Jessica Pare. Stitches.” It is indeed funny. And it’s supposed to be fun, but not funny. Like, the desired reaction is not to be laughed at. And that’s happening here because while too By Lainey • May 07, 2013 03:51 am
Met Gala 2013 MET Beach: Emma Roberts What are we doing here? Is this a modified Vanessa Hudgens Coachella outfit? Vanessa Hudgens would wear this to the beach. If someone offers you a dress, and someone else describes it as “Vanessa Hudgens beach wear”, this is not a choice for the MET Gala. And certainly not for By Lainey • May 07, 2013 03:41 am
Would You Rather MET Braids: Minka Kelly & Emmy Rossum There were a LOT of braids at the MET Gala last night. As Duana pointed out, it’s like they all think the Khaleesi and Cersei Lannister’s hair counts as punk on its own. I can get down with the braid as part of a punk outfit, and you By Lainey • May 07, 2013 03:35 am
Maple Leaf MET personal style match: Nina Dobrev As you know, my complaint about Nina Dobrev -- who I adore -- has always been that her aesthetic is a little too... Eastern Bloc figure skater. Think ... Katerina Witt. Right? Finally a theme and an event that suits her personal style. This is exactly right. A little tacky, but By Lainey • May 07, 2013 03:23 am
Assy Style MET Debutante Mom: Anna Wintour Anna Wintour wore floral Chanel. And ...no punk. I mean, as the boss lady of the show, this is super weak. And it’s not like she’s never been game. After all, at the Super Heroes themed MET Gala a few years ago, she also wore Chanel with weird By Lainey • May 07, 2013 03:15 am
Met Gala 2013 Intro for May 7, 2013 Dear Gossips, Apart from JLO Slum Loving down the occasion... God that was satisfying. The Dress Porn at the Costume Institute Gala was satisfying, wasn’t it? That’s what’s great about Dress Porn -- even when it’s bad, it’s GREAT. Because sometimes hating is more fun By Lainey • May 07, 2013 03:05 am
