Assy Style Emily Blunt: No MET Risk You know I love Emily Blunt. And you further know Emily Blunt can take a fashion risk. Well…. I wrote that sentence, and then I found myself in the position of having to back it up, and actually there isn’t that much. Like, she wore a bright green gown By Duana • May 05, 2015 08:21 am
Assy Style JLO’s MET Dragon It’s Versace. But it could also have been Zuhair Murad. What’s the difference? Beading held together by pantyhose – who can tell it apart? Doesn’t matter if there’s a dragon because f-ck, I’m so over it. I’m so over JLO in these kinds of dresses. By Lainey • May 05, 2015 07:37 am
Aging Gorgessity Madonna & Katy Perry: MET Moschino If you’d have asked me who I would have predicted to pull out the ching-chong eyes before the MET Gala, I would have told you Katy Perry. Dakota Johnson would not have been on my radar. Maybe it’s because I’m so surprised that Katy wasn’t offensive By Lainey • May 05, 2015 07:30 am
Assy Style Dakota Johnson: MET Eyes So… Dakota Johnson. In Chanel. Nothing in the dress speaks to the theme of the MET Gala. And then you look at her eyes. And because it’s the MET Gala and the theme is China: Through The Looking Glass, and her dress isn’t China at all, now I’ By Lainey • May 05, 2015 07:19 am
MET Gala 2015 Elizabeth Banks: No Effie at the MET Gala I wish I loved this on Elizabeth Banks. That is, I do, on some level – the colour is perfect on her, and the cut-outs are cool while still being on trend. She looks fantastic, and the hair is fierce instead of glam, and she’s giving good face in the By Duana • May 05, 2015 07:13 am
MET Gala 2015 Miley Cyrus: MET Gala recycle I liked it better in 2013 when she wore Marc Jacobs and it was punk. Click here for a refresher. So this Alexander Wang feels a little recycled. That said, with her history of cultural appropriation, maybe it was a good idea to play it safe. What I like most By Lainey • May 05, 2015 06:56 am
Gorgessity Keri Russell: MET Gala green feathers “Do you want to do Keri Russell?” Lainey asks. She knows I’ll say yes, because I love Elizabeth Jennings so much, and weirdly because none of you are watching the show, it seems as though The Americans is my personal secret, and further seems as though only I can By Duana • May 05, 2015 06:49 am
MET Gala 2015 Lady Gaga: Empress at the MET I wrote earlier about the Empress Dowager Cixi in the Fan Bingbing post – click here if you missed it. Fan Bingbing was what I imagined a modern Cixi would look like. Lady Gaga, in Alexander Wang for Balenciaga, however was probably the closest interpretation of the outer robes that Cixi By Lainey • May 05, 2015 06:42 am
MET Gala 2015 Kerry Washington: MET too sweet, too pretty This is not the thing. It’s not because it’s pink, or because it’s big. Because as we all know, this is a costume gala and big and over the top are totally fine. But this is wrinkly and shiny and not done up like the more exuberant By Duana • May 05, 2015 06:34 am
MET Gala 2015 Jessica Chastain: MET Most Frustrating Jessica Chastain wore gold Givenchy at the MET Gala. She also wore Givenchy at the Oscars. I don’t ever want to see that dress again but if you do, or if you can’t recall it, click here for a refresher. As I said at the time, I love By Lainey • May 05, 2015 06:04 am
MET Gala 2015 Carey Mulligan: MET Gala wrong shoes I like Carey Mulligan from afar better than I like it up close. One of the best things about her is that she always kind of seems amused in pictures – I think it’s just the way she places her mouth – but this utterly matte lip works for that. She By Duana • May 05, 2015 05:54 am
MET Gala 2015 Olivia Munn: MET Gala ombre This J Mendel on Olivia Munn is a shrug for me…at the MET Gala. At the Golden Globes? All over it. The falling sleeves really flatter the shoulders. And it’s still sexy without being tight and clingy. What do you think of her nails though? The matching ombre. By Lainey • May 05, 2015 05:47 am
MET Gala 2015 Karen Elson: MET Gala Also-Ran Karen Elson looks awesome, but her night was ruined as soon as SJP hit the carpet, because she became the ‘other’ one in a headpiece. Every dramatic move that Elson made – big red skirt, big gold necklace, who are we kidding, that tiara, which under any other circumstances would have By Duana • May 05, 2015 05:34 am
Assy Style Rachel Weisz: Worst MET Disappointment Was it a last minute decision? Like, she wasn’t intending to go but decided to go anyway and just yanked something serviceable out of the closet that didn’t need to be pressed? Then again, it’s Chanel. I’ve no doubt Rachel Weisz has some Chanel lying around By Lainey • May 05, 2015 02:50 am
Style Allison Williams at the MET Gala: her best dress Allison Williams doesn’t usually do it for me on a red carpet. And I don’t often enjoy a red dress on a red carpet either. Especially this shade of red, where you can’t tell the difference between the dress and the carpet. Also, tulle. Don’t have By Lainey • May 05, 2015 02:26 am
Gossip Genie Michael B Jordan’s first MET Gala Well done. Michael B Jordan is the male counterpart to Courtney Easton. They’re both in Dolce&Gabbana. And it’s the fabric that sets this apart from just a regular tuxedo. It’s luxurious. It’s old and modern at the same time. It has to be worn By Lainey • May 05, 2015 02:16 am
