Gorgessity Pull back at the Met: Rihanna in Tom Ford Succeeding where Cameron Diaz couldn’t... Rihanna doesn’t get enough credit for how fashionably astute she is. You expect her to show up here with horns or vagina-riding a surfboard, some kind of crazy, and instead she lets Tom Ford do exactly what Tom Ford does best. Tom Ford By Lainey • May 08, 2012 02:02 pm
Style Met Gala Ribs & Breasts: Gwyneth Paltrow Writing “ribs & breasts” just made me hungry. Have been eating clean for days. God I would love a rib. Just one rib. Gwyneth Paltrow gave us ribs last night at the Met Gala with a serving of side breast. I don’t actually mind the side breast. That’s By Lainey • May 08, 2012 01:41 pm
Gorgessity Best Met Fringe: Marion Cotillard I’m not a fringe fan. That’s partly feng shui and, well, look at Jessica Biel. We’ll get to her in a minute. If there’s one person who can do a fringe though, it’s Marion Cotillard. The difference? Hers is super choppy and short. With hers By Lainey • May 08, 2012 12:56 pm
Gorgessity Met Worst Couple Try: Gisele Bundchen & Tom Brady Have you read Nicole Krauss’s The History Of Love? It’s such a beautiful, devastating book, you really should if you haven’t already. Anyway, there’s a part near the beginning as we’re being introduced to old Leo Gursky, who seems to finding ways to put off By Lainey • May 08, 2012 12:32 pm
Style Met Gala China Pattern: Sarah Jessica Parker Pretty sure we’re spitting at each other we are fighting so hard over this one. You’re all like what the f-ck, right? But go back to the beginning for the word on boring. Boring is much worse than ugly. And besides, is it ugly? Really? I think it’ By Lainey • May 08, 2012 11:58 am
Style Diane Kruger: Best Met Colour Very much like this purple mostly because I never thought I’d see her in it. Same goes for the shape of the Prada dress. Again with those goddamn feathers. But here’s where style instinct comes into play. Diane Kruger resists the urge to trick out her hair like By Lainey • May 08, 2012 11:15 am
Style Kirsten Dunst & Rodarte at the Met Gala 2012 What’s the difference between Mary Kate Olsen and Kirsten Dunst? With MK I feel like she goes out of her way to be Other, so that you can smell her Other from the next room, forcing its way into your room, until you throw your hands up and surrender. By Lainey • May 08, 2012 11:04 am
Style Cate Blanchett: Met Gala disappointment Sorry. I’m not saying it sucks. I’m not saying it’s Paula Patton. But by Cate Blanchett standards, I am underwhelmed. It’s fitted black with a high collar and another f-cking feathered skirt. And it’s McQueen. It has to be the tamest, most restrained McQueen in By Lainey • May 08, 2012 10:37 am
Girly Throw Downs Kate Bosworth: Met Matchy Matchy Kate Bosworth and Gwyneth Paltrow both wore Prada. I’m ...not sure G would have been aware of that beforehand. You know. Not overly impressed with the feathers here because it only works on someone with no curves and no body fat - trust me, regular size women look super By Lainey • May 08, 2012 10:30 am
Style Christina Ricci: Best Met Substitute for Victoria Beckham Look at her. Look at her trying her best to fill in for Victoria Beckham who did not attend the Met Gala this year. In her place then, the substitute Christina Ricci, posing as hard as we’ve ever seen her pose. Put it this way - Lea Michele was By Lainey • May 08, 2012 10:23 am
Style Best Met Hair: Solange Knowles Sasha message me this morning: “Haven’t seen all the pics yet of Costume Gala. Like I’m dying to sit at my desk and spend hours. But have you seen Solange??? F-ck me YES!” My response: “I’m so over peplum.” Sasha: “Me too! But come on. She looks By Lainey • May 08, 2012 10:03 am
Style Best Met Print: Bee Shaffer by her mother It’s the anniversary of the time Anna Wintour told Lara and me with her eyes that we were beneath her, and would be forever. Click here if you were not reading this site back then. This meant more to us than any other validation in our lives. In the By Lainey • May 08, 2012 10:00 am
Bad Style Best & Worst Met Peplum: Amy Poehler & Elizabeth Banks There were several peplums represented last night. To me Amy Poehler wore hers best. She looked the most comfortable. And really, really confident. No clunky accessories around her neck, nothing extra about the hair, although, God, I really wish they’d let it die, that skirt feathering from 2006. In By Lainey • May 08, 2012 09:28 am
Style Best Met Red: Emma Stone As noted many times, I’m no fan of the red dress. The problem with the red dress on a red carpet is that it bleeds into the carpet. And also every time a designer sends a red dress down a runway it’s always made for the vixen, mega By Lainey • May 08, 2012 09:00 am
Style Met Change: Renee Zellweger Renee Zellweger and Carolina Herrera are like... I mean it’s a longstanding style collaboration. And, frankly, as I’ve noted before, it was getting kinda stale. So this, this is a very pleasant surprise. Here’s Renee with Peter Dundas, artistic director at Emilio Pucci. With Renee, an open By Lainey • May 08, 2012 08:31 am
Style Met Best Costume: Florence Welch You want a costume? THIS is a costume. THIS is art. It’s exquisite. It’s a statement. It’s requires a specific wearer. And you can’t wear it anywhere else. You can’t even find it anywhere else. Unlike what we just saw with Michael Kors and Alba By Lainey • May 08, 2012 08:24 am
