The Met Gala Red Carpet

I don't usually do a best/worst dressed list, but when I saw these photos this morning, I just couldn't resist.

Hall of Fame


Ashley Olsen in Christian Lacroix - Very typical Ashley.. simple but very chic. Love the detail in the back.
Selma Blair - Love the mesh one shoulder detail, and the bright clutch. She rarely disappoints.
Claudia Schiffer in Versace - This is the kind of dress only models can pull off. Perfection.



Leighton Meester - I love this look! One of my favorites of the night.. quirky and youthful, and perfect with the hair and bold lipstick. Absolute home run.
Kate Bosworth in Stella McCartney - More mesh.. again with the bold lip, stunning. Just wish her face wasn't so shiny...
Jessica Stam in Rodarte & Nicholas Kirkwood heels - I love that she kept the hair and makeup simple and let the dress shine with the just the right amount of bling.
Stella McCartney in Stella McCartney - She looks beautiful and I rarely think of her as that. She looks polished and radiant.



Ciara in Pucci - I envy this woman for her body. This dress could look like a fail on others.. but on her it just works.
Anne Hathaway in Marc Jacobs - The jewel tones work with her porcelain skin, and the shoes are beautiful. Her hair is a little poufy and pageanty, but at least she doesn't look washed out like she usually does.
Diane Krueger in Chanel - Pretty and effortless, lace is just taking over the fashion world these days. Perfect shoes & clutch.. she looks absolutely divine.
Rihanna in Dolce & Gabbana - Her first public appearance since the Chris Brown debacle and she looks like her old self again. I love that she likes to take risks fashion wise, this look is very avant garde. Love a cropped pant, very chic.


Hall of SHAME


Victoria Beckham in Marc Jacobs - I expected more from someone who "designs" dresses. The dress looks tacky on her.. and the shoes are hideous.
Winona Ryder - Its like she rolled out of bed, forgot to steam her dress, picked the mumsiest shoes in her closet and forgot she was going to the met.. cause she wore tights! Just wrong.
Rachel Weisz in Vera Wang - She looks washed out with the vampire makeup, the choker and what is that bit of yellow sticking out from under her dress?
Madonna in Louis Vuitton - Where do I start? The thigh high boots, the visible push up bra, the fingerless gloves and the scrunchy? No no no noooooo..

Personal Favorites - Leighton Meester, Stella McCartney & Diane Krueger

I LOVED Ashley and Rihanna's outfits! Ashley looked gorgeous overall, I think.
And, omg what was Madonna thinking?

Diana said...

I thought Rachel Weisz was the only hight light of an otherwise bad night of fashion at the Met.

DaisyChain said...

I love Ashley's outfit. I also liked Lily D's.

Eeli said...

Babe i completely agree with everything here but I totally thought that Rachel Weizs was Helena Bonham Carter! She really looks like her here!

Favourites go to Ashley, Kate and Diane but all are absoolute stunners. Madonna actually made me shiver lol.

Rachel Weisz....maybe the vampire look is "in"? And Beckham's trademark seems to be hideous shoes LOL!

My fave is Anne Hathaway, but then ....I'm over forty ;D
