THE BEST and WORST from the 2016 MET GALA
Last night was the first Monday in May, or as we fashion and entertainment obsessive like to call it - MET Gala Monday. OR...the Oscars of fashion. That's right, every year, fashion and entertainment's most elite get together and marvel at each other's fabulousness on the grander of the MET museum stairs all because well, Anna Wintour invited them. Lovely.
One of the world's most exclusive parties, always features an awesome fashion theme that celebrates the current fashion collection inside the MET. This year's theme was Manus vs. Machina. And that confuses you then think of it this way, handmade fashion vs. technology, OR fashion in the age of technology, which is what it was most explained as. So with that theme comes a lot of handmade and technically made gowns and outfits from hand sewn flowers, to laser cut fabrics, to of course, a lot of embellishments and metallics.
Now, in general most of the outfits were like pretty...people looked good. But was there a show stopping Rihanna in yellow look last night? Ehhh NO. At least in my opinion there was not. And Rihanna knew which is why she instaed a pic of Rihanna MET Gala impersonators in Times Square. LOL. Love you Ri. Though Beyonce was named Best Dressed by Vanity Fair, I think Claire Danes might have been the closest to Ri's greatness, but that's it.
LOL. SO EPIC.
Anyway here we go with top and worst looks for last night's fashionable soiree!
BEST
The Most "LIT" Gowns - LOL GET IT?!
These were my two FAVORITE gowns of the night. I die for anything big, chiffon, embellished, and sparkly, so these two nailed for me. AND the best part?! THEY LIGHT UP AHHH. Claire Danes' gown was glow in the dark which is like SO epic, and Karolina's changed colors...like the flowers changed when they were on. Super cool party people to me.
Karolina Kurkova in Marchesa.
Claire Danes in Zac Posen.
"Excuse me? Have seen Cinderella? OHHH nevermind - found her!"
The Best Metallics
Well all of these looks are awesome. We love silver, we love metallic, we love bead work, all of it. Taylor Swifts wins when it comes to nailing the theme. Her hand craft Louis Vuitton dress is so epic with her retro, latex looking heels. Now if you know me you know that as an artist, I don't love Tswift, but I do LOVE her new look. I wasn't buying the whole bad girl gal thing but this platinum blonde look with all these dark lip looks and edgy fashion risks she's been taking - I love it. Poppy, Jordan, you guys are just epic in your own right and they look stunning.
Taylor Swift in Louis Vuitton.
Poppy Delevingne in Marchesa.
Jordan Dunn in Balmain.
The Michael Kors Kidz.
I feel like people under-estimate MK, but he makes great red carpet looks and I love both of these dresses. First of all Wilde NAILED the theme by wearing this embellished black gown with the furistic, accents. I love the bold, metal choker and my favorite thing was the pony-tail hair piece which was the same metal choker. Serious ZEON vibes and I loved it. And then Zendaya just look breath taking in this gold color. Ugh, wow.
Olivia Wilde.
Zendaya.
Just The
BEST
Kate Bosworth in Dolce and Gabbanna.
I mean all I have to say about this is...what a freaking goddess. She just looks luminescent it's amazing. She actually may be me favorite of the night. Bravo Kate!!
Kendall Jenner in Versace.
The model, who normally rocks Calvin Klein, surprised everyone when she rolled up in this Versace gown. But the mod, what looks like laser cut dress, is just so sexy yet elegant on her. And that Estee Lauder fresh face really helps to balance the harshness of the dress lines. Loooove it. Guess they don't pay her the big bucks for nothing.
Beyonce in Givenchy.
"I'm so reckless when I wear my Givenchy dress..."
YES BEY SLAY. Obv the Queen showed up to the Gala OBV rocking Givenchy, OBV without Jay Z, and OBV rocking freaking latex in the most sophisticated way possible. It's likeee can anyone else do that?! No. Can anyone else try? Sure...but you prob look like a damn fool. LOL. She's wearing EMBELLISHED LATEX PEOPLE. Think about it. It's freaking awesome.
"You know you're that bitch when you cause all this conversation...."
I mean TRUE. All HAIL.
Allison Williams in Peter Pilotto.
I don't like "Girls," but I freaking love this dress. It's SO cool. She looks like a freaking sexy Father Time...LOL. Okay that sounds odd, but her dress looks like the inside of a clock - the detailing is absurd and I love the side cut out with the one shoulder. Ugh. Nailed it. Theme, elegance, everything.
Willow and Jaden in Chanel.
When I instagramed "Note to self, try to be as cool as Willow and Jaden on the MET ball red carpet," I was NOT kidding people. Like they look SO fabulous, they're like the new Mary-Kate and Ashley...or "Sister, Sister" whatever you. You get it.
LIIFEEE! THEY ARE GIVING ME LIFEEE. This IS fashion ladies and gents.
Nicole Kidman in Alexander McQueen.
Saw this dress on the McQueen runway during London fashion week and died. I freaking love this dress. Tom Cruise and Keith Urban marriages aside...Nicole made a comeback in this dress.
Lupita in Calvin Klein.
Sequins? Check. Hair piece? Check. Looks goon in just about anything and everything on the red carpet? Check. I hate the color green and Luptia reeally makes me wanna wear it...like ALL the time. THAT's fashion inspiration right there.
WORST
Kerry Washington in Marc Jacobs.
Ummm...yeah. Okay, I LOVE Kerry. I hate putting her on these lists, but while I don't really completely hate her all black look, I just don't like the hair. And it's not even the color of the hair that bothers me I think the color is cool it's just the styling of it. I mean the whole curly thang makes the WHOLE look like a Bellatrix LeStrange costume....yep. Now you see it and you don't like it either.
Mary Kate and Ashley...(mainly Mary-Kate).
AHHHH!! Okay, so we ALL love MK and Ashley. I mean they are
THE fashion gurus of the fashion gurus, but every since they have become fashion royalty with all they A-list lines, it's like they don't care to dress up or look FUN anymore! Like and they look SOO OLD. Mary-kate looks like she's a withering 40 year old. It's NOT okay that Beyonce looks younger and she's like ten years older. I mean I know black don't crack but MK looks wack. Ashley doesn't look awful.
Emma Stone in Versace.
Ugh, Emma. I love you, but I hate this. Like really hate this. This looks like a Game of Thrones costume or something. I just don't like it at all. Her hair looks nice though.
Madonna in Givenchy.
I just don't even think I have to say to much about this. Madonna's boobs are out and her butt is out. I mean sure, it's covered in aggressive less, but like still. It's awkward. She's like old...and I totally love Madonna and think she's great but THIS Givenchy and Beyonce's Givenchy is like extremely different. I mean of course Madonna is basically wearing a costume, like Gaga is, but Gaga looks better. Ugh, what would Prince say?!
Nicki Minaj in Moschino.
SOOO I get IT because it's Moschino. But I hate it. All the buckles, ew. This is like the wrong way to do latex. Nicki did took a cute pic of her and Bey inside the gala and made the caption "You ain't married to no average bitch BOY. Shade to all them N*ggas out there!" SO that, I agree with. The outfit...not so much.
Selena Gomez in Louis Vuitton.
BLEHHH. I hate this. She looks like a European school girl in the 1920s. Post WWI lost of grander and their estate. LOL I am totally turning this into a Downton Abbey episode, but that's really how I feel about this look. Freaking Mary Crawley looked better during the war that Selena does in this outfit. Sorry.
Lala Anthony in Nicolas Jebran.
Pretty bead work, but I don't looove it. WHY are the sleeves SO big?! It's awful and I mean awful. She looks like one of those red and black poisonous snake. LOL. But yeah, hate it. Carmelo looked better. #CuseLove.
Demi Lovato in Moschino.
So when everyone confuses your MET gala dress for vintage Versace and it's NOT vintage Versace, it's Moschino, then you have a problem. This dress was not the worst of the red carpet dresses, but it's just not great. This is one of the few times I am not down for sequins....or yellow.
Emma Watson in Calvin Klein.
Now, I know how much Emma loves her pants, but I don't love these pants. There is like TOO much going on with this. It's a corset, it's not a corset, it's pants, but it's a dress, there's a belt, there's not a belt. I mean WHAT is going on?! If an outfit needs THAT much explaining then it's not a good outfit. Can't really defend this one.
Katie Holmes in Zac Posen.
Like Madonna and Beyonce's same designer ensembles, THIS Zac Posen is very different from the Claire Danes Zac Posen we saw. Likeee when you show up to the MET gala looking like that little girl from the ring...quite frankly if I was Suri, I would be terrified. Hope there wasn't a well inside.
SJP in Monse.
Hello, good afternoon Sir. Are we in 17th century France? Or is it just me? SJP can do what she wants on these red carpets and she knows it. SO she wears this. So we like it? No. Are we gonna let it slide...basically. Why? Ugh, cause she's Carrie. Carrie would prob wear this to the MET ball too. I miss her Oscar de la Renta look of 2014. WAH.
Great shoes tho.
