The MET Gala: Pretty people in pretty dresses
The MET Costume Institute Gala was held in New York City last night, and, as usual, it brought out a parade of stars wearing their sartorial finest. Unlike last year, everyone managed to keep the crazy in check, but unfortunately that led to a fairly boring red carpet. Observe (click photos to enlarge):
Cristina Hendricks. Big boobs: check. Romantic red hair and ethereal makeup: check. Dead Muppet worn as a corsage: check.
Emma Watson. I know she’s over 18, but I really don’t like seeing Hermione Granger with a slit all the way up to her avada kedavra. (Don’t you roll those eyes at me, missy!)
Anne Hathaway. Anne must have decided to go to the gala at the last minute, throwing on her Princess Diaries dress and letting her hair dry in the car on the way.
Gwen Stefani. Anyone else miss the pink hair and braces? No, me neither. Typical Gwen look here.
Jennifer Lopez. Thank goodness Lopez has finally surrendered the “Hey, look at my giant ass” pose to Kim Kardashian. Now she can wear pretty, pretty princess dresses.
Jessica Alba. I can never see Jessica Alba as glamorous, no matter how hard she tries. She always looks like a skinny kid trying on her mom’s clothes.
Jessica Biel. This dress is a knockout. If only Jessica knew how to pose like a woman.
Marion Cotillard. Trapeze artist by day, trapeze artist who turned her costume into a dress by night.
Rachel Weisz. Someone had to wear the Barbie dream dress. Looks like Rachel Weisz pulled the short stick.
January Jones. The way her gloves blend in with tuxedo pants and shadows, don’t her arms look six feet long in this picture?
Blake Lively. I see London, I see France. I think I see Blake Lively’s vagina.
Oprah Winfrey. I like the color of this dress, I just wish Oprah’s chest didn’t look so dangerously unsupported.
Renée Zellweger. Is “barf” a legitimate fashion critique?
Riley Keogh. I don’t have any idea who this is, but someone should tell her that Chloe Sevigny already exists. See?
Rosario Dawson. Wow to all those ruffles. And all that cutesy pink. And the bow. And the molded boobage…
Tina Fey. Sweet fancy Moses, who did this to you, Tina Fey? They should be hunted with torches and spears.
Katy Perry. Can we agree to be done with Katy Perry now? This will only happen if we all work together.
I don’t know if anyone knocked it out of the park, but I like Jessica Biel’s dress, and Jennifer Lopez’s dress, kinda. What do you think?

Rachel Weisz looks amazing, so you have no fashion sense what so ever.
Biel? Naw, she looks like she was interupted during a drunken tryst at Yosemite Linen.
Oprah: Sneaking the Chicago White Sox into the event.
Lively: I too, see London, France and North Carolina…
Jones: No, but she’ll bob for canapes, being armless and all.
I think they all look off. It’s weird. There isn’t a wow in the bunch in my opinion. But of the group, I like Emma Watson’s look the most – slit and all.
You sure told me.
Isn’t Riley Keogh Elvis’ grandaughter?
(Although she looks all vacant like her Mom…)
I’m SO on the “done with Katy Perry” team!
No love for Darren Arnofsky? I’d requiem THAT dream anytime!
Heather,I think it’s hilarious that you asked if “barf” is a legitimate fashion critique since the look on Renee’s face is of one who is about to barf….
You Heather, make me LOL! Twice this week. Not just lol -No! … I really do LOL. People ask me what I’m laughing at.
Thank you!
Ha. I didn’t even notice her face. I was too busy retching at the dress.
Christina Hendricks … I approve.
And the winner is….your sister-in-fashion-snark over Jessica Alba’s left shoulder turning to give her the WTF look. And isn’t that the blacker Vin Diesel over her right shoulder?
The princess dress is in, I guess, but it’s being done soooo poorly. Where is Christian Siriano when the stars so desperately need him? http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/EXID13151/images/8076ee7c-8e1a-49c4-aded-fce677e114a9.jpg
and yes, you made me LOL on this post as well…Hermoine’s Avada Kadavera…
