i expect somewhat of a split on this but i'm sorry, i really feel like this picture could be from the adult video award ceremony in vegas.

 

[fantastical]

i'm only on page 43 of the other thread and trying to catch up, but I can't help but wonder....
is it worth it?

the lack of McQueen is astounding. I truly thought people were going to go all out for the theme.
seems almost as if there are more people wearing Stella than McQueen.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

I think Giselle's figure is very nice, but what she's wearing is just a big huge strapless red dress. I don't find it as impressive as many others do. But so be it.

@dandridgedaily

yeah... jlo....

also for anyone wondering about dianna agron, she was michael kors date, hence the pretty-but-boring look. as if kors could ever come up with anything to pay homage to mcqueen.. haha.

I think she looks great compared to everyone else. I agree though, if everyone else got it together, it would have been pretty basic.

Agreed. His archive is so dense and varied. He had some really lovely commercial pieces too.

I agree, I thought everyone would be wearing mcqueen

Who was Amy Adams wearing? I love her dress!! But Diane is def my fav

So I've seen all the looks so far and I'm going to sort them out. Overall I'm disappointed by the influx of Stella McCartney and the lack of versatility. I think it's a tie between Christina Ricci and Karolina Kurkova for best dressed for me.

Theme appropriate
Very Good

• Christina Ricci
• Karolina Kurkova
• Liv Tyler
• Ashley Olsen (I don't care, judge on)
• Hamish Bowles
• Daphne
• Raquel

Ok

• Beyonce
• Sarah Jessica Parker
• Gisele
• Salma Hayek
• Leelee Sobieski
• Ciara
• Isabel Lucas
• Hillary Rhoda

Bad

• Naomi

Semi theme appropriate
Good!

• Saoirse Ronan - (This feels very Dorothy of Oz which I could definitely see McQueen do)
• Kristen Stewart - I don't know why but I really liked her look
• Ginnifer Goodwin
• Hailee Steinfeld

Ok/Meh

• Michelle Williams
• Madonna
• Rosie
• Dianna Agron (I put her under semi because McQueen actually did a dress in a similar style, but I hardly think she chose this dress with that in mind)
• Mia Wasikowska
• Blake Lively (McQueen did grecian godess but more with a dominatrix vibe.. I'm still undecided wether or not this is good)
• Leighton Meester (disappointed by her, I wish she would have gone all out)
• Fergie - but I'm thinking of moving her to bad

Bad

• Lucy Liu
• Taylor Swift
• Miranda Kerr
• MK Olsen

Non theme appropriate
Vavavoom amazing

• Diane Kruger

Good

• Jennifer Lopez - I like it and I loved this collection

Ok but forgettable

• Penelope Cruz
• Gwyneth
• Amy Poehler
• Isla Fisher
• Renee Zellweger
• Lea Michele
• Emma Stone
• Sofia Vergara
• Brooklyn decker
• Zoe Saldana (so disappointed)
• Ashley Green

Bad

• Rihanna
• Kate Hudson
• Jessica Alba

Mindblowingly Awful

• Christina Hendricks

sorry for the long list

I think the lack of McQueen can be explained by the fact that most of the appropriate for the event pieces weren't available as they were being exhibited.

Gotcha!

one also has to remember there exist a number of mcqueen favorites sitting on the reject racks of some of these major celebrities. the stylist who gets the most dresses wins.

So depressing.
