MET Costume Institute Gala 2014: "Charles James: Beyond Fashion"

Kristen Wiig looks amazing in Balenciaga.

Ok, I think I'm digging Lupita's look now.

Love Kristen Wiig's look. When it comes to Lupita, I like the details and closeup shots but as a whole it doesn't work for me. I'll have to see better pics though.

Other than that awful gown, what's up with Kendall's hair? Of all the Topshop girls, Toni looks the best. The colour of Jourdan's gown is so weird.

Why on earth would Olivier dress Kim K in a dress so similar to Rosie's for the same event? but she does look better than that Givenchy monstrosity she wore last year.

Kim K looks like she's dressed by Fausto Puglisi!
Looks like his brand codes! He is the guy that now designs for Ungaro!

 

[Not Plain Jane]

Oh Lupita, what a letdown. :/

Well Michelle has let me down. Hopefully the other three won't.

I LOVE the Topshop girls. Say what you want, but they are all on point as far as the theme goes. Even the colors of the gowns are perfect.

^Look at Toni's dress with the details on the chest! Yikes...

I am totally digging Kristen Wiig's Balenciaga outfit, now that is a modern and minimal interpretation of the Charles James' theme.

 

[Marc10]

Oh come on Michelle

Felicity and Olivier look tres cool.

I love the elements and tiny details of Lupita's but overall I generally hate the outcome

Ugh, where to start...
-my baby Zoe has arrived. Homegurl looks a little off, but idk I just love her.
-who purposefully f***ed up Kendall's hair? LMAO
-Bradley cooper got thick...YUMMY
-But seriously, no one is wowing me. Either it's too safe or it's just so unappealing. I love thus far Arizona, Liu, and Dree. Then again, they're models so it's unfair. Arizona and Liu look so damn elegant and Dree looks like she stepped off of a 1940s red carpet. Slay the red carpet, gurl.
-Kristen Wiig looks great in the Balenciaga!
-I don't get Shailene BASIC Woodley. Bad actress, horrible style. She's as basic and vanilla as this plain yogurt I'm consuming right now.
-I kind of like Lupita because it's Prada and Miuccia is a goddess and never disappoints me but at the same time I find it kind of tacky and costumey and I love that about it.

Every year, I'm frustrated by the lack of celebrities following the theme. Why am I always so surprised? I should just expect them to disappoint- and then maybe someone will surprise me! So far I haven't seen anything that has blown me away tonight.

 

[Erin]

very few seem to be embracing this year theme...

I know! And how could they not? Fabulous theme, fabulous opportunity... lost on so many. Disappointing.
