The Costume Institute Gala 2009: The Model as Muse

[scriptgirl]

Harumi, you are DOING it! I too, can't wait to read Lainey's assessment of the carpet. Too bad she wasn't there.

 

[eternitygoddess]

Lauren looked...questionable. Some of the outfits were plain bad, not even over the top. *cough* Polina's pumpking sack *cough*, Tyra's drag-queen do, Twiggy's tuxedo mess.

 

[Spark]

Loving Sasha's look, she definitely pulls it off!

 

[Velasco]

Daria is kicking @#$!

 

[happycanadian]

yeah, DARIA is definitely the only one there who can compete with Gisele for "best body".

 

[crimsonlakes]

To be fair I don't think the new startlets like Leighten and Blake had much choice on what they wore...even if had a horrible outfit I would just be glad to be surrounded with so many incredible people.

the current models are MURDERING the oldies tonight.

Supposedly Natalia was there, however I can't find any pictures

Shalom Harlow, Amber, Natalia Vodianova, Eva Herzigova, and Stella Tennant have made a red carpet block while they stop to exchange air kisses.

I completely disagree with the predictable 'worst ever' comments. Every years, for every events (Oscar, GG, etc.), it's always the worst ever, blah, blah, blah.

I don't know how much worse it is than any other costume institute gala, but this one is total crap and you have to be one of those rabid fans to say certain people look nice. I've admired Kate's style for years but her outfit is fail to me.

As for most of the newer models/actresses, it isn't necessary that they look bad, but for a ball I would assume the models/designers would go all out and wear something extraordinary. A short mini dress with a pair of ankle boots is not that, they look like an army of Fashiontoast girls.

hmm ... the only model i've seen pics of in that list is Shalom. haven't seen Natalia, Amber, Stella or Eva yet. (*i'm dying to see EVA!!*)

Exactly, I was kind of disappointed in Lara because it looked like she was going to any old event. Bring on the gowns. Anja did short right-Lara failed.

whooo I finally got to the end of this thread. okay my thoughts so far:

Anna Wintour: I could have sworn I've seen her wear that dress before. Didn't she wear it to a wedding?

Jessica Biel: Her dress looks like it would have been better suited for the superhero theme last year.

Diane K: is an absolute dream. She's in my top three of the night.

Amber Rose: I'm so happy she's there. I'm not a fan of her dress though, or her tattoo.

Victoria Beckham: looks ridiculous. She looks as though she wrapped a bed sheet around her body.

Emma Roberts: The Versace dress makes her figure look bigger.

Cindy Crawford: looks

Shalom Harlow: Looks amazing! points to her for taking a risk! She's also in my top three for the night.

Gisele: looks nice, but I'm not swooning over it.

Elizabeth Hurley: Looks lovely

Kristen Dunst: Hate It

Kate Bosworth: Love it. She's also in the top three for me.

Eva Longoria: Looks nice for once.

Madonna: is a joke.

Leighton Meester: Wtf?

Racheal Weizs (sp? I don't like her make-up

Anne Hathaway: looks like one of the models from the barbie runway show.

Blake: look sexy, but in a nice way.

rihanna:

Agyness: Looks like a Marilyn Monroe impressination, not like she was inspired by Marilyn.

Chanel Iman looks good

Sasha P is SASHA FIERCE!

Daria W is super chic

Met Gala: Stephanie Seymour Will Stay Home, Too

By Cathy Horyn Supermodel Stephanie Seymour says she won’t be attending tonight’s gala for the “Model as Muse” show. “Azzedine has made my dress for every single ball,” Seymour said this afternoon. “I had a fitting in Paris. But then he called me over the weekend and asked me not to wear the dress. I will still make my donation to the Met, but I won’t be going.”

Can someone tell me why Karl REALLY is not there??? I bet the travel is just an excuse.

 

[nyc_art_style]

oh and I forgot to mention that i love Kate Moss's entire look, turban and all.

 

[L.A.Woman85]

eva's dress looks sweet

 

[happycanadian]

oh boy. not liking what Eva is wearing. damn! she's usually very dependable to be sexy and glamourous at these events! maybe she's saving all her good dresses for Cannes. haha.

 

[Boomer]

I think Blake Lively looks almost beautiful...I guess I'm the only one though...

PARTY POLITICSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Big-name designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Azzedine Alaia, and Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are also staying home, possibly because Marc Jacobs has already commandeered the event by buying up at least two tables and by dressing Moss, Madonna and Kerry Washington.
