The Costume Institute Gala 2009: The Model as Muse

THE GOOD

Gisele - Sick body. Just sick. She gives everyone else an inferiority complex.

Iman - No one does "aging gracefully" better than her. No amount of plastic surgery can make anyone look that good. So ladies, the lesson is: nature> plastic surgery

Kate Bosworth - Very Jean Harlow, silver screen Hollywood siren va-va-voom.

Diane Kruger - Beautiful as usual.

Claudia Schiffer - Best Versace look of them all.

Bee Shaffer - Finally someone does sexy with sophistication.

Ashley Olsen - Very VERY pleasantly surprised. I can actually see her as "pretty". Make up = stunning.

Marion Cottillard - Would've been better with more striking makeup instead of muted, washed-out colors.

THE DECENT

Eva Longoria - Outfit is quite elegant. Would be in "the good" if Cate Blanchett was wearing it. But Eva Longoria is not Cate Blanchett, and can never acheive that level of elegance. Proof that it's the personality that counts the most, not the face and the clothes.

Mary Kate Olsen - :heart: Lacroix couture. Bless her for wearing it. Hate that messy hair. She would've been one of the best dressed if she COMBED her hair. But alas, I think she wanted to look like she just finished rolling in the haystack.

Elizabeth Hurley - Nice dress.

Chanel Iman

Kirsten Dunst - REALLY like that dress, but needs a few modifications. Her hair and shoes are inappropriate.

THE UGLY

Andre Leon Talley - A tent stolen from some refugee camp + cheap nickel&dime heart necklace + crystal flats. This guy is an editor at Vogue?! Really?

Jessica Biel - It is a truth universally acknowledged, that some peopel cannot dress, even if they have access to the best designers, make up artists, and stylists out there. RED DOES NOT GO WITH TAN SKIN. The makeup artist should be fired from his profession pronto.

Cindy Crawford - Looks like some cheap call girl Donatella picked up from Vegas.

Blake Lively - Putting all her goods on display as usual. This ain't an auction honey.

Leighton Meester - Bruises my heart to put her here. Even hoochie Blake Lively looked better!

Ciara - Doesn't look good in anything.

Shalom - Don't get the rave. Looks like she gathered some black crepe curtains and wrapped it around herself.

Tyra Banks - drag queen as usual. She has no right giving ANTM contestants fashion advice.

Polina whats-her-name - Too tan. Dress is one big orange hippie sack.

Victoria Beckham - Three words: TRIES...TOO...HARD.

Katy Perry - I think she got her MET invitation one year late.

Wionna Ryder - Seriously?

Rachel Weisz - Worst makeup of the night, beats out even Jessica Biel's. She looks like a corpse. And what is with that atrocious burst of banana yellow tulle at the bottom of her dress? Which designer thought to pair up PEACH with YELLOW?!

Kate Moss - I want my shower cap back Kate.

Rose Byrne - WTF is that hair?! Don't tell me you did it on purpose!

Kate Beckinsale - Prom gone back. The bottom looks like the craft roses I use to make with tissue paper back in kindergarten.

Rihanna - I know you want to be "edgy" and all, but it ain't working.

Fabioloa - I never thought I'd put Chanel (much less Chanel couture) and skanky in the same sentence.

WORST
- :lol::lol::lol: Only M.I.A. could pull that off.

Summary: Old models DO NOT know how to dress. You'd think that models would pick up a few fashion tips after working with so many great designers, but no.

Ugly hair, ugly makeup, ugly tan. Bunch of oompa-loompas running around. People in this town need to hire new hairstylists and makeup artists. People at prom looked better than this, which is saddd with a capital S.

I'm interested to see what all the Park Avenue socialities wore.

Hmm, well I guess it's not Arlenis like I thought. I doesn't really look like Emanuela to me but I've been wrong before.:p
