Ok. I wasn’t that impressed. In fact, I was severely disappointed. Step it up people! All the gold (Kate, Salma, Elizabeth Banks, Claire Danes, SJP, Veronica Mars, Bar Rafaeli, Jessica Alba, Gwyneth ) was boring. I felt like anything new or modern was a rarity. All the sequins invoked prom. Read on at your own risk…it gets pretty ugly. I’m not usually this mean to my favorite models & celebs! Go here for the full coverage.
STYLE WINNERS!
Style winner: Doutzen Kroes. Simple, fresh, flattering.
Style Winner: Diane Kruger – this is probably due to my personal positive bias
Style Winner: Ashley Olsen. Gorgeous. Different than anything I’ve seen her in.
Style Winner: Freaking Sandra Lee from “Semi-homade” showed up a bunch of folks. And what was she doing there?
Style Winner: Gisele, because what else would she do with that body?
Style Winner – Amy Adams, because I rarely like what she wears and I like this.
Style Winners: Angela Lindvall & Karlie Kloss – this is gold done well (on breathing mannequins)
Style Winner: Hilary Rhoda – classic, chic, short – white done right.
STYLE LOSERS!!!
Barbara Walters – you deserve to be spanked for this
Taylor Swift – your makeup looks fug and you’re supposed to be a Cover Girl. The only thing worse than the makeup is the dress/hair.
Emma Stone, you are so pretty girl! Remember what you wore to the golden globes? This atrocity made me forget.
Alexa Chung – I grow weary of you and your quirkiness
I literally made the exact same face as Serena when I saw this photo
Ashley Greene- I’ve seen that dress before but your hair looks nice.
GAAAAH Nicole Richie, the hair! the sleeve cut-outs! eeek
Lucy Liu – Career damaging
Sarah Burton, are you freaking kidding? I’m trying to conjur up some kind of saying like “if you can’t do, teach” but I don’t think it works in this situation.
Fergie – one of the ugliest dresses I’ve ever seen. It also looks like you have jaundice. You might want to have that checked out.
Eva Mendes – terrible.
Ginnifer Goodwin – nice try
Michelle – you rarely do wrong in my eyes. But this dress makes your arms look big. We all know your arms aren’t big.
Penelope – boring, boring, boring
Rashida Jones – ew
It’s hard to say “hanous” on the same line as Miranda Kerr but somehow it works in this sitch.
Demi Moore wore a fascinator! She’s gotta get props for that.
Is that feather pouf attached to ERW somehow? UPDATE: I’ve realized it’s not attached to ERW, but is attached to Florence Welch. ERW – you stay in style losers for standing close to Flo Welch (I still love your music Flo & the machine but let’s keep fashion and friendship separate, k?)
I literally almost threw up in my mouth when I saw this creation on Carolyn Murphy, who is typically so effortlessly lovely
Ri-Ri, I’m kindof over you looking naked but not really being naked, not to mention the red hair. Find a new schtick.
That’s all I got folks! How did you feel about the lack of fashion on this most fashionable night?

Sandra Lee is dating some major NY politician….I think Andrew Cuomo.

Also, where was Christina Ricci? That Zac Posen creation is what the met ball is all about!
