Savage Beauty: The 2011 Met Gala's Tribute to McQueen





My fave of the night was Gisele in McQueen.
I usually don't like red-on-red but she just looks
too statuesque to believe. Gorgeous.

Now, please Gisele, stop telling that hubs of yours to keep
his hair long. Good strategy for keeping all the other women
 away, but, really, it's gone too far now.


I hate to say it but Taylor Swift looked beautiful
in a dramatic J. Mendel.


Ditto Gwyneth in Stella McCartney.
There were tons of shimmery nude looks this year.


SJP dressed, appropriately, in McQueen.
She has a very 60s First Lady vibe going on.


Not surprisingly Salma was also in McQueen.


Ashley Greene in one-of-a-kind Donna Karan.
Somewhere a Jonas is weeping.


Pregnant Jessica Alba glowed in Ralph Lauren.
Not loving the skirt but she's gorgeous.


Also pregnant Kate Hudson showed up in a very
similar look courtesy of Stella McCartney.
Nude, strapless, sparkly headpiece = pregnant
style du jour, apparently.


Lily Aldridge in Ralph Lauren = simple and classic.
The earrings are the perfect accessory.


Jessica Stam rocked a feminine 50s prom look
from Tommy Hilfiger paired with some killer shoes
and Chopard jewels.


I can't say I loved Blake's drapey Chanel.


Diane Kruger looked glam and
sophisticated in Jason Wu.


Loved the addition of the earrings to Tory Burch's outfit.


Bar Rafaeli looked smokin' and her
turquoise and teal accessories were spot on. 


There was lots of gold last night, too.
Like Claire Danes in liquid gold Calvin Klein.


Karen Elson looking gorgeous in McQueen.


Ageless Iman in Stella McCartney.
And you can see Amber Valletta in the background
wearing black Stella McCartney.


Anna dello Russo added some gold to her McQueen too.


Loved the colour of J. Lo's Gucci.


I don't know if I loved Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's
pink Burberry Prorsum dress but it sure was sexy.



Isabel Lucas looked like a boho goddess
in her Louis Vuitton.


Amy Adams' L'Wren Scott fit like a glove.
Not feeling the big braid.


Zoe Saldana played it safer than usual but
she looks gorgeous and summery in her
lemon-y Calvin Klein.


Jennifer Hudson looked fab in neutral
Vera Wang while the designer opted to
go the bright colour route in chartreuse.


I think Ginnifer Goodwin looked like a hot mess in her green Topshop dress. The dress itself was a great colour--and daring--but her hair and make-up were off to me.


Doutzen Kroes looked radiant in red Giambattista Valli.


Stella McCartney (and belts!) were pretty popular last night.
I love the colour of Eva Mendes' 70s-ish blue gown.


I like Brooklyn Decker's hair better longer, but the bright
pink of her simple Michael Kors gown is great fun.


Mary-Kate's red vintage number isn't flattering, neither is her stringy hair.
I do like the green jewels.


This is the best I've seen Madonna look in awhile
but I wasn't totally sold out on her star spangled McCartney.


I lot of the most dramatic looks of the night were black--or black and white. And while I didn't love every one the Met Gala is one of those great events that people can really take sartorial chances. Like Christina Ricci in Zac Posen. 



Edgy glam thy name is Karolina.
In Gaultier.


Beyonce looked very...Beyonce in her black
and gold Pucci, which was so tight the
singer needed to people to help her up the stairs.


I'm on the fence about Leighton Meester's LV ensemble.
Maybe a bit too strappy strappy for me but I
did enjoy her long ponytail.


Crystal Renn went for the drama in Zac Posen
and a weird updo


Ashley was the better of the two Olsens, although her
sleeves call to mind a milkmaid or something.


I love Shalom Harlow and I think she pulled off this Marchesa,
which would have sunk a lesser woman.


Penelope Cruz played it a bit safer in Oscar de la Renta but she looked beautiful nonetheless. Baby weight? What baby weight? She does seem to prefer these types of silhouettes but they suit her.


Not really feeling Sofia Vergara's floral
Carolina Herrera. Kind of...yawn.


Rihanna's Stella McCartney is like something
Cher would wear. Performing in Vegas. Just no.


Demi Moore protests her lost Royal Wedding invitation by sporting a
fascinator and some type of Prabal Gurung-designed wild bird to the Met.


Feathers played a part in some of the worst looks of the night. See: Margherita Missoni. She's gorgeous but this Missoni is some kind of bad Easter explosion.


A white gown. A fascinator. Very Royal Wedding-inspired, but is Serena Williams supposed to be bride or guest? I think she fails at either in this Oscar de la Renta.


Nicole Richie's vintage Jason Wu look?
Another fail for me.


New mom Miranda Kerr is smokin' hot but
this Marchesa explosion of tulle is a
little too crazy ballerina for me.


I've never been a huge LeeLee Sobieski fan
but she looks great in this floaty white Vionnet.


You would think that Sarah Burton would be all white-dressed-out but au contraire. The McQueen designer showed up in a very romantic one.


Oh, Fergie...the only thing that saves this
photo is Josh Duhamel.


Daphne Guinness paid appropriate homage to
McQueen in...McQueen.


Aimee Mullins in a dramatic custom Olivier Theyskens.
