The Met’s Costume Institute Gala 2010: Worst

The Met’s Costume Institute Gala is a ball. It is also a candy-shop-like heaven for the fashion lovers, what with beautiful gowns and crème de la crème of celeb world. But when said celebs pick some disastrous outfits to wear on such an important night, it makes me wonder if they did that to get noticed and to stand out from the crowd.

Well, in Katy Perry’s case, one does not need to wonder. A romantic white dress that lights up in the dark screams for attention…and that necklace is all wrong for the neckline of the dress. In my humble opinion, Katy Perry is the fail of the night.

A few other notables are Vera Farmiga in an ill-fitted baby blue Sophie Theallet for Gap fit for a saloon, Malin Ackerman in a not-so-flattering black-and-white dress, complete with blah hair, Elizabeth Banks in a fashion-forward feathered Gucci number that she overaccessorized bringing it from cool to trying-too-hard territory, and last but not least – Carey Mulligan in Miu Miu – cute dress, wrong occasion (plus the color washes out her pretty face).

What do you think about these dresses? Are they the worst of the night or do you have a soft spot for some of them? Sound off in the comments!

Bebe vs. Prada

bebe

Walking back from lunch the other day, I caught sight of a cool-looking dress inside a Bebe store. And while Bebe is certainly not my cup of tea most of the time, I was curious enough to pop in. And I was so glad that I did, because it was love at first sight! Perhaps not the most wedding-appropriate dress I could find, but the Prada resemblance, plus the leather factor sold me on this one. After polling my co-workers on “appropriate vs. not so much”, I got mostly “sure, go ahead-s” from the guys, and I could hardly wait till the end of the workday to run back to the store and try it on! But when I finally did get the faux leather creation on, I realized that the length of the dress really did not leave much to imagination. And while I did think that I could pull off the fabric and the metal adornments at the upcoming nuptials, the length of the dress did ruin it for me. And here I thought that I had it in the bag! I even spotted Carey Mulligan wearing the same Prada dress to the premiere of An Education. If only the Bebe dress had the same perfect length! Damn…So the search continues. Only 2 days to go.
