Carey Mulligan’s Chanel for the CFDA event: tragic, dated, or gorgeous?

cfda_awards_05_wenn3101365

Last night there was a dinner to benefit the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, and several celebrities came out to eat and raise money. Karl Lagerfeld does not approve of any of it, from the eating to the fashion to the general atmosphere, as you can tell. Probably because there was some especially bad fashion at a fashion event, and perhaps because The Kaiser designed a couple of these bad dresses. Take Carey Mulligan, in Chanel. I f-cking hate this dress. If it was just the dress, maybe I could like it, but the bejeweled shrug/caplet thing is just horrible. It makes her look like she’s stepped off the Dynasty set. I dislike the booties too.

The only good thing about this – Carey learned at the event that she was cast as Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann’s version of The Great Gatsby (starring Leo D.). Baz called her at the event, and she was so happy she burst into tears! Good for her.

Next up: Christina Ricci and her bangs trauma. A few months ago, Ricci was looking great. Not so much anymore. I hate the bangs, and I hate the dress too.

Blake Lively was there too, with her boobs looking especially jacked. Ugh. She was up for the part of Daisy – sucks to be her.

Do you think Zac Posen is at all perturbed that Kim Kardashian’s Kat-Face was his date? You know who used to be his date for these events? Natalie Portman. And now all he can scrounge up is Kim. Ugh.

And last but not least, the Olsens. JESUS. These two need an exorcism.

    carey’s dress: ill-fitting and ugly. shoes are awful, too

    ricci: dress is so-so, the black tights with it are awful.

    blake looks sort of skanky. Her hair just looks awful!

    kim’s dress is rumpled and the olsens look like witches.

    Zac is the only one that looks good! And even that is just in comparison to the others.

  2. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    OMG I love what I Blake Lively is wearing. I want that.

    I think Carey maybe wearing something vintage. Its adorable and very Haute Couture even if its not vintage, its perfect for this event. Bad shoes though. Vintage or not, bad shoes.

    Kim K looks a hawt mess and so do the Olsen Twins.

  3. Arianna says:

    WHAT THE FUCK WITH ALL OF THEM?
    i do like the colour of carey’s but that’s it.

    also, can blake make any other fucking face? seriously do you have to look slightly dazed in every gd photo

  4. ziggy says:

    carey’s hair and make-up are quite nice. and it’s great she got the role of daisy. she’s a fine actress. the outfit is pretty ugly.

  5. Blaster says:

    Whatever, reagarding Carey’s dress. Thank f-cking god, she got the part of Daisy. Yay for actual talent and knowing that a fake nose, fake boobs and questionable relationship with Harvey Weinstein can only get you so far.

    And can someone please tell me WHY she’s on the cover of another Vogue magazine (albeit the “Best Dressed” edition?)

    Sorry for the source of the link, it’s the only one I could find 🙁

  6. Rachel says:

    I actually like Cary’s dress…I wonder if Blake burst into tears as well when she learned Cary got the part. Couldn’t have been surprised though, she can’t act her way out of a paper bag.

  7. brin says:

    The only good thing is Carey getting to play Daisy in Gatsby. Don’t really like any of the dresses & the Olsens look like baboons.

  8. Obvious says:

    Blake’s dress is nice. She finally learned tittys or legs. and she made the good choice of legs.

    I like Christina ricci-this isn’t my favorite look or her, but those bangs are cute on her. I know i know bangs trauma-but they aren’t as tramatic as you make them out to be Kaiser dear.

  9. guesty says:

    they all look like complete sh*t except for blake lively.

  10. Henriette says:

    During the war, when so many French were risking their lives in the Resistance, Coco Chanel chose to be the mistress of a powerful Nazi. I’d never wear Chanel, even if I could afford to do so every day for the rest of my life.

  11. Delta Juliet says:

    Are the Olsen twins SIAMESE twins for crissakes? They always look like they are attached at the waist.

  12. gabs says:

    LOL I love that blake lively found out she wasnt daisy at the same place carey got the good news. Its nice to see a good actress with real talent win the role over the big boobed girl who slept with weinstein. Now I hope nolan isnt giving her a part in batman 3 though. How is she making it onto all those shortlists for great parts? Based on what? Gossip girl and a vogue cover? ugh

  13. Diane says:

    I don’t like any of it.

  14. I Choose Me says:

    Yup carey’s dress is tragic. I mean I can’t tell you the last time I’ve seen so many different levels of fug. Cricci’s bangs trauma as Kaiser calls it hurts my soul because I love her. The Olsens look like the offspring of cousin It and I’m ignoring Blake until she wears something that doesn’t live up to her nickname of Boobs Legsly.

    The only person who looked fab is Zac Posen. Talk about Dapper.

  15. sapphire says:

    BAD choice and the booties are worse. I agree Zac is the only winner.

    But I bet Carrie will make an incredible Daisey- if she can dump the vulnerability.

  16. J says:

    I tend to disagree with the bangs trauma sentiments. A lot of women with large foreheads (can’t really remember, but I think Ricci is one of those women) look FAR better when they add some bangs.

  17. sisi says:

    Mary Kate’s bag is looking rather sad…

  18. Ernestine says:

    Carey’s dress reminds me of a freaking COCKROACH. She’s talented and cute as a button, but that thing is heinously fug.

  19. ams511 says:

    christina ricci=plastic surgery fail!!!

    🙁 what happened to her adorable face?!

  20. I Choose Me says:

    @12, can’t read the name. It was rumored that Weinstein wanted to ruin her career because she WOULDN’T sleep with him. So while I think she’s overrated it’s unfair to label her as someone who’s sleeping her way to the top. I do buy however, that she’s ambitious and that she’s working very hard right now to meet the right people and make the right connections, just wish she’d go take some acting and elocution classes and prove she’s got talent that way.

  21. serena says:

    W-T-F- ….. this is serious shit.
    Anyway Carey’s dress is the best in there. (horrible boots though).

    God Christina, don’t style your hair like that anymore. Bangs do not suits you.

  22. Liana says:

    Good Lord, I like the Olsen’s, but come on… they look like they clawed their way out of the grave, ate a couple animals and tossed on the pelts for good measure.

  23. Lady D says:

    The Olsen twin on the left. Is her purse supposed to look like it was buried in the back of her auntie’s closet for the past 20 years? These chickies are hovering in the billionaire range, and this is the purse she chose? Someone please tell me she did NOT spend a fortune for that ugly, faded, trashed purse.

  24. dj says:

    @ Henriette. I’ve never heard that Chanel factoid before. I really hope she was a spy for the resistance and was with the Nazi for information. Anyhoo, I am glad that Carey got the Daisy part! Her dress is not good. For that matter none of the dresses are good. How the heck did Kim K. get invited. She is like a freaking bed bug infestation that just won’t go away!

  25. carrie says:

    Are they not color in their world?

  26. abbizmal says:

    I like Carey’s dress but not the shoes. Blake looks like a skank. I don’t get Blake’s appeal.

  27. anjasmomma says:

    I totally absolutely “get” Carey as Daisy. I am so excited to see it.

  28. Xx says:

    Chanel dress is stunning, but hate the shoes. Kim K looks like she is in a cheap Cleopatra costume. Blake looks like they didnt finish the dress and she put it on an ran out of the shop in it anyway. Was she going for that look?

  29. spinner says:

    You know something is up when Karl looks the best of the lot. Karl is so happy that he pulled it off. Everyone looks like shit except for me. I look fabulous. BWA-HAHAHAHAH!!!

  30. original kate says:

    that’s christina ricci? whoa – she looks really different.

  31. caroline says:

    thank GOD carey mulligan got daisy. i’ve been depressed for weeks thinking about what boobs legsly would do to ruin that role. i always thought carey was perfect for it (esp. now that she has mia farrow hair– hello!) and i’m really happy for her.

  32. spinner says:

    I like Christina Ricci’s bangs. She needs them to cover up her 10 story forehead. She looks cute.

  33. Rachel says:

    Carey’s dress makes her look like an accessorized slab of meat. gross

  34. normades says:

    At last an actress who wins roles because she can ACT!! Suck it Blake!

  35. Anti-icon says:

    This is just fashion gone roadkill. Everyone hide from Karl Lagerfeld–the guy just looks like a corpse. And so do the clothes. Sorry ladies who have to wear this crap.

  36. KsGirl says:

    Damn, I’m getting a little worried. Twice now today I have totally agreed with Love Angelina (Blake’s dress is FAB, and J.Lo’s engagement ring with the pink diamond WAS the most beautiful, lustworthy ring ever and the only celeb ring I’ve ever coveted). I’m worried about waking up an AJ Superfan tomorrow! Nooooo!

    I like the dress Carey is wearing, but not on her. It’s wearing her.

  37. asiont says:

    carey looks like a lobster in this dress and that’s actually awesome!

  38. Michael says:

    i love the olsen twins they look like the walking dead, without the gaga exaggeration.

  39. Kat says:

    Carey’s dress choice was bold, beautiful & brave. Too bad the same can’t be said for those camel hoof shoes. Ugh. 🙁

  40. LBees says:

    Like the booties, like the shrug! Except NOT liking the straight seam across the boobies. Explain that to me!

    Blively…. Grrrrllll uh uh. No.

  41. mojoman says:

    To all of them: What The Fugggg???!!

  42. Lias says:

    Sincerely Jouet , I know this UGG Schweiz outfit and her hair and make-up photograph terribly. However, I watched the show and on television UGG Stiefel she actually looked amazing, which shocked me because I saw the pics first and expected her to look an even hotter mess on TV.
