Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves: trying too hard or just keep livin’?

wenn3199718

These photos are from last night’s Heart Truth’s Red Dress fashion show (it supports funding for women’s heart disease, etc). Matthew McConaughey came out to support his lady Camila Alves, who walked the runway. Ordinarily, Matthew McConaughey never comes to mind for HGF. It’s not that I find Matt particularly unattractive. He has all of the right parts and everything, and his body is great (minus the dinosaur arms), but… he’s not really “hot” to me, ever. But I have to admit, he looks really good here. Nice tan, and it doesn’t look orange. Nice outfit. His hair is… thinning but manageable. And he looks even better because he looks nice and confident and “Just Keep Livin’” standing next to Camila “Let Me Arch My Back And Show You The Angles Because I AM HIGH FASHION” Alves.

It was truly a star-studded event at Wednesday’s night’s Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection show to kick off Fashion Week at Lincoln Center. With a star-only roster of models in stunning scarlet dresses by a pantheon of designers, the front row fans included Matthew McConaughey (supporting girlfriend Camila Alves in Kaufman Franco), Bill Rancic (cheering on wife Giuliana Rancic in Marchesa) and Susan Sarandon (applauding for daughter Eva Amurri in Chris Benz).

Julianne Hough opened the upbeat show in her custom Swarovski crystal necklace and satin gown, even giving a perfect twirl mid-stage. Following waves and giggles from Audrina Patridge, in shimmering Badgley Mischka, and a perfectly-timed dropped strap of her Zac Posen gown by Dita von Teese, Alves hit the stage — and so did McConaughey (almost)!

The beaming star lunged out of his front row seat, enthusiastically snapping photos of his gorgeous girlfriend, who walked the runway with the grace and seasoned strut of a true pro. The show ended with Natasha Bedingfield serenading the crowd in a slinky Nicole Miller gown on behalf of sponsor Diet Coke. She got the fashion crowd — and Rancic! — to wave their hands in the air before the models filed out to wild cheering and a standing ovation.

So, everything was for a good cause and obviously Camila and Matt are still tight and everything’s cool, baby. Good for them. They keep their junk undercover for the most part… although there are always new photos of their kids floating around. But it doesn’t seem like a famewhore thing, unlike some kid photo-ops. But I may have to rethink that after seeing Camila almost bust something just so the camera would get her best angle (for charity).

    Kaiser I totally agree with how you phrased that. About both of them actually. All the right parts, but just not that “attractive” to me.
    I wouldn’t look twice at either of them.

  2. mln76 says:

    MacConahay is one of my embarassing celeb crushes I don’t think it’s his body really It’s more the accent and the stoner attitude, he just reminds me of the hippie types I used crush on in college.

  3. guesty says:

    She looks fab in that dress. He’s just meh to me tho.

  4. smith says:

    Agree with your assessment – plus all the (continued) reports of his personal hygiene (or lack there of) freak me a bit.

    True or not the dirty rumors have settled over his persona like a fine layer of filth.

    As for her – she’s smelly by association. Also not sure I’ve ever seen her this close up. Meh. But certainly hot from across the room.

  5. brin says:

    Never trying too hard, just keep livin, no worries. They are so unHollywood and you gotta love them for that.

  6. Rita says:

    Off Topic: I find it strange a guy like Mathew attends a woman’s charity function to support his gal (if that’s what’s going on) but Goopy’s husband is no where to be seen for her biggest events.

  7. lucy2 says:

    When he first got famous, I thought he was cute, but then pretty quickly lost interest. I remember everyone thinking he was going to be a huge movie star, and now he’s best known for rolling around on the beach and being in lame Kate Hudson romcoms.
    Dinosaur arms, lol. I think that every time I see pics of him. But they seem happy, so good for them.

  8. Quest says:

    I had my “for some strange reason – McConaughey” crush at one point in time. Not sure why or how, but it’s all “meh” now.

  9. RHONYC says:

    ‘dinosaur arms’

    bwahahahahahah! classic!

    i always found her look very ‘butterface-esque’ and somehow…hairy?

    i dunno…it’s weird.

    :mrgreen:

  10. whitedaisy says:

    He always seemed like a less talented, stinkier, cheaper version of Paul Newman.

    I’ll take the original.

  11. OXA says:

    I do see him as a hands on parent who is not afraid to be on the beach or around town just him with his kids. That is what makes him attractive,gotta love a man who can and will change a diaper.

  12. OMJ says:

    Tee-hee. Tiny little T-rex arms. Good call Kaiser!

  13. Jenny says:

    That dress does nothing for her breasts, they look so squeezed.

  14. Sumodo1 says:

    Camilla Alves was the host of a reality TV show featuring hair stylists. Her English is absolutely awful, as if she didn’t even try to pronounce the words and “freestyled” her lines. I know she’s Brazillian but on some chat boards I frequent, even Brazillians complained she has a speech impediment!

  15. Marjalane says:

    “dinosaur arms” HA! I’ve always thought his arms were oddly disproportional too. I’m seeing a whole bunch of TRY from both of them- esp. Matthew, he’s sporting that male model smarmy smirk. That, and his reported smelliness, so yeah, she’s smelly by association.

  16. Kim says:

    Let Me Arch My Back And Show You The Angles Because I AM HIGH FASHION” Alves.

    Let throw away the empty box of tissues i had to use from crying over this hilarious statement!!!!

    Exactly what i thought before i even read what was written. To funny Kaiser!

  17. Kim says:

    How many D list desperate people can walk 1 runway! Audrina, Juliana Hough, Guliana Rancic, Dita Von Teese – all thats missing is someone from one of the Real Housewives shows!

    Camillas dress is tacky- looks like Fredricks of Hollywood.

    OMG White Daisy – Good call! I never thought of that but you are dead on.

  18. JO says:

    I hate to be mean… but the boy child is unfortunate looking.. not sure yet about the girl He is meh… I too used to think he was cute back in the day… but she talks like she has a mouth full of marbles. I think that Jonathan guy from the one of those hair reality shows couldn’t stand her and spoke publicly about her. I agree with the Fredricks comment..

  19. sapphire says:

    He’s definitely got the stoner gaze going. A few bong hits before the red carpet, methinks.

  20. scarlett says:

    love them…he’s still hot – maybe because he just doesn’t seem to be trying too hard..they seem like a couple that genuinely enjoys being together and loves their kids – what could be better than that – I think they’re great

  21. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    I love him but not in a wanna lay ya kinda love. its like I would so like to hang with him, he seems laid back and cool. She looks dumber than a box of rocks.

    Oh well, cant win em all!

  22. Jennifer says:

    Love Matthew and his attitude (down-to-earth, fun-loving, active, authentic.) Beautiful family.

  23. garvels says:

    Wow-Handsome couple. I love her dress. If I looked like that in a dress I would be posing in front of a camera all day long :o)

  24. Jacq says:

    Her ta-ta’s look awful and the fit of that dress gives her a gut. A little, Hispanic Teresa Guidice.

  25. lrm says:

    love them-and i don’t think she is trying too hard at all…
    remember she was a model? or she still is? she has a website-before she even met him. and personally, i think she looks shy in these pics, and still post-partum-so she probl wants to look her best in the shots, but seems nervous.
    As for him-one of the best daily show interviewees ever-he and jon stewart were hilarious…
    and MM talked about his trips to africa and his favorite african musician. Mali, I believe. That well known guy musician-i am not going to try to spell his name off memory…MM seems like a cool guy actually. He’s a bit too machismo texan for me-but he does wear his sexuality on his sleeve and he is who he is, so i gotta respect that.

    btw, their kids are in the running for cutest celeb kids…i know it’s not a competition-but omg they are freakin’ adorable!

    I like them. She seems like she is doing her best to handle ‘fame’ via her husband…that she’s not that into it, but is taking advantage of the opportunity-like her handbag line, etc.-to make connections, etc.

    Who wouldn’t?
    Remember his comments that she was the first woman he met who could go hiking and climbing a n d not shower for a week? that she was very physical. lol.
    so, folks that get smelly together, stay together, i guess….

  26. lrm says:

    she’s brasilian, not hispanic. and less than a year post partum, isn’t she? not a great dress, however-i agree on that.

  27. Tazina says:

    He looks nice and cleaned up here. When he works out he’s probably pretty rank but obviously he’s going to shower most of the time. Camila’s body language tells me she is a woman who is getting satisfying sex and lots of it.

  28. dj says:

    I love him. They both seem to be very family oriented and probably hang out at the same beach places alot with their kids (trying to be normal). Which is great. Love his just keep living attitude. He could have been a much bigger star but he made a conscious choice to chill a little more.

  29. Quest says:

    I remember why I had this weird crush on him at one point in time…it was the naked bongo playing, pot smoking thing….he he he.

    Sadly, that time was brief and has passed.

  30. Patricia says:

    I see she has the glittery stripper skin…classy.

  31. gawdo says:

    They are shameless paparazzi callers, totally gross. They make a bunch of cash on the side and let everyone think they are amazing parents because they are doing leg-ups with junior. Gag.

  32. Isa says:

    I tell my husband I have the arms of a T-Rex and he laughs everytime. 🙂

    Ever seen Meet the Robinsons? “I have a big head and little arms!!”

    I think she looks really great in that dress. And I love the fat that her belly isn’t completely flat or sucked in on one of those Spanx thingys. Not that there’s anything wrong with Spanx. She just looks so naturally beautiful. I’m not explaining myself well here.

  33. Patty says:

    I saw him in person once – jogging barefoot -his body rocks and my jaw dropped. I did a double take and tried to follow in my heels, but just could not keep up!

  34. Kasper says:

    He peaked as Wooderson, it’s been all downhill from there. On the other hand, the worse he gets the more money he makes.

  35. Ally says:

    Line on last night’s Raising Hope:

    “Text me which movie you want to see. I’ll see anything that doesn’t have Mathew McConaughey.”

    A sad jumped-the-shark moment for the guy, perhaps.

  36. GM says:

    I wonder if she showed up at this event without him if she would get as much coverage. May sound cynical, but she always seems to need him around to get maximum attention, because who was she without him? Just another model that nobody knew about.
    I think it’s nice he takes his kids out but he doesn’t seem to play with them as much as make it an exercise opportunity.

  37. Newbie says:

    I love most of MM’s drama movies over a lot of the romantic comedies he does. But either way, he’s completely beautiful to me. And his girlie is very attractive too.

  38. poopie says:

    i used to REALLY crush on him but now, not so much. he’s had ‘some work’ done, on his face, maybe eye area????? i can’t pin it down, but he just looks diff and very plastic. and i’m thinking maybe she is really his beard?

  39. phlyfiremama says:

    Whatever he did to his face, it is creepy. His forehead is even more immobile than Nicole Kidmans. I used to crush on him too, but his one dimensional acting turned me off.

  40. Zvonk says:

    He’s pigeon toed too. Not attractive.
