Met Gala Extras, Part 2: Salma, Eva, Penelope, Claire & more

fp_7250215_metgala_ram_137_256

Hopefully (!?!?) this is the last post of the day regarding the Met Gala and the parade of fug that we’ve been covering all day. And to celebrate, I give you Salma Hayek’s incredible boobs, clothed in this nude-peach Alexander McQueen. Salma’s date was her husband, Frenchie von Moneybags (I don’t feel like looking up the spelling of his real name!). I actually love Salma’s dress. I like that she went understated, and I like that the girls are contained beautifully.

Maggie Gyllenhaal in Stella McCartney (sidenote: there was SO MUCH Stella last night!). I like the idea of the dress, but I wish there was more support for the girls in the bodice. Maggie is looking a little saggy, I think.

Emma Stone in Lanvin – one of the few girls to wear Lanvin, that I know of. It looks like budget D&G, but it’s young and cute, so why not?

Eva Mendes in Stella McCartney. Love the color, hate the design, hate the DrunkFace.

Michelle Williams in Miu Miu. Meh meh, more like. I dub this “The Flock of Seagulls Dress”. CHANGE IT UP, MW.

Penelope Cruz in Oscar de la Renta. Considering de la Renta’s designs were being jacked all over the place, it’s surprising that he chose this black mess for Penelope. Look how odd it is – weird stripes, feather duster train, feather detailing at the hip…? Weird.

Claire Danes in Calvin Klein. We’ve seen this look on Claire a million times before. She sticks with simple and classic, and it’s starting to feel really boring and safe.

Leighton Meester in Louis Vuitton. The whole ensemble – dress and shoes (and hair) makes her look dumpy and frumpy. Meh. She could look so pretty if she would just get out of this “I’m so high fashion” streak.

My girl Saoirse Ronan in Rodarte. Beautiful and appropriate for a girl her age. Very pretty.

    I actually really like the Eva Mendes dress. Her face looks crazydrunk but I still like the dress. I wish Claire had worn a statement necklace or something – to give it some spice!

  2. brin says:

    Salma looks good…the rest, meh. Maggie G. looks saggy and drab.

  3. arock says:

    love the first two. and claire danes
    agree with franny- eva mendes looks wine drunk.

  4. Cheyenne says:

    I don’t care if Danes’ dress is “boring and safe”, it’s gorgeous and she looks great in it.

  5. lrm says:

    salma is the only one who carried off the girly/semi nightgown/babydoll AND peach/pale color….
    though i do like jessica alba’s.
    salma looks the best; she truly is a beauty, but i think she is such a major snooty biatch, and i honestly dont think i’ve ever seen her act….
    so she’s just a celeb to me.

  6. mia girl says:

    I love Maggie G., but I have to ask if the asymmetrical breasts where part of McCartney’s design?

  7. Nanea says:

    Out of this group I like Saoirse best (minus the shoes), and then Salma and François-Henri Pinault. *grins*

    I would have liked Maggie’s dress, had the bodice been shaped differently, to actually offer support.

    Michelle is boring, as is Claire, and I don’t get what Penélope was thinking.

  8. Quest says:

    Salma looks great…luv the dress

  9. divax says:

    Why is Salma always pulling that pseudo “femme fatale” face – y’know: sucked in cheeks, lips apart w/visible tongue, eyes half open? She’s beautiful enough without that affectation. She also needs to part her hair on the side. Centre parts do nothing for anyone. Just ask the Goop….

  10. lucy2 says:

    I like all of these better than most of the other stuff we’ve seen.
    Claire’s needed something more, Leighton’s is a bit dull, and Eva’s dress was interesting but her face is not!

  11. Maritza says:

    Salma Hayek is the best looking one there, all the other dresses were either boring or frumpy looking.

  12. Raven Sparrow says:

    Who is that lady in the Claire Danes pic? She has a gorgeous profil, would love to see her face in full.

  13. apsutter says:

    I like Maggie G but for god’s sake I wish she would wear a bra once in a while

  14. curmudgeon says:

    Michelle Williams always dresses too old for that cute young face.

  15. kazoo says:

    i love her, but maggie never wears a bra. she definitely got the best stella dress of the night, though.

    i’d like claire’s dress on someone else.

  16. Raised brow says:

    Is that Dakota Fanning behind Emma Stone?

  17. benny says:

    I think that feather thing at Penelope’s hip is her purse, not part of the dress. But I could be mistaken.

  18. RocketMerry says:

    Yay, Maggie!! Cute, but yeah, they should have fitted the dress better.

  19. k says:

    Kaiser and CB: beige =/= “nude”. Please; not everyone is a white girl.

  20. Melissa says:

    @Raven Sparrow – the person in profile in the Claire Danes pic looks like Olivia Wilde to me,but I’m not positive.

  21. Ron says:

    Saoirse Ronin and Emma stone are really up and coming style stars.

  22. Stephy2585 says:

    @ raised brow…i noticed that too!

    what is that girl up to these days? oh, right, twilight.

    also her dress=fug

  23. Brittney says:

    I guess you must be going in the order you’re getting the pictures… because in what universe does Kirsten Dunst get her own post but Penelope and Salma are relegated to “extra” status?!!

  24. Marytere says:

    Stop it with the met gala!!
    On a side note, I loved Salma, and I really really hate (with al my heart) Michelle Williams’ haircut

  25. Celebs.com says:

    WTF is up with Mendes’s face?

  26. Turtle says:

    Salma looks amazing. Love her.

  27. serena says:

    I just get one simply and basic thing out of this fug parade: Stella Mccartney’s dresses were the most horrible, and I’m starting to think she kind of hated the celebrities she dressed.

  28. Kat says:

    I love Saoirse, but that Rodarte dress is a frakking trainwreck.

  29. Kim says:

    Maggie looks AWFUL!! Stand up straight and put on some proper undergarments for goodness sake! She ruined a beautiful dress!

    Salma needs to stop jacking with her face.

    Eve Mendes looks like a tranny – as she always does.

    Claire Danes raided Barbies closet and looks terrible. The dress doesnt fit her properly and what in the world is going on with the boobs? They look greased up and smashed down?! She has a boy build esp the chest and this dress is terrible on her.

  30. harfang says:

    Mendes’ dress is a great color and fits her well, but seriously, if McCartney wants to do a Mackie-*inspired* garment, that is one thing… Totally ripping him off is another. Not like Bob Mackie, who lurks on HSN and such these days, is sacrosanct or something. I just think Stella could have made it more her own design without much effort; it’s not as though she is untalented…

  31. jemshoes says:

    Salma looks beautiful! Very fairytale. Penelope, too.

    Maggie’s so pretty when she smiles, and it would have worked wonders for the dress if she had been in that photo, because I love the dress – the colour and sparkle. Maggie knows how to wear dark blues!

  32. Lindy says:

    @ k–thank you for the beige =/= nude comment. I am a pretty ignorant white girl myself, but I thought the whole “nude” or “flesh” terminology went away in, like, 1987 when Crayola got wise to how white privilegey that was.

    In any case, Salma seems to be the only one who managed to rock that peachy/beige shade.

  33. Sumodo1 says:

    Salma is clearly married to the man who controls fashion. What a gown! And, Saoirse wore the hell out of that red dress! No one else came close.

  34. wifeyskarsgard says:

    Salma was the only girl that made her dress work….the rest are a hot mess.

  35. SoCal says:

    Th best was Eva and Selma is beautiful, but HOW MANY TIMES MUST WE SEE THAT DARN DRESS??!! I am over this dress already, please try something new, take a risk will ya?

  36. rainstarr says:

    Why in the world did you note the average Gossip girl and leave out Dakota Fanning?! I can see her in the background of Emma Stone’s pic, and she looks absolutely lovely! Very fairytale-like and perfect for her age, and if anyone says ‘prom dress’ I say that if I wore that dress to my prom, all eyes would be on me! Perfect colouring for her, too.

  37. Newbie says:

    Is that Dakota Fanning in the background (in the shot of Emma Stone)? Girl, grow up! Do you want to be known as a disney princess forever? Why oh why?
    Salma is a bombshell. Apathy about everything else. I would love Leighin’ Misters’s look if she got rid of the shoes. The shoes make it too much, imo.

  38. rep says:

    I agree there was too much Stella McCartney. The reasons are pretty unclear to me, since I didn’t see anything particularly remarkable, or innovative or even flattering. The dress she chose for herself is boring and unflattering, too.
    I think that she isn’t that creative and that her family name helped her so much…

  39. Andie B says:

    My Lord Maggie must have died when she saw that photo of her. Eva Mendes had clearly been on the wine, and her dress = not nice. Penelope Cruz looks amazing. I’m seeing a lot of Stella McCartney designs that are just hideous at the moment.

  40. Kasey says:

    Claire-I can’t hate for having a preference and sticking with it.

    Maggie-why does she look so OLD?! Has it been that long? Is she undergoing stress? Is she or someone in her family ill? Perhaps its dealing with all these rumors that her brother likes guys and wanting him to find a nice girl to marry and have a family with?….

    Saoirse Ronan (whoever she is her name reads like the name of a plant we used for bush medicine growing up in the islands and I wonder if its pronounced that way as well)-her dress is age appropriate? REALLY? I admit I don’t know how old she is but because you said that I’m thinking 15 – 19. The color is great but the dress looks matronly. Like something one of the Olsen twins might prance around in. Nonetheless, like the Olsen twins, I don’t always like the way they dress, but they are modest and never skanky. Big props to her (and her parents?) for not conforming.

    Salma’s dress A-MAzing! At first I wondered about it being better without that big flower but when I tried to picture it without, it wasn’t working. This dress is AWESOME! I have a similar figure (heavy on top but same measurements on the bottom and both considerably larger than the middle) and I think I just found my wedding dress! I would SOOO rock this in white! Just gotta find a groom!

  41. Magsy says:

    Salma looks good. Maggie needs to let her hair down and loose, or cut it a la Jamie Lee without the gray. Michelle “Peter Pan” Williams looks more like a Real Housewife than a Hollywood actress. If you can’t smile, stay home. Her dress is yuck, yuck makeup, yuck hairstyle. Become a monk already. Formerly Spicy Hot Eva makes a blah brunette. Her dress is awful especially the belt, the one arm out, the pleats. Leighton Meester looks like a dominatrix wannabee. Only like Emma’s flowery dress.

    What is up with Maggie’s boobs?
