Eva Mendes in orange Prada at the Met Gala: interesting or hideous?

Here are some of my final thoughts on this year’s Met Gala – lots of bad hair, a generous helping of bad fashion, but mostly it just felt like many women simply got it wrong. Not that they were actively bad, just that they weren’t really good. So here’s one of my choices for worst dressed of the evening, right up there with Beyonce, Kate Bosworth and Florence Welch – Eva Mendes. Eva wore Prada – is this orange? Is it red? Is it just terrible? Ryan Gosling was not with her, obviously. I’m not even sure they’re still together. Maybe this is her breakup dress? She looks like a Halloween piñata.

Here’s Amber Heard in Zac Posen, with Zac Posen. I adore this color on her, but this whole look feels very… Oscars. I think if Amber ever gets invited to the Oscars, she’ll wear something like this, and style herself like this. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course. It just feels very “establishment” for someone so young. Plus, she’s kind of bad at making “model-faces” and the dress is just too tight – look at what it’s doing to her boobs.

And here’s Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in striped Burberry. I know she doesn’t fit, but she didn’t really go anywhere else either. Rosie is becoming one of those girls who can pretty much pull off any look. I’m not declaring her a “Blanchett” or anything, but Rosie can the wear the crap out of a lot of different looks. On another girl, a striped dress – even one from Burberry – would have been horrible. On Rosie, it’s kind of awesome. I think the one design flaw is the neck – that clunky stuff so high is a bad effect.

    What’s with Eva’s facial expression in all the pics of her at the Met Gala? I haven’t seen one of her just plainly smiling. Every picture looks like she’s a deer in the headlights. Is she trying to look interesting? Or sultry? I hate her dress…ugh!

    • Katie says:

      It’s like a Halloween dress!

    • Marjalane says:

      She looks like she’s plotting her revenge on whatever bitch set her up with that dress! She’s never been a smiley person anyway, it just emphasizes her manjaw.

    • Alexis says:

      Eva’s facial expressions look like the facial expressions The Rock would make while in character.

    • janie says:

      Her face kinda looks like it’s stuck that way. New surgery?

  2. marie says:

    poor Eva, that dress is atrocious.. She needs to fire whoever the hell did that to her.. I mean, who signed off on boob flash..

    • lucy says:

      eva looks horrible, I can’t believe she has chosen this hideous dress. Awful taste for a tacky women !

  3. another nina says:

    Eva is a nightgown nightmare.
    Rosie is gorgeous but boring here.

  4. mia girl says:

    I actually don’t like RH-W’s dress at all. Looks like she’s wrapped in black and gold tinsel.

    • laylajanelovesgossip says:

      Plus Rosie looks like a tranny from Rupaul’s dragrace show..Eva is so pretty why is she wearing that mess of a dress?? She can’t be that drunk….

  5. Tiffany27 says:

    Amber, girl take it easy with the face poses.

  6. Sisi says:

    you know those peppermints you get at a restaurant with the bill? That’s all I see on Eva’s dress… That or sticky electrodes used in the hospital..

  7. QQ says:

    I Think Eva Looks Like she hates her dress and whats a Drink, it looks cheap, the bodice looks like it has cheap plastic pieces, and Can we all form a “Fuck Peplum” coalition?? if these Hollyweird Starved Types cannot pull it off what the fuck chance we’ve got???

    Seriously Peplum just SUCKS

    Amber Heard Looks Very Glorious but Very Golden Globes, You Can and Should go a bit crazy/structural whatever at that particular event

  8. Jayna says:

    Am I the only one? Eva’s dress and color works beautifully on her.

  9. amica says:

    Lainey says someone must have “meangirled” Eva to make her end up wearing that hideous dress. She IS the most hated woman in the world right now, according to Joan Rivers.

  10. janet says:

    Yes, Eva and Ryan are still together. They flew to NY together. But they are being very sneaky about it. Both left the airport separately. It’s just silly to keep hiding. It looks stupid. Everyone knows they are together.

    • Nina says:

      How do you know they flew to NYC ?

      • janet says:

        Someone was on the same plane as them and tweeted about it. Here’s what he said:

        “I’m not one to gossip, but Ryan was canoodling across the country with Eva Mendez.”

      • Peach Dancer says:

        Yeah the dress is pretty underwhelming.
        BTW the commend on twitter was posted by the CEO of an international PR agency. Why would a professional PR person post something so personal?

      • lilly says:

        Good point. I’m still really wondering whether this relationship is legit or not. They just seem so showmancey. They have cooled off on the photo ops, but this acting so obviously coy is drawing more attention. They say they want to be private and low key, but they are not.

    What the heck are these designers at Prada smoking?! “This bright orange dress doesn’t look right…it needs some glued on marshmellows …and After Eights on the bust area…”

  12. Anne Carol says:

    Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is stunning. It is the sum of beauty, class, elegance. Eva Mendes has always seemed an ordinary girl. More beautiful than she is in the millions. I do not like your clothes, but she’s not the worst of the event.

  13. I Choose Me says:

    Am I the only one that thinks that color looks good on her? Don’t like the whatever those are on her bodice but other than that, I actually thinks she looks good.

  14. B says:

    Eva looks amazing! I love this color on her, her skin is glowing, and her hair & make-up are perfect!
    I have a girl crush on Amber Heard. She looks gorgeous as always, the red lips & purple dress are a nice match. Did she lose weight? She looks thinner. Too thin. Not good.
    Rosie Whatshername bugs the crap out of me.

  15. jojo says:

    Someone tweeted that Ryan and Eva are getting married. Omg, I hope that’s not true!!!

  16. Anne de Vries says:

    I like the colour on Eva Mendes, and the dress wouldn’t be bad if only she had fended off the crazy person with the glue gun and the basket full of bottle caps..

  17. normades says:

    Eva just looks budget.

    Amber’s dress is AMAZING!
