I barely know what to say about these two girls, Lea Michele and Kate Bosworth. I kind of wonder why I’ve never thought about comparing the two of them before. They’re very similar – in that they both approach the red carpet with a sense of hunger. Actual hunger, because, let’s face it, there are real concerns about when these two ever eat solid food. And metaphorical hunger, the hunger for fame, the hunger to be recognized, the hunger for acknowledgement that they are truly fashionable girls.
Lea Michele wore Diane Von Furstenberg – it’s kind of boring, but I genuinely like this on Lea. It flatters her figure, the color is great on her, and she styled it beautifully with the matching clutch (too matchy-matchy, but I think it’s fine) and the drop necklace. Great hair too.
As for Kate Bosworth in feathered Prada. You know what the worst part is? Sienna Miller did this look in a now-infamous Vogue spread in 2007 (infamous because it was the subject of The September Issue). Sienna was styled with an extremely high, tight bun, and the theme of the pictorial was “feathers”. Why is The Bos so dated? Why is she the most boring feathered person there? Why did she choose that lip color? So… The Bos is my choice for the most try-hard person in this post. Lea Michele’s hungry, as always, but The Bos was a disaster.

They both look amazing! I’d kill for Leah’s dress and Kate is just stunning as always. IMO Kate’s one of the most gorgeous girls I’ve ever seen. A+ for both.
DUDE! I’m sorry, a lot of these airheads are dressed as if they were going to a Meth gala…good grief!
Lea Michele looks good. Hate when that happens.
I like the color of KB’s dress, and the purse, but her hair and makeup-not good, and she’s got to stop with the goofy posing.
Between the feathers and the posing she looks like she’s about to crap out an egg.
Why has no one mentioned that fact that in pic three there seems to be an Amish lady on the loose in a Laura Ashley dress and that there is a tinseled Christmas tree in a dress in pic 5?
LOL @OriginalTiffany
Turns out the Amish girl is Lilly Collins, who knew?
OMGosh.. It just seemed like an event that ANYONE was invited too. NO real HUGH A listers. I wasn’t waiting for anyone to arrive
thank goodness after today nobody will be talking about any of them.
but I did like both dresses.
I like both looks
Will everyone please stop with the top knots. I have yet to see one person they look good on.
no kiddin.. awful
I always feel bad for anyone from Croyden when I see ‘that’ facelift.
I love her lipstick, but I loathe that tiny little bun/knot she always wears. It really highlights the fact that she basically has no hair left.
Love both dresses and overall looks…but I do hate the top knot…it looks tacky.
Lea looks lovely; she is toned and trim and the color suits her. Bosworth looks like a q-tip with black ear fuzz.
Love Lea’s dress. Don’t like Kate’s at all. Kate’s topknot really makes the fact that she has thin hair stand out. Her hair is probably thin from not eating properly…or at all.
Boswoth lookes the best that night
agreed
Kate needs to keep that ear covered.
I don’t love the glitter on Lea but overall it’s a nice look.
Bosworth, however … the hair is so bad. It really shoves her too-thin hair in your face and highlights her uneven hairline. And her clenched jaw. Why do skinny girls do this? The pinched mouth and clenched jaw and general look of constipation? It’s not cute.
I like Lea’s look although it was boring and didn’t stand out. Kate’s hair was pulled so tight, her face was frightening. I couldn’t get past it to the dress.
Love her lipstick, I think they both look good.
The only thing disaster-y about Bosworth was the fake tan and the stupid pose with her toes turned in like a 1st grader.
Omg I know!! I was like “why nobody speaks about this catastrophic fake tan?!!!!!!” I actually thought it was some kind of art at first!!
Yep, I KNEW she would pull out the infamous newborn giraffe pose, she allllways does, she is so predictable.
Leah is strutting her stuff like she is the next coming of Marilyn Monroe, clearly in her own mind already a legend. When she tries to jut out that non-existent boobage it just looks painfull. Like she might actually be having neck spasms or something. The hair does not improve the look, either. It’s like a 40-something B-movie star from the 60-70’s was coming down the carpet. HUGE MISS!
As for Kate – why is she even here?? At least Swank makes a movie once a decade, but this one? What the heck has she been in lately to justify her constant parading on red carpets on both sides of the Atlantic? I do not hate her look, per se. I guess I just can’t stand her, so she is ruining it for me. Girl, if you’re that f-ing skinny, do not pull your hair into such a tight granny bun. Makes you look ready to break at a tiniest wiff of wind.
Both are BAD, but at least Kate is behaving like a normal person. Leah definitely takes the cake for me, what with the pathetic attempts at ‘sexiness’ that actually look totally hilarious on her.
She’s there because she’s a fashion girl. Fashion people love her. Prada made a custom dress for her, just like they did for Gwyneth…
If it is so custom, then why is it a complete ripoff of a Emilio Pucci Fall/Winter 2010 dress?

There are several other designers with nearly identical dresses too. (Jason Wu, Versace, Dior)
And Elizabeth Banks wore a similar dress by Gucci to the Met Gala in back in 2010:

Can’t believe you didn’t mention that hideously bad fake tan job on Bosworth! That’s all I can see.. even the Cracken’s fake tan is never that bad
Actually, I think it was the lighting because a lot of the people photographed looked kind of orange.
Don’t think it’s the lighting, here’s KB from Saturday, the arm coloring looks pretty much the same as yesterday:

Oh no… you need to see the pictures of Donald Trump and his wife.
Holy crap, they were Oompa-Loompa orange last night at this event.
It is tragic what he has done to that wife of his. What once was a striking looking girl… turned into a girl cover in Cheetos dust.
(Please lets see those pictures!)
scan down this link… they are listed here…

And the biggest try hard last night… was Gwyneth.
I like both dresses, hate both women. And their makeup.
i like kate’s prada way better.
Like the blue dress – hate the feather thing (what is this, the third feather dress?)
Lea looks great, but could have used some hip padding to really balance and give her shape some oomph.
I also like both. I just hate Bosworth’s hair and lipstick-I’m sure they were shooting for Black Swan chic but it’s comes off as too severe. I do really like the dresses…Hate to say it but Lea looks great.
If I had Kate’s ears, would never wear my hair up.
wish kate’s dress was longer but actually love her lip, look.
Both dresses are gorgeous – it’s the ridiculous posing that makes them look like idiots.
Lea looks great…should’ve had her hair in a tight low pony….would’ve been more sleek with that dress.
What’s with the 2 tone tan on KB? Also, the look has already been done. I don’t get why she’s considered a ‘fashion icon’, when there is nothing original about her style.
I like the color & fit of Lea’s dress. Don’t like the necklace though.
Lea for onnce did not look as try hard. She looked beautiful posed like she wasn’t high on alien model meth.
Really? I’m sorry, but Elizabeth Banks takes this one. I LOL’d in real life when that one popped up. Or Beyonce’s blueberry thicket of a dress with mandatory hand-bolted-to-hip pose? Meh, these twits aren’t nearly as bad.
KB’s hair is so severe. Not flattering. Her face is a different color than the rest of her. Oddly tan. And that lipstick screams chola circa 97.
Why is the Bos two different colours? Her face is made up pale then her back and legs are just saturated with bronzing gel, that coupled with the top knot just makes her look trashy.
Oh Kate come on there are professionals who can tan you correctly plus her make up artist should have compensated for the fake tan on her body and matched her face to it.
Lea is not bringing sexyback. The Boz looks busted.
Lea michele looked good i have to say, i don’t think she’s pretty but there’s something cute about her and she looks very nice here.
Kate looks amazing i really like this look on her BUT not for this event if she would have worn this to the grammys it would have been perfect but for the met gala is a big no.
I LOVE Lea’s dress and styling. I think it’s the one of the best looks of the evening.
The Bos’ makeup is hideous but the dress is sort of cool.
I’m kind of embarrassed for Kate. Poor Kate, She thinks she looks so fab, you can notice that just through the pics. Lol. Try hard indeed.
I like both dresses but not Kate’s makeup, tan or hairstyle.
I think Lea look really good in that dress. Not that crazy on the hair though.
I like the composition of Kate. Just was unhappy in his position. I like the color of lipstick and dress. And she has a beautiful face.
Lea: I do not understand how a woman without breasts that wears a dress. Front looks like a man. Leah always seems very artificial carpet. She makes a lot of poise. If you think the maximum. But in reality has no height nor beauty to such prominence.
Kate is always try hard. And that small top knot of hers paired with her ridiculous stance just makes her look even more ridiculous. Leah looks pretty good actually.
Is it just me, or does Lea have the same fake smile as Makenzie from Toddlers and Tiaras??
I do like the Bos’ look, though not necessarily for this event. But omg yes she is such a try hard. Should go back to her hot Blue Crush weight!
God help me, but I actually like Lea’s look.
I love Lea’s dress. That color is gorgeous and the whole look was really pretty and elegant; didn’t like the necklace though. As for the Bos, that was not a good look on her, but I do envy her skin A LOT.
Lea looks gorgeous honestly.
oh dear, what the hell was KB wearing??? and the hair!! and the makup!! and the tan in her shoulders but not in the rest of her body!! trying too hard. and she´s so pretty, anorexic but pretty. I don´t get it.
I think this is one of KB’s worst looks ever. First she is about 3 different colors which is weird, that bun on her head is pulled so tight you feel looking at her that her eyes are going to pop out of her head and with her ears, how can her people let her wear her hair like that.
I am sorry with the fact that the girl has no skin tone at all, why would she wear that color lipstick, not everyone can pull off such a dark shade, and I know that the dress was made by Prada, but it definitely wasn’t appropriate for the MET GALA. Just look at all the wonderfully beautiful and talented women at this event and look at what they were wearing, I mean seriously, I believe someone posted that it was more of a Grammy dress or even maybe a small red carpet event, but not the MET GALA.
The fact that only two or three gossip/fashion sites are even mentioning her, shows that finally even the paps/columnists realize what the majority of us have known for a long time, KB is a void, a useless human being, who will and does anything for attention.
Why does Kate Bosworth always look like an Orc! Seriously fug woman!
Lea ought to get that big honking nose of hers cut down. She looks like an ant eater. Maybe the Bos can suggest the plastic surgeon who did all the work on her.
And really, the stance the Bos affects with her pigeon toed “am I not adorable?” pose……she’s just plain annoying and has the worst taste in Hollywood.
