Jennifer Lopez in reptilian Michael Kors at the Met Gala: awesome or awful?

Call me crazy, but I actually like Jennifer Lopez’s Met Gala look. No, it’s not punk. At all. And I’m surprised to find out that it’s Michael Kors, because Kors has been phoning it in, design-wise, for a while. But I actually think J.Lo looks good here. Think about it – Jennifer is covered up yet still showing her crazy body. The cut of the gown is clingy yet perfect. The reptilian vibe of the pattern really works. And Jennifer paid homage to the punk theme with big hair, I guess. Yeah, I really like this. I think this works so much better for the Met Gala than, say, Gwyneth’s dumb pink dress. Oh, and Casper Smart was there. Which sort of negates all of the nice things I just said about Jennifer. Ugh.

Speaking of disappointing couples, Gisele and Tom Brady were at the Met Gala, like always, although Gisele looked like she was about to go clubbing in Miami. Gisele wore an Anthony Vacarello minidress. I mean… for a premiere, or for a party or something, it would have been fine. It’s a sexy little mini and she has a crazy body. But for the Met Gala? It just seems kind of trashy. And I don’t know if I should even speak to whatever is going on with Tom Brady. I think Gisele just dresses him up like he’s her personal Ken doll.

    I could see Nancy Spungen liking that dress Jlo is wearing. She would have ripped it to shreds and worn blue eyeshadow, but she would still like the dress.

  2. LadyMTL says:

    I like JLo’s look, it reminds me of the black dress that Rihanna wore last year…I think it was last year? No, it’s not really punk but it’s better than some of the crap that others wore (coughKKcough).

    As for Gisele yikes! I can practically see her babymaker – can we say short?

  3. Lulu.T.O. says:

    I covet JLow’s dress!

    Giselle looks like a giraffe in that first picture. She should give some of her neck length to Tracy Anderson…

    • littlestar says:

      Me too. JLo’s dress is exactly something I would wear. I’m a sucker for reptile and animals prints, and if it’s a form fitting dress, even better. She wasn’t full out punk, but her hair kinda helped to get her there.

      I just wish she would DUMP KASPER SMART ALREADY!!! I will never NEVER understand him.

  4. Eleonor says:

    JLo is perfect, the them was punk an fashion, and she did it right.
    Gisele is a huge NO.

  5. Nev says:

    AWESOME.

    Smouldering. Soooo sexy.

  6. DanaG says:

    J Lo looks hot like the dress not punk at all but she looks good. Gisele had the attitude and some punk girls did show lot’s of skin but wouldn’t have been caught dead in a mini dress like that. Casper is still around???

  7. Fefe says:

    This was a totally miss for Gisele, sorry girl, that wasn’t a good day. Tom really looks like a Ken doll, that was so funny!! I find him so uninteresting… Blah… JLow looks fine, although it wasn’t punk…. But who actually wore punk?!!!!

    • Liv says:

      Me too. At least she made an effort to be punky, I find this 100 time more interesting than Gwyneth’s or Uma’s dress.

  8. Aiobhan says:

    I think JLo looks great in a sea of half-assed or even poorly dressed people. So that might not be a compliment that it should be. I love the fit of the dress and her makeup is perfection.

  9. Tessa says:

    Am I the only one that thinks Gisele comes off as a huge awkward dork, and so does Tom Brady? For two beautiful people, and one superior athlete, they are so dorky!

  10. The Original Original says:

    I guess I am biased as a new englander but I think Tom is HOT. Even dressed like this. Just saying.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      I’m a biased fan as well but I think he’s hot. My favorite look for him is during the post-game press conferences. Man, he always looks SO GOOD.

      *runs and hides*

    • Audrey says:

      Yupp. Biased but loving Tom. As always

      Hate on Gisele if you want. No super bowl wins since he got with her. Hmmmmm!

    • j.eyre says:

      *San Francisco fan side-eying all of you*

      (still bitter we didn’t get him)

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        @ J-When I was in SF I said I’d become a Giants fan just for the stadium. What a beautiful location! I only saw the park from the outside but it looked incredible 🙂

  11. Shade says:

    I suppose since Kartrashian was allowed, Casper can attend too. When will Jennifer get rid of this douche???

  12. Harriet says:

    I think Tom is wearing Tom Ford. And I genuinely don’t think she makes any decisions for him because she’s usually much better dressed. Tom doesn’t get the meaning of fitting, and cut and this time, colour. Gisele’s dress looks amazing! I love that she wears it with attitude. Disagree all you want, I am sticking to
    the fact I thought she looked awesome!

  13. Ag says:

    JLo looks amazing! Hasn’t looked better in a while. Gisele and Tom – please.

  14. Jayna says:

    Jennifer looks great.

  15. Rinny says:

    JLO looks fantastic IMO.

    Giselle is a mess. She looks SUPER awkward in the first pic. Eew.

  16. L says:

    I just don’t get how these women are thinking this fits the ‘punk’ theme

  17. Jolinda says:

    I like JLo’s dress but her hair totally ruins the entire look. Only Gwen Stefani could pull that off.

  18. The Original G says:

    I think JLo looks aged in this outfit and hair. She looks like Casper’s mother.

  19. carol says:

    I love jennifer’s hair

  20. lucy2 says:

    Gisele’s look is terrible, especially that awful pose. How can she sit in that dress?
    I oddly kind of like JLo’s.

  21. gatinha says:

    i love jlo’s hair and overall i think it is a win for her.

  22. truthful says:

    I didn’t care for this look, it aged her to me–or is it just her arm candy bringing her down??

    Gisele looks drunk or something

    I wanted someone to do the metal thing like she has going on BUT in a long fitted fashion.

    Grace Jones would have given EVERYONE life in her prime–she has some stuff hanging in her closet right now that would have fit perfectly, her everyday dramatic wear. 🙂

  23. A says:

    Wait.

    Brady is 1,93 cm.
    Gisele is 1,80 cm + 10 cm heels = 1,90 cm.

    Why is he towering over her?? Is she lying about her height cause she doesn’t seem to be over 1,70.

    • Harriet says:

      OH. MY. GOD. I don’t know what to say to this comment. SERIOUSLY!??

      • A says:

        Srsly, does he not look like the tallest man in the world in those photos?

      • Harriet says:

        If anything he might be taller than he claims. But Gisele Bundchen is definitely not 170cm tall. Look at her legs! They’re impossibly long!

  24. Kristine says:

    JLo looks really good and I LOVE her hair.

    Gisele meh

  25. Mingy says:

    Jlo looks so good..her ass is biteable (did i just say that!)..UGH @ Casper.

  26. BooBooLaRue says:

    JLo’s rendition of “exciting” housewife of Miami Beach. Gisele’s rendition of a horsewife of Boston.

  27. Janet says:

    Love JLo’s dress and she is wearing the hell out of it.

  28. Thiajoka says:

    When it comes to couture, why does anyone wear Michael Kors or Stella McCartney? I think JLo looks like a tranny about to go on stage.

  29. CosmicGirl says:

    LOVED Michelle’s dress! She looks fab!

  30. TheOriginalVctoria says:

    J. LO-like Christina-never fails me. Never.

  31. phlyfiremama says:

    I do hate to admit this, but I think J-Lo’s dress is AWESOME.

  32. Abby says:

    Jlo’s dress looks great. WTF Gisele!

  33. Emily says:

    Gisele and Tom look very Miami Vice. Which is NOT PUNK. A lot of these silly people seem to have confused “punk” with “general 1980sness”, because they apparently didn’t notice what was going on even though they were technically there for it.

    Jennifer Lopez looks ridiculous. All these half-tries with hair being sort of punk, while the dress is completely not, just ended up looking stupid.

  34. mimi says:

    Lopez has an AMAZING body.

    Gisele looks so cheap. Really, class-less.

  35. Luls says:

    J.Lo rocks. Always has, always will!
    And I swear shes getting younger with every passing day.

    Giselle’s dress is FUG.

  36. KellyinSeattle says:

    JLo all the way; she looks great!! And I really don’t mind Casper all that’s what she wants! Didn’t Gisele just have a baby with Tom? I hate his blazer…Richard Dawson from Family Feud, although I love Richard….

    • madchen says:

      +1 on the Richard Dawson reference. If the blazer was powder blue instead of bright, he would have nailed it completely.

  37. madchen says:

    As a long retired punk rock kid, I completely disagree on JLo’s dress/look. She seems really 80s Dynasty (tv show) to me. The swept up hair, sparkly make-up, etc. She always looks good in clingy clothes because of that bangin’ body but the dress is nothing special. If she had on big, faux diamond drops, she could have been an extra in a Falcon Crest or Dynasty party scene. Also, that child boyfriend of hers looks particularly young here. He should stay away from formal wear. He looks like he’s headed to an evening bar mitzva.
