Who was the biggest hot mess at last night’s amfAR Gala?

wenn21054723

Here are a buttload of photos from last night’s amfAR gala in NYC. They got a pretty good turnout, especially with bigger-name models. But they were lacking in some major celebrities and world-class fashionistas, which is why Crystal Renn is being used as the lead celebrity of this group. I don’t even have the designer ID on this (fug) dress, I just wanted to point out that Crystal is a damn mess. She’s always changing her look and gaining and losing weight to suit whatever trend, but can we all agree that whatever trend she’s trying to work here is totally over?

I thought Erin Heatherton was one of the best-dressed ladies of the evening.

Padma Lakshmi in J.Mendel. Pretty, kind of boring. I would have done her hair down.

Coco Rocha in Gaultier. Is it wrong that I think Coco is rather basic? She can wear an interesting dress, but…

Alyssa Miller – better known as Jake Gyllenhaal’s ex-girlfriend. WHY is everyone trying to make midriff-baring stuff come back? Please let that trend die.

Alan Cumming is always perfection. All you other bitches can go home.

Ireland Baldwin in Gabriela Cadena. Interesting dress. I think Ireland’s hair is too blonde – she needs some lowlights or some roots or something.

Robin Wright in Kate Sylvester. Okay. Not inspirational or anything.

Gretchen Mol in J.Mendel. Is it wrong that I really like this?

Lily Aldridge in Rosie Assoulin Spring 2014. I HATE THIS. Too “structural” and I feel like it’s about to fall off her body.

    Crystal and Coco win the prize for Most Visually Offensive dresses for the evening. Yikes.

  2. SonjaMarmeladova says:

    Karlie Kloss wore a beautiful LBD. She’s so pretty.
    Crystal looks so harsh in the face, she looked much much better with more weight.
    Why is Ireland even there? Did she even model? Ever?
    Robin needs to grow her hair.

    • Zadie says:

      Crystal used to be heavier?
      I don’t get Ireland at all. And she seems to be very famewhorish.

    • katy says:

      Crystal was heavier at one point (a few years ago, I believe), and just recently (one or two years ago?) she got her weight down pretty low – low enough where some people were saying she sold out after touting her initial “plus-sized and proud” agenda. She looks like she put some weight back and, and I personally think she looks better with it. While this outfit isn’t doing her any favors (the hair isn’t either), she really is a gorgeous woman.

    • Bomotonk says:

      Long time lurker, commented only a few times! Literally came on here just to say that Crystal looks like the Russian player on Ben stiller’s team in dodgeball!

    The whole crop top movement is kind of annoying now that EVERYONE has jumped on the bandwagon, but originally I didnt mind it. I actually think crop tops look good on certain people. Alyssa Miller pulls it off well.

    Ireland Baldwin wears waaaay too much makeup. She’s very young and beautiful, she should try a fresher more natural look.

  4. AG-UK says:

    NO to all of them with the exception of Alan Cumming love him.

  5. Dorothy#1 says:

    Alan Cumming = LOVE!!!!

  6. Katy says:

    What a mess

  7. foxyw says:

    How did Coco Rocha get to be a model? I see more attractive people in my morning commute every day. I really don’t understand how one gets to be a model, or what being a model is supposed to mean.

  8. OhDear says:

    The cat eye does not work on Crystal Renn.

    Alan Cumming’s suit is far too shiny.

    The Gautier dress is stunning!

  9. drea says:

    I remember when Coco first came up. I thought she was very pretty in a classic way. But in recent years she’s come to look like she’s always just gotten in from a very late night out. I do like her dress, though.

    • We Are All Made of Stars says:

      She has just gotten in from a long night out… of going door-to-door wholesomely spreading her faith in Jesus, that is.

    • katy says:

      I may not like Coco Rocha, but I do adore that dress on her.

  10. Jade says:

    I love Lilly’s dress, but I don’t think she has an interesting enough personality to pull it off.

  11. Mar says:

    Yuck on everything here

  12. Lila says:

    I LOVE Lily’s dress. It looks like the clothing version of something you would see in a modern art museum. The styling just adds to it. I like it here partially because it’s not something you see on Hollywood red carpets. This is a dress for a model and it’s nice to see those dresses on the red carpet too. Plus it’s just so pretty.

    Erin Heatherton is the one I thought was boring. I feel like we’ve seen a dozen of those beaded dresses in the past year.

    Padma just looks sloppy IMO. Her dress is all wrinkled, her hair isn’t smooth, something is off with her makeup- this is not her best look.

    I like Coco and her dress. She is a little indistinctive but in a good way I think. She wears a lot of really bold dresses and I think she balances them somehow, without the dress wearing her. I wish you’d included the pics of Karlie Kloss. I know you don’t like her but I love her and the multitude of looks she can pull off.

    Crystal, Ireland, Robin- why?

    Alyssa and Gretchen look pretty. I’m going to be rude though and say that Alyssa Miller looks like a Hollywood ex.

    Alan Cumming- always always perfection. I love the personality he brings to the carpet.

  13. MrsBPitt says:

    Okay, don’t everyone jump on me but….Ireland Baldwin is NOT model material! She is a good looking girl, but she is not special or unique looking! Plus, she looks about 30 years old in these pictures…she should be dressed young and fun!

    They all look terrible!

    • We Are All Made of Stars says:

      Okay, don’t jump on me but… she is really not that good-looking by Hollywood standards. Her face is nothing memorable or special, and rather than exude any sort of a demeanor or attitude that says “model,” she just comes off as another dim second generation wannabe star like Kimberly Stewart, Clint Eastwood’s daughter, or Paris Hilton.

    • katy says:

      I agree, if you go to any college campus, you can pick out a TON of Irelands, and an additional ton of girls better suited to modeling than Ireland.

      I really dislike how her hair looks like a bad dye job.

  14. eliza says:

    Lilly looks like she is heading to a Star Trek convention.

  15. Hannah says:

    Robin Wright Penn. That’s such a half-assed dress.

  16. INeedANap says:

    I think Crystal Renn looks like a hot mess but I COVET that necklace. LUUURVE.

  17. Diana says:

    Yes, Alan Cumming IS perfection. Agreed on that.

  18. Gistine says:

    I think Ireland Baldwin needs to not. Just because she’s nine feet tall does not make her a model. Not with that mediocre face anyway.

  19. Bridget says:

    I love CoCo Rocha. She’s a awesome on camera, plus I have a soft spot just for those tap dancing commercials.
