Amber Heard in Giambattista Valli & Johnny Depp at Met Gala: sweet or weird?

Amber Heard

Last night must have been one of the best nights of Johnny Depp‘s life. Here was a perfect excuse to throw on a costume and escort his beautiful lady, Amber Heard, to the Met Gala. Amber wore Giambattista Valli haute couture. Her vibe reminded me very much of Angelina Jolie’s recent Elie Saab at the Oscars. The styling is completely different from Jolie, but Amber is still trying for a more sophisticated vibe. She looks good with a teased updo and strong red lips. Her jewelry is Fred Leighton. Amber didn’t fit in with the costume theme at all. Luckily, Johnny was there to make up for any lack of adventure on her part. Us Weekly decided that Johnny channeled Mr. Peanut in his tux with tails, little white gloves, and a cane. I can’t do any better than that description. He’s so quirky and eccentric and yes … a bit ridiculous.

Suki Waterhouse wore Burberry that looked like Marchesa. All those ruffles and tiers. I was actually okay with this dress because it fits the theme without going overboard. Then I saw the squished rack. No bueno. Suki’s hair and makeup is probably the best it’s ever looked. The blood red lips are ravishing. She’s having a blast.

Bradley Cooper walked the red carpet separately from Suki. He was wolfy in Tom Ford. His tux looks like it was tailored about 10 pounds of muscle ago. Dude looks uncomfortable.

Chrissy Teigen went for a subdued look in this gray Ralph Lauren gown with a ruffled halter neck. She dressed it up with some side boob and a side of classy John Legend. Chrissy gets the audience participation vote by choosing her hair extensions with much care on Twitter.

Lily Aldridge chose a silver Michael Kors dress that is meant to look like liquid metal but reminds me of a Hershey’s kiss. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

    I thought Amber was preggo? Guess not?

    Have you seen the well-to-do, up and down Park Avenue
    On that famous thoroughfare, with their noses in the air
    High hats and Arrowed collars, white spats and lots of dollars
    Spending every dime, for a wonderful time
    If you’re blue and you don’t know where to go to
    Why don’t you go where fashion sits,
    Puttin’ on the ritz….song in Johnny’s head while getting dressed.

    • Ag says:

      HA!

    • blue marie says:

      Ha, he may have even done a little dance.
      Amber in that photo reminds me of The Corpse Bride and I’m not sure why.

    • Dani2 says:

      LMAO

    • Ellie66 says:

      That the song that poped into my head when I saw Johnny. Lol!

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      …yeah but the Taco version of “Puttin on The Ritz”.

      They are so silly.
      I have to give Amber credit for dressing the part–she’s really transforming into a Tim Burton character to please Depp.
      Well done.

      • mercy says:

        L O L! Mr. Peanut, Taco… sadly I have to agree. I actually really like this old school style. Someone like Jack White rocks it on the regular. With Johnny, all the snappy details are there, but the fit is all wrong and it’s too much clothes for a diminuitive man.

        Amber’s updo and makeup are too severe. She just doesn’t doesn’t have the face or stature to pull it off. Wannabe Jolie posing and a KStew/ScarJo face. The gown is rather meh, but it’s a good colour for her. A big no to nude patent platform pumps.

        Like Chrissy’s dress, but the hair is a mess, and not in a good way. Suki looks suprisingly good, though I feel like I’ve seen the dress before and the fit seems off at the bust. Bradley…awful style of tux on him, and bad fit. Longer pants would’ve helped a lot.

      • Kiddo says:

        the Taco version of “Puttin on The Ritz”.

        I love this version, it’s also a classic.

    • V4Real says:

      OMG Dying of laughter now because it’s so true; perfect song choice Kiddo.

      …and Blue Amber does looks like The Corpse Bride. DId they do that on purpose?

  3. Grant says:

    Amber’s dress is boring and her makeup is wretched.

    BCoop looks like he’s about to burst.

  4. Dani2 says:

    He really looks like a grandpa here, I feel like he’s aged about ten years in the last few weeks.

    And Bradley looks like his buddy Zach Galifianakis here.

  5. Johnny in clothes that have no holes in them?! WIN.

    He and Amber both look really good. Although she is a somewhat generic, pretty blonde woman–she looks her absolute best in old Hollywood styling….she does have the look of a ’50s actress (which I love).

    Suki actually doesn’t look like she’s 12–wow. This is the best I’ve seen her look, despite that ugly dress.

    And Chrissy looks tiny. And that dress is ugly. And what did she do to her lips? They look weird.

    • FingerBinger says:

      It is nice to see him without that chewed up hat and those scuffed up shoes.

    • kri says:

      Well. I guess this is the cleanest I have seen Johhny look in a long time. She bores me. The rest of them are mostly blah.

  6. Midnight says:

    I get no feeling of love at all from JDepp and Amber. Neither from Bradley and Suki. In fact, both couples remind of of father-daughter.

  7. Mrs.Darcy says:

    Oh man. I did see this and immediately think “Mr.Peanut forgot his monacle”. When does this nightmare end? I once loved Johnny with the fire of a thousand suns, I can’t even bear to look at him now.

    The only thing I will say is that the cropped tuxedo was everywhere, in sometimes even worse extremes (I’m looking at you and your guyliner Neil Patrick Harris). The only men on my hot list so far are Cumby (I’m not always a Cumby girl but he looks like freaking Fred Astaire) and Colin Firth. Bring out the hot guys of the Met CB, I’ve been driven elsewhere to look so far 🙂

    • justme says:

      Yes – find us a really good Cumby picture! So far the only one is not all that clear. He looks fantastic (as does Colin). More men!

  8. dana says:

    1. Johnny Depp looks like a Derp.

    2. Bradley Cooper looks like Dr. Peter Prentice to me!

  9. captain says:

    Wow, Amber’s dress is just great. Her make-up reminds me of Edward-Scissorhands though.

  10. Sabrina says:

    Suki looks really good here. I didn’t recognise her at all and I quite like the dress.

    • Tanguerita says:

      yes, she looks ok, but can anyone explain to me why this girl is happening? She is just so, so boring.

  11. capepopsie says:

    Depp is pathetic. No scarfs? Improving. . . .
    Can´t stand HER, really don´t know why.

  12. Qualche Volta says:

    Is it me or do most of these people look like they mess with their faces? What happened to Amber? Her face looks really weird here. And I will never get this SUKI WHATEVERHOUSE relationship. And Johnny Depp lost all his hotness…

    • magpie says:

      I don’t think Brad and Suki get their relationship either. It just seems so random.

    • Mia4S says:

      Looking at these photos I am beginning to think the makeup artists were having a laugh. Amber looks like she died last week. Awful.

      I know Cooper’s extra bulk is for a movie but it does NOT suit him!

    • mercy says:

      I think it’s the hair. It’s pulled back too tightly and accentuates a flat, long face.

  13. Ashley says:

    Wow I just realized she looks very Lisa Marie. I wonder how Tim Burton feels about that? She’s like a blonde clone.

  14. QQ says:

    Hahahahaha at least Johnny Deep was Era appropriate last Night… i bet he was in Heaven

  15. poppy says:

    SPATS. he is wearing spats and that’s what makes him mr peanut. embarrassing.
    heard’s dress is beautiful. her, not so much.
    i like the burberry, minus the too smally cut bandeau. her lipstick is way too harsh.
    i can’t believe i’m going to say this but i love the ruffles on CT’s dress. the dress itself looks weird on her, the way the bottom fits makes her legs look skeletal.
    i almost like the hershey kiss dress but i’m thinking it is mainly because the pickings were slim this year. SO MANY AWFUL DRESSES.

  16. gg says:

    Depp is morphing into Karl Lagerfeld. His cheerleader steady bores me so much I’m falling asleep right now zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…………..

  17. Calcifer says:

    Johnny looks positively ill here, hope he is not really sick. It’s probably all the smoking. It would help enormously if he would stop dying his hair, I think. Or at least let a little bit of grey in. Though Amber is very pretty, I’ve seen her looking better. And for me she is always a bit of a surrogate Kristen Stewart. Stewart seems to effortlessly embody the tomboy archetype – which sets her apart form all the other actresses. While Amber, for all her tough and intellectual posing in interviews (talking about guns, cars and books), is just too dimpled and perfect to make me believe she is an original.

  18. mia girl says:

    Johnny Depp 2.0 made it hard for me to still
    love Johnny Depp 1.0.
    And now, this f*k*r is tainting my love of peanuts as well. Damn you Scarfy!

  19. Jessica says:

    Brad looks like he is trying to push out a fart.

  20. A.Key says:

    She looks weird. I don’t know if it’s the makeup and hair or what, but her face looks weird.
    Fact they both seem somehow “off”.

  21. QQ says:

    No Karolina Kurkova? She is The Only one that came to play

  22. Josephine says:

    Putting aside any feelings about these people, I think all of the women look quite nice. Amber’s dress is stunning and she looks very pretty, and Suki looks gorgeous as well. The two silver dresses are also pretty. It was a ball full of ugly dresses, and these stand out as actually pretty.

  23. break says:

    Suki is the least memorable, most generic looking celebrity I’ve ever seen. I could look at 20 pictures of her and still not know who she is in #21.

    • carol says:

      I actually think she’s pretty and her look has improved. I think suki had a nose job. But congrats to her for getting a better eye brow stylist

  24. Talie says:

    In a suit, Bradley not looking so great. His head looks like it might explode.

  25. Cecilia says:

    The only thing that catches my eye here is that these men got the Theme right. Johnny nailed it, right down to the gloves…oh, and the spats. Talk about puttin on the ritz!

  26. AG-UK says:

    Brad has NO neck now and Suki thinking I HAVE ARRIVED people look at me. I was a nobody in 2012 but I am here now. Dress is not bad but def. too tight or squashed on top.

  27. Al says:

    Looking at this picture and ALL the pictures of Amber Herd and Johnny Depp together really, I just CAN NOT believe she’s not with him in large part for fame. It’s a little bit because he looks like Mr. Bill from SNL but mostly it’s the look in her eyes. She reminds me of every lifetime movie about black widows that I’ve ever seen.

    • iheartjacksparrow says:

      Johnny never used to attend events like this, never wanted publicity, and now he’s everywhere. I have to think this is all Amber’s doing so she’ll be seen and have her photo taken.

      • reba says:

        I was thinking the same thing. Also, in the second photo, he looks like a doddering old man (what are his feet doing in that position?).

  28. shellybean says:

    I think Johnny and Amber look great. Amber looks very elegant and pretty, and Johnny is dressed for the occasion.

    • tracking says:

      Johnny looks fabulous–like he stepped out of a 1930s film. Comparatively she looks so very generic. Why couldn’t she have worn a fabulous deco-inspired dress to complement him? Pretty but oh so boring.

  29. lenje says:

    Is Chrissy Teigen pregnant?

  30. Val says:

    Amber looks amazing as always, but I feel like we’ve seen that look/dress before, so yawn.

    Johnny just looks too weird to comment.

  31. pnichols says:

    Are Johnny and Amber going coffin shopping afterwards? Yikes.

  32. Helvetica says:

    First of all, Johnny looks ridiculous.

    Not good.

  33. pirategirl says:

    Has Amber done something to her face? She also looks even thinner than before, even kind of weird. The dress is okay, but just blah for this type of event, seems to just hang on her. I really think Johnny Depp has aged a lot since his split with Vanessa, something is taking a toll on him. I understand he isn’t 20 or 30 anymore, people do age, but something is up.

  34. Sofacat says:

    He looks barking mad.

  35. mmmm says:

    Johnny was like THE man who dressed totally like how it was asked. And he didn’t look ridiculous on these clothes as Bradley Cooper or Kanye. I think it was his memory of his character on Finding Neverland coming out and making him look and act and his movements and all, as if he was coming from another era. Very gentlemanly
    He looks good. To try to say the contrary it’s just hate on him, without much sense this time (when he looks clean and without an stupid hat, etc)
    Amber’s dress was too safe for my taste. She’s a beautiful woman who could pull out very much anything, so i would expect something a bit more bold from her.

    • Cecilia says:

      +1

      Johnny is on-point with the theme of the occasion. I think he looks fab.

  36. db says:

    Totally washes her out, visually she can’t compete with Johnny. And I can’t with him. NEXT

  37. rep says:

    Johnny looks sick. Whats up with the cane? I think he really needs it. I dont think he is physically able to do anymore action movies.

  38. KateBush says:

    Johnny got it right he nailed the dress code and the clothes suit him. I prefer his hair a bit longer but that’s just me. Amber looks lively the dress fits her to perfection.

  39. Tia says:

    Depp used to be so private. Thought it was him but I guess vanessa was the private one. He never used to attend stuff like this.

  40. whateveryouwantittobe says:

    Seriously, what has happened to him?! Is he being advised now by Marilyn Manson? How do you go from what he was a few years ago to this. It’s not that he’s aged I don’t think, he looks pale and greasy and none of his clothes fit properly. He’s been replaced by his doppelganger, this is the only explanation. The shoes, the pants, the hair. It boggles my mind a little bit.

  41. Mr. Pitiful says:

    I’m getting a Young Frankenstein vibe here. Peter Boyle definitely wore that tuxedo in the movie. And with that make-up, all she needs are stripes on the sides of her hair and she’d be Madeline Kahn. O sweet mystery of life at last I’ve found you!

  42. rep says:

    Yeah, i just dont know what happened. How come his clothes dont fit? Amber needs to steer him back to hot johnny. She doesnt look too happy to be with him anymore.

  43. rep says:

    Plus he’s getting a poochey stomach. I think thats Whats keeping him from standing up straight. Charlie Chaplin looking has been.

  44. Olive says:

    I don’t get the hate on here, he’s the only man who got the theme right and dressed for the occasion and he looks like sir. I’m glad that he’s on all the best dressed lists.

  45. Lux says:

    The walking stick is making the whole thing really creepy. It’s like a girl going out with her grandfather.

  46. Genie says:

    Yes, I thought he was using it as a cane, to balance any inappropriate substance abuse! Mr, Peanut what? Hmmm…these two have gotten pap pix more in 2 weeks than Vanessa and Johnny did in 12 years. So much for his iconoclast past–the new Depps both seem to have a need for publicity ratings. Down the rabbit hole, this couple is doomed. Much prefer the old Depp-Paradis, who will go down in history as truly a class act.

    • Pp says:

      Well, he’s 50 and not 80 to need a cane. It’s just an accessory to complete the look. Johnny and Vanessa were pap’ed millions of times, even when she was pregnant and when they were on vacations. And they went to a lot of this kind of events together. If you think that he’s getting pap’ed all of a sudden now then you are wrong. And why would he need the publicity ? It’s not like if it’s helping his movies to do better at the boxoffice. Why do you think they are doomed? They might last as long as other couples with bigger age gaps lasted

  47. Karen says:

    I think amber looks good, though the make-up is a tad too heavy but it’s not too different from her usual make-up. I don’t like Johnny’s cane or his glasses ugh. He should have worn contacts or his black glasses. Sigh.

    Suki looks wonderful, best she’s ever looked.

  48. Snowpea says:

    When did Depp go from being an awesome unpretentious dude who lived in the French countryside with his adorbs family and turning up to premieres in muddy boots to…

    …this parody of a middle aged man suffering a midlife crisis losing his shiz over a chick half his age?

    WHEN? I ASK YOU? *sobs*

    • Pp says:

      Please get over yourself and stop exaggerating, he never changed. He was in a dead relationship and it wasn’t working out anymore and now he is with someone else. It happens all the time. If you actually knew anything about him at all you would know that he was only going to France for vacations with his family and his “family” which are his kids are living with him.

      If you are actually following him you would know that he mostly wear the “muddy” boots that he always gets criticised for but I guess he should have worn them for this fancy event?

      Again, stop exaggerating, I really don’t know what you are talking about! he IS a middle aged man but a happy and healthy one at that. He has done nothing that makes him look like he’s going through a midlife crisis.

      Losing his shiz over a chick half his age? Please, he is just posing with her like all other couples do but I guess that counts as losing his shiz over her! Oh and she’s actually 22 years younger than him and not half his age.

      I guess dressing for the occasion makes him pretentious!

      You don’t seem to know much about him so why do you care?

      • Snowpea says:

        Oh for goodness sake dear, run along.

        We don’t know these people. They are public figures and, by definition, that means we are allowed to comment on them.

      • Pp says:

        @Snowpea I’m sorry but just because they are “public figures” it doesn’t mean it’s ok to judge them so horribly without actually knowing them.

    • lucy2 says:

      I’m with you Snowpea. He, or at least the image he put out there to the public, has changed.

      • Mr. Pitiful says:

        Pp – you seem to be judging too; just the other end of the continuum. Positive judgment is still judgment. They really could be horrible people or they could practically be saints. You don’t know for sure, so why not just lighten up? Neither Johnny nor Amber have any idea that you are defending them. And if they did, it’s unlikely that they would care.

  49. lucy2 says:

    I kind of like Amber’s dress, but other than being kind of silvery it doesn’t remind me of Jolie’s at all. But speaking of that does remind me of Evan Rachel Wood’s Oscar Elie Saab, which still might be my favorite gown ever.

    Bradley looks about to blow. Poor guy looks really uncomfortable. Suki looks better with her hair like that, but that first pose looks uncomfortable.

  50. Steph S. says:

    I don’t get Chrissy Tiegen. She is a total butterface – there are a million girls with bodies as good (if not better) than hers who are not so unfortunate looking in the face. How did she get as famous as she is?

  51. Genie says:

    Oh PP, stop protecting them. They’re all about PR. I’m sure their people keep mighty busy and well paid. They just don’t seem, er, “real”, so sorry to upset you dear.

    • Pp says:

      All about PR? LOL, I guess that’s why Amber refused to talk about him and their relationship when she was promoting her latest 2 movies! Just because they attend events together like any other couple and get publicity out of it it doesn’t mean they are all about PR. They seem real to me, more real than some of the fake-smiley hollywood couples that put on a show to the world when they are not actually happy.

      • ann says:

        They seem real to you than any other celeb couple lol this couple is the fakist couple ever look @ them as you said that she hasn’t talked about the relatship she doesn’t have to she was dropping hints off in interviews and wearing his clothes etc and johnny who is suppose to be very private kept talking about amber non-stop while he was promoting his movie but come on johnny loves this attention now he even loves the paps looks like amber has rubbed off on him.

    • ann says:

      But I hope it works out between them both that’s it.

  52. Upshot says:

    I like Amber’s dress a lot. Her, meh. Plain looking but pretty girl. That’s about it as far as I’ve seen.

    Depp, though, has a new paunchy gut that is causing him to wear clothes that are too large for his rather delicate frame.

    This reminds me of the Penguin in Batman, and that is not a compliment. Sorry, but they both seem rather grey-toned and zombieish. Corpse Bride-ish. The cane isn’t helping, although I assume it’s a part of his look for the gala.

    Really. He looks so pale, waxy, and paunchy now. Standing next to his younger fiancé is not helping.

  53. Mr. Pitiful says:

    I really don’t like Amber’s dress. It’s very dowdy, very beige – could have been worn by an 80 year old woman. Her hair is atrocious and that white stuff she put on her eyes makes her look fiendish and dead.
