Demi Lovato in Moschino at the Met Gala: one of the worst looks or ok?

MET Costume Institute Gala 2016
Demi Lovato was one of a couple ladies in Moschino last night and her dress was one of the worst, in my opinion. It’s like designer Jeremy Scott tried to mix one of his signature patters, that kind of modern brocade, with silver sequins and it does not work at all. There’s an asymmetric double matte stripe running across a silver dress. How does that make any sense? Then again, this guy wore a black suit made to look like a onesie with a bedazzled skeleton on the top of it, which even extended to his shoes. If he was going for whimsical he just ended up looking like he was dressed for Halloween.

Nicki Minaj similarly looked like she was wearing a Halloween costume in this buckled dominatrix getup. How does this have anything to do with Manus x Machina or technology at all? These designers had the opportunity to go for robotic looks, retro futurism, or to incorporate technology into their designs and some of them just phoned it in. Does this show that Scott is not inventive at all or is he just sticking to his own style? I like his whimsical takes on Barbie, McDonalds and Spongebob so this is a disappointment.

Speaking of Spongebob, people on Twitter were comparing Nicki’s dress to Mr. Krabs.

    If you haven’t seen Madonna then you haven’t seen THE WORST look of the night….at least Demi is trying.

    • paolanqar says:

      Madonna needs to put it away. All of it.

      I’m waiting for Emily’s Ratajwhatever’s pics. I have never seen anybody trying SO hard.
      I mean, if she arched her back a bit more she would have snapped in two.

    • Alex says:

      Agreed Madonna was just terrible.
      The pattern on Demi’s dress let her down because I thought the silhouette was great for her body. Nicki was just unfortunate and worse than Demi as well

  2. cleveland girl says:

    Demis dress looks like a dress the Kim Kardashian had on recently. Does anyone remember that one?

  3. AlmondJoy says:

    Call me crazy, but I love Demi’s look for some reason. It just works… Also her body looks amazing.

    Nicki looks dumb 😩 I don’t think she’s attended the MET before and THIS is what she shows up in for her first time?! I could be wrong but I don’t remember seeing her there before…

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      I don’t love the dress, but it looks beautiful on her body. It fits like a glove. It reminds me of an Hermes scarf for some reason. And yeah, Nicki, what the…

      • AlmondJoy says:

        Yes the print is definitely odd but for some reason it works for me. It looks great and yet it’s ugly all at once lol.

      • Locke Lamora says:

        The fit is nice but the print is hideous. And her makeup is awful. She’s a pretty girl but the makeupnis just too much.

    • Amelia says:

      I loved Demi’s too!
      Thought that it really fits the theme without falling back on the metallic look which seemed to be every other stylist’s first idea.
      The yellow/orange really pops in the photographs, sort of like it’s interactive or virtual.
      She’s one of my best looks of the night <3

    • Jenns says:

      I like her dress and I think it looks amazing on her.

    • Mgsota says:

      I like it too! Her body looks amazing! I wouldn’t say that the dress is beautiful, but it definitely has me looking at it closely and keeping my attention. It’s interesting, that’s for sure!

  4. QQ says:

    So many steaming cups of NOPE This am… No one decided to bring it, I Loathe to have to say this but Gwyneth was right?

  5. Dangles says:

    Demi Lovato reminds me of Demi Moore.

  6. paolanqar says:

    Nicky Minaj should try covering those fake boobs once in a while. She is starting to resemble Lil Kim and it is not a compliment.

  7. Rae says:

    Hideous. Both of them. Tacky and cheap.

  8. lilacflowers says:

    Demi looks like she is in pain and her whole look is very mother-of-the bride.

  9. Jayna says:

    It’s odd. I kind of like Demi’s gown up close, but at a distance, not at all.

    Nicki is a hot mess.

  10. Jayna says:

    I was upset Rihanna didn’t come also. She was the star last year.

    This is the worst Met Gala Ball I’ve seen. BORING. Ball? Most must have missed that part and dressed like it was another night out for a celebrity at some function or bar for some. LOL

  11. guest says:

    everyone make up and tans look horrible! I cannot stress this enough.

  12. HK9 says:

    If I was a dragon from Game of Thrones, I would have worn Demi’s dress.

  13. SilkyMalice says:

    Demi’s dress is awful, plus she looks grumpy as hell. Also, what are those white marks all over her arms?

    • Jwoolman says:

      Demi Lovato seems to routinely look grumpy.

      The dress seems ok, in keeping with the theme.

      Nicki, though…. Oh, my. Why do people install basketballs in their chests like that? Maybe without that odd distraction reminiscent of gym class, the dress would be ok.

    • Kitten says:

      I think that’s the light hitting the sequins on her dress and reflecting it onto her arms.

      I hate that dress.

  14. lucy2 says:

    Demi’s looks like 3 dress in one, but at least it fits well? I don’t know. All of the looks here are bad.

  15. Magnoliarose says:

    Both looks are uninspired fails from the fabrics to the concepts. The gold accent on Demi’s dress could work on something else but not this.

  16. vanessa says:

    Both of them looked super tacky.

  17. serena says:

    Horrible.

  18. Deedee says:

    Omg, I though Nicki Minaj was Blac Chyna. She looks so cheap–it’s the worst I ever saw her. And the three of them look like they are at a Halloween costume party, not the Met Gala.

  19. drnotknowitall says:

    OMG, these two just gave me a nose bleed. Terrible. Absolutely terrible.

  20. kri says:

    Is there any law on the books that will allow me to make a citizen arrest on Jeremy Scott? This sh!t is a crime. Those two ladies deserved better than this.

  21. tacos and tv says:

    No! To both. A big fat NO!
