Celine Dion in Atelier Versace at the Met Gala: crazy or fun?

This was Celine Dion’s first Met Gala and she brought it, I guess. She is styled and dressed like Sarah Jessica Parker and is wearing Atelier Versace in what looks like a sparkly white t-shirt covered by an asymmetrical pinned-on bodice and a long wrap skirt. She also took the high hair trend next level with what look like ribbons and spikes embedded on top. This is embracing the theme definitely. With that hair and that dress she should have gone for lighter makeup though. I think that’s what’s reminding me of Sarah Jessica Parker, the heavy dark eye makeup. Speaking of SJP, where was she last night? Did Celine take her place?

Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys wore matchy black custom Rag and Bone outfits, with Matthew in a kilt and Keri in a tuxedo jacket and pants, which is clever as anything. I googled “do Welsh men wear kilts” and found that they do, although it’s relatively new as the kilt originated in Scotland of course. I guess it’s called a cilt there. Keri’s makeup and hair are killer. I love these two so much.

Laura Dern wore this navy cutout Gabriela Hearst gown featuring squares at the bustline and a graphic polka dot print back. This is a bit plain for the theme but the details add interest. Plus her styling is lovely and understated. Gorgeous necklace.

    Not her best makeup.

  2. Indira says:

    I didn’t know that Keri is so tiny.

    • Sarah says:

      She looks sick. Maybe it’s the makeup. She looks like she has consumption, like the old Victorian heroines.
      Celine looks interesting and Laura Dern can do no wrong in my book!

      • Pandy says:

        Yes her make up makes her look haggard. Agree re Celine and Laura. Laura looks beautiful.

      • Ange says:

        She’s looked like that since she had the latest baby, it must be a tough one!

  3. Pumpkin Pie says:

    Crazy AND fun !

  4. applepie says:

    Celine….Its almost as good a look as the Oscars back to front dinner jacket thing! Horrible.
    Laura Dern however…AMAZING. Colour is beautiful on her and her body bangs BIG TIME. The cut is perfect for her.

  5. Aiobhan Targaryen says:

    Celine’s outfit is fun because she looks like she is having fun in it.

    Laura’s outfit is a straight miss for me, but I like seeing her on the red carpet. She was so good on Big Little Lies.

    I like Keri’s eye makeup, but the rest is odd looking. It looks like glue was slathered on her face. Is it supposed to look like that?

  6. Anon says:

    I think keri’s makeup and hair look awful actually

    • Jenns says:

      Seriously. It looks like she was attacked by a Sharpie.

    • Huckle says:

      She needs some blush or something. The eye look ages her I think esp w no color in her face.

    • chaine says:

      Same here. Her hair is lank and she looks colorless and drained. Reminds me of when I haven’t showered in a few days and I try to draw attention away from my greasy hair with excessive eyeliner.

    • Susan says:

      I thought her makeup either made her look like she has sun damaged skin (hyperpigmentation) or just did a bad job of covering it up.

  7. Daisy says:

    What exactly was the theme? I read the title but don’t exactly get it.

    Kerri and Matthew look amazing, but din’t they get together under sketchy circumstances?

    • Pumpkin Pie says:

      The theme is inspired by a couture collection I think.
      Yes apparently she was in a marriage or partnership with the father of her first two children when she and M got together.
      Maybe it’s just me but she looks so sad when they pose on the red carpet. I noticed that for some time now.

    • Cherise says:

      I generally dont care how people got together, i mean who other themselves would know the state of their previous relatiomships at the time or when they consumated this. What does shock me about these two is that their fans are always going on about their chemistry on the show and yet they always always look so miserable together in real life. Even in interviews together their conraderie is anything but easy. Weird.

    • Anne says:

      The team is, as you’ve seen, Commes des Garçons and its designer Rei Kawakubo. Apparently, the designer is know for “pushing the envelope” for regular fashion, being a bit different and taking things a step further. The opposite of comfortable and normal. So, being in line with the theme would be dresses that are different, unstructured, unexpected. Off theme would be a pretty Emmy or Oscar dress.

    • Bridget says:

      It’s avante garde fashion. Rei Kawubo was all about challenging the established notions of beauty. It’s a lot of interesting, sculptural work.

  8. Bungiejim says:

    Laura Dern is just CLASS. Kerri’s makeup is awful!

  9. Emma33 says:

    I just watched Ellen’s famous ‘coming out’ episode for the first time (It’s the 20th anniversary of the episode and Ellen had a show on it last week). Laura Dern was in the episode and was so great! She said on Ellen’s show that she couldn’t get work for a year after she did the coming out show…which just seems absurd now, but shows where we were at 20 years ago.

    Celine is really working that outfit, but there’s something NQR about it for me. Love the kilt!

  10. KatM says:

    Laura Dern looks fantastic.

  11. Missy says:

    Laura dern looks gorgeous!

  12. dodgy says:

    They didn’t get the concept at all… SMH.

  13. nemera77 says:

    For Celine.. neither; not crazy and not fun. She usually does it so much better. This look doesn’t fit her at all. The leg thing and the undergarment.. just looks second tier for her. NOPE

    and for me I don’t like her new fashion direction. For the most part it just feels very Try Hard. And Celine has always been over the top personality wise; but her clothing had a classic feel.

    • Lady D says:

      In the last picture, which leg is Celine showing, right or left?

    • holly hobby says:

      Well didn’t she hire Zendaya’s stylist? I’m sorry Zendaya is sort of teenager/early 20’s. Celine is more mature than that and should dress better. The eye make up is horrible too.

  14. bacondonut says:

    WOW Laura Dern!!!! Though Kerri looks like a cardboard cutout, her partner is just about to tuck her under his arm and leave. Celine’s eye makeup is too heavy for her beautiful face

  15. HK9 says:

    Laura Dern has an amazing body to pull off that dress. She looks great.

  16. JustJen says:

    Keri and Celine must have googled “how to look old using nothing but 5 pounds of black eye makeup”.

  17. Lucy2 says:

    I dislike Celine’s dress but kind of love her hair.
    Keri’s makeup is unflattering. I’ve always thought she was so pretty but that heavy makeup, no.
    Laura looks amazing.

  18. Betsy says:

    Celine’s dress is as awful as ever, but that kind of feels like her thing now and I admire her for it.

    Keri Russell has reached the age of not giving any effs. I like her eye makeup for this red carpet, but it literally looks like she forgot to do her lips. At all.

  19. QQ says:

    I Do NOT Like Celine’s But I absolutely LIVE for Celine so I’m Inclined to just let her look nutty if she’s feeling it and seems like she is?

    LOVE LOVE LOVE What Kerry Russell is wearing, same for Laura Dern if actuality? I am Verklempt for myself ?!

  20. serena says:

    Laura Dern looks fabulous in that dress!

  21. Parigo says:

    Laura’s dress is my favorite. Funky yet classy. She looks so healthy and toned.

  22. Tania says:

    Celine gets an A for effort, but her dress looks like it could have been made by a 5 year old. I adore her and her confidence. Laura didn’t quite get the concept but looks phenomenal. A gorgeous, gorgeous woman. I love Keri and I love how avant garde this look is. It works. But Keri has been looking tired, it shows even on the latest season of the Americans. She is not herself and having a little one at home will do that to you. At times, she looks incredibly sad. I hope she’s alright.

  23. Grant says:

    Keri’s outfit is OK but that makeup is terrible and her hair looks like she rolled out of bed and tied it into a ponytail. Not good.

  24. Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

    Matthew Rhys – LOVE. HIM. Keri’s makeup ruined a look that could have been interesting.

    Celine always goes for the fun dresses.

  25. elle says:

    Keri looks like the creepy thing at the end of a hall in a horror movie.

  26. Trashaddict says:

    Holy Smokes who is that woman in the glittery backless cat suit behind Celine in the header photo? Quite something, where’s the frontal?

  27. Aila says:

    Good God, Keri Russell looks like Matthew Rhys’s dead-eyed ventriloquist dummy.

  28. bella says:

    Keri and Celine’s makeup is like form the Dawn of the Dead! They look like they are in a zombie movie. Horrible!
