Madonna keeps showing up at the Met Gala, even if she is no longer friends with the coolest girls in the room. Like, I don’t expect Madonna to arrive at the gala looking like Jennifer Lopez-Jackie Kennedy, but does she have to be so… youth-obsessed? This camouflage gown by Jeremy Scott is awful, and it belongs somewhere far, far away.
Claire Danes wore Monse. Shockingly, this was one of my favorite looks of the night. I was expecting more of this at the Met Gala – deconstructed menswear, crazy arrays of sleeves and ruffles. I was expecting to see more pants too. So… I don’t know, I think Claire nailed it. She looks great. And it’s always nice to see Hugh Dancy.
The point of La La Anthony’s look was that she was and is feeling herself after Carmelo Anthony probably cheated on her a lot. This Thai Nguyen Atelier gown is supposed to be “I’m mysterious and sexy and single!” But I’m not feeling it at all.
Mindy Kaling in Prabal Gurung. It’s a pretty color on Mindy but that’s about the only nice thing I have to say. This is a dress for an awards show, not the Met Gala. This would have looked completely fine at the Oscars. But I honestly expect more from her because I know she loves clothes and fashion. Why, Mindy, why??

Well you can see that Madonna definitely had some work done.
Seeing some old pics of her recently, she’s barely recognisable.
Where did Madonna’s neck go?-!
I love her, I always will, but she just don’t give a damn anymore, where’s the innovative Madonna she has always been?
Exactly. She is just phoning it in here. Very disappointing.
she looks freakish.
This is one painful look, in so many ways…. her boobs look like they’re so tightly hiked and compressed that it’s got to hurt. Her face is so pulled, tweaked, and plastic m that if it wasn’t for her teeth, she’d be unrecognizable.
Claire Danes looks like someone thought Halloween came early and she got TPed. Her makeup is too Johnny Dept-ish for me.
Why can’t I look away? Madonna is morbidly fascinating and it makes me feel guilty. I am about 15ish? years younger than her, and she is like a manual in how not to age. It has to suck to be her.
My thoughts exactly. When I get there (and it’s approaching fast), I wanna do it the opposite of Madonna.
Madonna, what in the fashion hell…..
Looks like something Edina Monsoon would wear.
“It’s a LaCroix, darling. LaCroix.”
Her excessively sculpted ass is not hanging out. I consider this a win!
I guess im alone in feeling Madge looks terrific. Regarding facial surgery- actors in hollywood are damned if they do or don’t. There is no aging its rare- plus i think her face looks “settled”. I love her look overall said one person on CB.
I think she looks great, too! I don’t like the extra chains on the dress, but it’s fun and she looks fantastic. I’ll sit over by you, InclusiveSnark. 🙂
Poor Mindy. I love her but that look is not flattering.
The dress is meh but what the hell has she done to her face?!
YES!!! Her FACE! Mindy no what did you do?
Her lips look plumped up. What a shame!
gotta agree. the dress is pretty horrible too but her face is mind boggling. I guess nobody is safe in hollyweird. the pressure to somehow preserve your youth is just too great.
Am I the only person who thinks Mindy has had some bleaching done? Between her days on “The Office” and now, I swear she looks shades and shades lighter. It bums me out.
she looks like she’s sweating, as I would be. I’d be a sweaty mess.
Yes her lips my god so bad.
She and Madonna are twinsies in the wtf happened to their face department. Although I’m hoping Mindy’s is more just bad makeup? Madonna looks so hard but then I think she always did.
I noticed her make up is never done right. I want to call her and tell her I can help
Did Mindy oversleep her styling appointments? I’m used to seeing her look fabulous on the red carpet. This look us way too blah for her.
I know. She usually wears incredible colors that really pop.
Hugh is so cute!!! Good to see him
Ugh the only one that looks good here is Claire. Such a departure from last year which I love.
Not sure what’s going on with Mindy’s makeup.
Madonna will be madonna. Best part is there is a photo where sarah Paulson is freaking OUT behind madonna. Hysterical
Yes, I saw the photo of Paulson freaking out! Amazing. Honestly, if I saw Madonna up close like that, no matter what monstrosity she was wearing (including this one which is just horrid), I’d probably react the same way. I mean she is Madonna for f-sakes!!
Claire’s makeup is scary!
Sarah Paulson wins at life. I want to be her.
Love Claire’s. And Mindy’s so obviously up to something. While Rih does all the distracting, Mindy quietly infiltrates in the restricted area of the museum…(Ocean’s 8 reference right there).
Madge needs to hang it up.
I think Madonna starts to look like a cat lady.
She reminds me of mae west…when she was older
Had to google it, you’re right.

OMG! Spot on. Thanks for the links!
My very first thought! “Why don’t you come up and see me sometime” wiggles hips. Stop Madonna. She needs to be more grace coddington and less Charo.
I like how la la has a ring on every finger except the ring finger
Oh, Madge….No! No! No! No! Noooooo! Stop. Just stop. And speaking of stopping, STOP messing with your face! You don’t look as good as you think you do (or are trying to). Enough! Same goes for Mindy. I never understood why Mindy started tweaking herself, she was so pretty the way she was. Her is dress is nice, though, even if it’s not event “appropriate.” Not feeling Claire’s look. At least not at first glance. Maybe I need to look at it longer, but my gut response was “Nope!”
Omg Madonna. Her face. Her boobs hiked up to her chin. The whole thing is so embarrassing.
Claire’s is interesting, but how does she sit down in that?
I think Mindy looks nice, but it’s not the right choice for this event.
I was wondering that, too. There were a lot of looks that were for standing events only on the red carpet.
How do you think Madge interacts (does she interact?) with Paris?
I would pay to see that meetup.
I’d like to think that since Madonna knew Paris’ dad, she would be somewhat maternal toward her. However, knowing Madonna’s ego, she might feel threatened by Miss Jackson.
I think it would be especially hard to see you old face, when you are wearing your new purchased face and it isn’t as nice.
Claire’s makeup is horrible.
Worst of the night for me, she’s absolutely horrifying.
I agree. It looks like she was just in a car accident.
Yep, maybe her kids (does she have any?) did her make-up?
Ugh!
NotMyMadonna
I had hope that Madonna would be able to reinvent herself as she aged. But she is looking desperate and pathetic these days.
Is a good thing Madge has a Canteen on hand.. if only to ameliorate her thirst a little…
I Honest to goodness do not in any way hate what Claire danes did here, she looks less uptight than usual, is crisp, weird, on theme.. Cook, Girl!
Said before but will repeat, Lala Is on the 6 Inch part of her Lemonade Journey.
I have nothing nice in my purse for Mindy tbh
If it was not pointed out that was LaLa, I never would have believed it was. There is something…different…off.
I wondered if anyone else noticed Madonna’s canteen. That’s where she keeps the blood of virgins, to stay young a la Countess Bathory.
Has anyone else noticed that the gap between Madonna’s front teeth seems to get wider and narrower, depending on the occasion? How does she do that??
I was thinking “is her tooth-gap BIGGER than it used to be?”…
glad it wasn’t just me.
Grills?
I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY and being dickish but YES that ‘s what I thought I was like.. this is practically Vanessa Paradis
It looks like she has on a “grill.” BTW, what’s up with that?
Madonna stopped off at the Met Gala on her way to join Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin for a visit to the White House.
Posts like this make me realize I do NOT understand fashion, because I think Claire Danes looks ridiculous and awful.
Mindy, please stop whatever it is you are doing to your beautiful face.
Claire might look ridiculous going to a regular red carpet but if you google the designer the theme of the Met was based on you’d understand a little better why this is such a perfect look. It’s not meant to look nice or wearable or honestly even good – that’s what Commes de garcons is really all about – weird shapes.
Madge looks like an escapee from Mama June and Sugar Bear’s wedding.
Or patron saint of the Duck Dynasty.
Jeremy Scott is the worst.
At this point If Madonna wore something matronly it would be subversive. She should try it and also go back to working with D&G and Gaultier. Like go back into her own closet or concert archives and have it reworked for some truly artistic fashion.
SAD !
Madge looks tired. She tries too hard to be young instead of just being herself.
She’s wearing grillz. Oh, how edgy she is. Ugh
Maybe she will hook up with Jayden Smith.
Please do NOT give her any idea!
Attention-seeking and ugly as sin.
Mindy’s lips are about to FLY off her face…
I wonder if Mindy is doing this because she feel pressure being in hollywood where there is a euro-centric aesthetic pushing to get your lips done because they want a more exotic look…. omg head-ache inducing already
“…there is a euro-centric aesthetic pushing to get your lips done…”
What do you mean?
In most European countries, women naturally have average-sized lips and while you sometimes see women with inflated rubber boat lips thanks to fillers, they are the exception to the rule.
Yikes Madonna is turning into Faye Dunaway..!!
She needs to step away from the surgeon.
Madonna’s dress is so bad it must be breaking some regulation. Woodland camo is not a good look on anyone, young or old, civilian or military.
It is better then what Madonna wore last year
And doesn’t that just say it all.
Also, Claire Danes look terrible, end of.
Claire is the most on point with the theme of the night and her make up is a part of that avant garde look. There’s something slightly off about her shirt but it’s ok. Funny story, I was showing my 5 year old the photos of these dresses last night and the one she liked the most was Madonna’s! Probably because it reminded her of something from Monster High lol.
Monster High!!!! Lmao!!!
Awesome, this made my day! 😉
I think Claire Danes, Rihanna and Tracee Ellis Ross (that color is gorgeous on her) looked fantastic.
Although I think the whole event and Wintour are a waste of my precious oxygen, those women stuck with the theme and showed some personality. Caroline Kennedy, too (even though she looked horrible, she had the right spirit).
Claire Danes look reminds me a bit of SJP’s Hamilton inspired costume/look from last year. Personally, I like both and that they seem to do their homework to dress the theme of the gala.
Sorry Madge. Mama June got there first. Who looks better?

Claire Danes’ is not the prettiest woman, but jeez she looks uglier than she normally does. Her husband Hugh Dancy is a gorgeous man, but he looks weird- off here. Bad botox-y like makeup on both of them.
Why is LaLa Anthony at the Met Gala? Like… how did she make the cut? Last minute “Oh! She’s getting a LOT of press for being cheated on by Carmelo, we better invite her !” or… I don’t know? For all the hoopla about Wintour’s selectiveness and last say on the guest list / who sits where… the results are extremely lacklustre and underwhelming.
Aysla: I don’t even know who La La Anthony,y is, but that’s not saying much, since this is the only celebrity gossip site I visit and am Australian. Seeing all the photos from this event makes me wonder how most of them got an invite, especially after reading yesterday’s article:
http://www.celebitchy.com/533559/this_years_met_gala_will_be_more_intimate_private_meaning_fewer_people/
I was under the impression that the Met Gala was special; a very highbrow event, and that one needed to be “somebody” to score an invite, so it just seems like typical D-lister Hollywood party to me.
At least she has some clothes on. Not like last time when her butt’s exposed.
Mindy’s lips OMG…I don’t believe it’s eurocentric beauty either cuz they are not known for big lips. This is just sad all around. Is she trying to model hers after Priyanka?
I recently started watching Homeland. Claire Danes and her character annoyed me so much I had to stop after season 3. I know I probably sound terrible but I was quite gleeful of a certain character’s demise. They both irked me to no end.
Thank you! Omg she is unwatchable in that role. I don’t get how that show has any fans.
Madonna? Sad. This woman is struggling with aging. She cannot possibly think she looks good with the work she has done to her face and that ridiculous grill! Sad for sure.
Mindy is doing more to her face than jut pumping her lips…
Hate Madonna’s dress (uncool on so many levels) but I actually like her hair and make-up. And she seems to have eased off on the plastic surgery.
Madonna & Jeremy Scott pretty much just copied last year’s dress in a different fabric. Really disappointing. I am glad she covered her butt cheeks this year.
Clarie looks PERFECT! I love the shirt.
Madonna’s gown is so bad it’s delicious! The train and canteen are so much fun!
It’s all so silly anyway! Madonna can wear what she wants.
Writer seems to have a problem with Madonna . And guess what? She doesn’t need your approval! Cuz BITCH , she’s MADONNA!
She doesn’t need our approval, but she still WANTS it. Otherwise she would just go away and enjoy her bajillions. She’s got nothing left to prove, in fact, by going full cat-lady she’s undoing the legendary status she could have enjoyed. She should delete Instagram and become elusive.
Madonna is so scared of aging that it looks pathetic. Horrible dress. So much plastic in her face.
When I see camo clothing, I think of hunting and war. Which exactly is Madonna promoting?
They have that same camo dress at a 7-11 by my house!
Mindy looks Spanx’d to death in that dress.
Don’t really like any of these looks here. Madonna’s is the worst.
Just gonna say it: I love this outfit and I think Madonna looks as good as she ever has. Honestly, she doesn’t switch it up. She’s been rocking the same look in variations since 1980, this one just happens to be a camo version. She likes what she likes and she goes with it. I don’t think it looks youth-obsessed, just a variation on her theme. I would rock this outfit so hard including the camo scarf!
I have to admit, if I looked at these shots and didn’t know who Madonna was, then I would think she’s about 35 years old.
Yes, she looks a bit plastic, but you know her intention is to look young and beautiful still, and she does.
RuPaul would tell Madonna to EDIT, EDIT, EDIT. Then edit some more. Then sashay away. She’s a cartoon character now. Nothing about her is real.
Claire just has too much eyeliner on and her lips look a bit dry, but other than that, I like what she’s wearing (the theme was avant garde, after all) and think she’s quite pretty.
Mindy is definitely plumping her lips. And as a huge fan of The Office, I can tell you her skin was much darker in the early days of that show. She’s probably staying out of the sun quite a lot. I don’t really think she’s bleaching her skin.
