Kate Bosworth was in Oscar de la Renta last night, in reams of beige tulle topped by a veil lined with pearls. Her styling made her look saint-like and I love it. She’s nailing the look too, she must have practiced so hard at home. I often forget that Kate has heterochroma, where one eye is a different color than the other, and you can really see it here.
Here are Pharrell Williams and Helen Lasichanh in Chanel, and Helen is rocking that neon hair that we also saw on Cara Delevingne and Adwoa Aboah. Call me simple-minded, but I enjoy these direct interpretations of the theme with all the crosses and liturgical robes.
Helen’s combat boots are everything.

In contrast Claire Danes doesn’t look on theme at all in a colorblock empire waist Marni gown. I guess she gets a pregnancy pass though. In the thumbnails I thought her date was her husband, Hugh Dancy, dressed like an 80s rapper for some reason, but that Slim Shady-looking guy in the suit with a monkey print is their creative director, Francesco Risso.

Urgh no – it looks like a wedding dress that ran away from the divorce party.
Like that outfit and lol @ the header picture.
In every shot I’ve seen of Kate Bosworth at this event, she’s had on a melancholic face.
Deliberate?
It’s almost as if she’s channelling a celestial portrait.
Agree. I think it’s deliberate. And I know some people are into that but she bugs me. Irrational, I know, but I just find her extra in her fashionista-ness.
Well, it’s not like she’s got that much going on, posing on the carpet is pretty much her job now.
Awww. Poor thang. Ha! I love Kate though and her desperation.
Kate stood out to me- she looks great.
As for Claire, why pay $30,000 for a ticket just to wear the same thing you’d wear on any regular red carpet?
Kate slapped a veil on to her look and posed extra hard – that doesn’t make her super thematic.
Claire doesn’t usually do the theme anyhow. She usually just wears a nice dress and that’s it.
Really ? https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/05/met-gala-2016-red-carpet Used as an example for how to really hit the theme for these sorts of things.
She did the theme for Posen and then last year, but I would say that this year’s look is a return to her typical wheelhouse of column dress.
Bridget, why is your name in blue?
Kate’s whole ensemble was beautiful.
According to my 89 year old great aunt, those boots Helen is wearing are what many nuns used to wear with their habits.
Kate Bosworth just looks like a drugged up bride in a dated dress.
Pharell and Helen are the best!! always admired their styling
Did Kate actually gain a bit of weight finally? She looks good.
Love Pharrell and Helen. I normally have no patience for the Met gala but I have to admit that I’m enjoying most of the looks this year.
I’ve also noticed lately that she looks less skeletal.
Pharrell’s and Helen’s are among my favorite looks. I’ve enjoyed checking the looks out, too.
Yes! Pharrell and Helen are amazing and I love how their looks mirror and enhance each other.
I thought Kate looked good too. I find her super annoying, but she does look healthy and her look was on point here.
Agreed. I like everything about this.
A plus for effort and execution Kate. Normally she bores me.
Trying too hard.
It’s the Met Gala hun. You’re SUPPOSED to try hard. It’s a theme party.
I don’t understand why people are bashing some for being try hards… It’s literally a costume party. The fanciest in existence.
They are supposed too try hard, this is the one time it’s ok and expected :p
She nailed the theme and is killing it. She looks gorgeous!
Loved Kate’s look. As for Claire I am calling cop out. Cardi B is 8 months pregnant and went full tilt with the theme. Claire didn’t even try.
I wonder if some of the people in non-theme dresses had something else they were going to wear but decided at the last minute they hated it and grabbed something out of their closet.
I kind of don’t like the ones that are SO on point, with the crosses and the really super obvious imagery. I like the ones who had to think a little harder and went a bit more subtle but are still on theme.
Claire Danes doesn’t really get a pass though. Cardi B is heavily pregnant and she slayed the theme!
Yes.
I love Helen, she is just a stunning woman. And there is no way they should be at shoulder level with one another. Pharrell is wearing lifts.
HA….HAHAHAHHAHA…..HAHAHAHAH!!!!
*falls out chair*
Girl! That’s the first thing I noticed too!
I loved Kate’s veil, hair, and makeup, thought the dress was fine.
Pharrell and Helen (Helen esp) always bring it.
Big robes are back: times are getting conservative and authoritarian again. No love from me.
Kate Bosworth: Holy Mary? Side parting curtains? Seriously? Looks more like a carneval costume to me, tbh.
Claire Danes and husband
I think Dancy made a statement on behalf of the evolution theory: there are monkeys on his suit. He criticises the biblical ideas of creation(ism). Nice one.
Claire Danes: red and lilac/violet/purple. Daring combination and totally papal colours. Papal colours and evolution theory suit walk the red carpet hand in hand. Nice one. ;-D
Why is Kate Bosworth at all relevant?
I HATED the hair. Dear god. Something about it makes me crazy!
