Here is little Kristen Stewart working an off-beat red-and-black patterned Proenza Schouler gown at last night’s Met Gala (which was a tribute to McQueen, “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty”). Do I have to suck it up and admit to liking something that K-Stew did? Kind of. While this dress isn’t what I would choose for a red carpet, and it’s not what I would have picked out for Kristen (if I was styling her in some kind of dream situation), the dress looks pretty good on her.

I was going to nit-pick the way the dress fit on Kristen’s bust, but as really looked at it, the fit is rather beautiful, and that’s WHY the dress works on her so well. The pattern of the fabric (some kind of heavy silk, I believe) is unique, especially for this kind of event. So, my verdict on the dress: off-beat, but solid.

As for Kristen’s hair and makeup… eh, I kind of like it too. The hair is kind of messy, but it still looks “done” and “fashiony” and somebody gave Kristen dark eyes and a pale mouth, a combo that works well with her coloring. I’m glad she didn’t do the red-dress/red-lips thing. I also give her credit for actually smiling and posing like a fashion girl on the red carpet, as opposed to just scowling and looking like a troll (like usual).
