Jessica Pare in Jason Wu at the Met Gala: one of the worst looks of the night?

I was all prepared to make Stacy Keibler the lead girl for this post until I saw the mess that is Jessica Pare. Jessica plays Megan Draper on Mad Men, remember? And Jessica is trying to make this “Fashion Girl” thing happen, so she’s been doing more and more fashion events over the past two years. Jessica wore Jason Wu – one of her favorite designers – to the Met Gala last night. Sigh… ugh.

I had been sitting here, wondering if anyone had the temerity to actually wear pants to the Met Gala, and now I’m sorry for wondering. I don’t know if Jason Wu collaborated with Jessica on this look, or if she was like, “Hey, let’s cut the skirt off of this terrible dress and I’ll wear it with pants!” Whatever happened in the design process was a complete failure. And I will give her no credit for trying to “make it work” by matching her eyeshadow. NO CREDIT.

Here’s my girlfriend Doutzen Kroes in Theyskens Theory. It’s not the best, and it’s FAR from the worst. I actually kind of like it and I wonder why Gisele wasn’t wearing it.

Lena Dunham in Erdem. This is so boring for her. Ugh.

Maggie Gyllenhaal in Calvin Klein. This is awful. I love Maggie, but this is awful. Her breasts need more support, and the flutter detail on the bust makes her boobs look lumpy. And I’m not entirely sold on her pixie cut either.

Stacy Keibler in Rachel Roy. Blah. The dress is nothing special, but the shoes are God-awful.

    Forget the dress/pants – that eyeshadow! Gahhhh!

    • Dinah says:

      Yes- my first thought was WTF was she thinking? So hideous- like a Halloween face. Is she psychotic?

      As for Lena Dunham- OMG, stand up straight, girlfriend. She looks pretty in this pic, but the slouching, wow. Yes, boring, safe dress. I think I see SJPeePee behind her- would like to have seen her garb.

      Kiebler, meh.

    • EllieK says:

      Yes. The eyeshadow. She looks like a sweet transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania.

      • judyjudy says:

        The second I saw her I started singing “I’m just a sweet transvestite…”

        Great minds, man….

    • gennigemini says:

      Stacy Keibler elf’s shoes are AWESOME! When are y’all gonna comment that she looks exactly like Duchess Dolittle/nothing 🙂

  2. TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

    Lena’s dress could have been okay if she’d checked her slouchy posture. Slouching isn’t punk! Stand up straight and be defiant.

    • judyjudy says:

      She’s so awful.

      • gennigemini says:

        Amen Sister! I don’t like her, not because she’s ugly on the outside, but she’s UGLY on the inside. And it shows at only 26 years old.

  3. don't kill me i'm french says:

    stacy keibler looks classy and rock

  4. freya says:

    All I see when I look at Maggie Gyllenhaal’s pic is Alexander Skarsgård in the back 🙂

    • LadyMTL says:

      Oh my yes! Who cares about her when he’s there looking so fine in his perfectly fitting suit. *Drools*

    • Gina says:

      Lol that’s exactly what I was going to say. The best part of this post.

    • Minx says:

      X1000. Alex in a suit… *drools* Wait…Maggie Gyllenhaal was in there? 😀

  5. BooBooLaRue says:

    Excuse me Kaiser, but was that my boy Eddie Redmayne in the back ground of the first pix?

    • Vickyb says:

      Yes! It is Eddie Redmayne! I just had to Google him to see if he was there – bloody love him. I’m crushing on him HARD.

  6. BooBooLaRue says:

    Not hatin’ on Stacy here.

  7. Irin says:

    Doutzen Kroes that girl is gorgeous and her body is perfect. Oh god I hate her!!!! I wonder why the give so much credit to Giselle when there are so much prettier girl.

    Lena Dunham she cleans up nicely I love the dress boring but yet classy and trust me this woman is far away from classy.

  8. Miranda says:

    OK, with the theme being punk…why haven’t we seen ANYONE wearing Balmain!? Obvious choice!

    • Gina says:

      Kate Bosworth wore Balmain but it was actually pretty boring.

      • Amber says:

        Bosworth’s dress was a lot like Stacy’s, too. That’s another reason why this carpet was such a mind-numbing failure. Designers are making the same type of stuff anyway when you get down to it. But when you combine that with celebs being chickens, who can’t think outside the box even with help from their teams, you get dullness all around.

      • Miranda says:

        Oh, thanks, I missed her pic earlier!

        You’re right, her dress was pretty boring. I was thinking more along the lines of of the Balmain collection(s?) from a few years back with all the leather minis. I remember one in particular that was draped with chains, and another that was covered in spikes, and safety pins.

    • xxx says:

      Even more so than Balmain, why haven’t we seen anyone wearing Vivienne Westwood?? The original punk fashion designer?? Or McQueen or Jean Paul Gaultier? Designers that have successfully brought punk influences into high fashion many a time??

      • Vickyb says:

        Christina Ricci was wearing Westwood, and tartan, so good effort.

        But, I agree, they all fell way short on the punk theme!

        Where were the safety pins?! Any safety pins?

  9. Kristine says:

    BAHAHA that blue dress is effing terrible! Why would you ever let someone talk you into that?! Maggie looks tragic which is sad because I love her. Doutzen looks good. The rest are snooze.

  10. Dawn says:

    Not one of the worst looks at all…because gee there are so many who were beyond awful. She still looks way better than Kimmode and even Anna Wintour for that matter. I guess the Met Gala is no longer what it once was just based on the people invited. Vogue is officially dead.

  11. Lemony says:

    Lena Dunham made that duh face in every pic I’ve seen of her so far. WTF?
    Is that her punk face?

  12. Dani says:

    God I hate Lena. So like her to not even ‘try’ because trying is sooo not hispter enough.

  13. qtpi says:

    It’s not nice to say but her teeth drive me insane. Your eyes are drawn to them first before anything else.

  14. anneesezz says:

    Lena is so try hard at being not try hard. YAWN.

  15. ladybert62 says:

    So the Met Gala is a costume party – Halloween in Spring seems to be the theme.

  16. Ag says:

    That blue dress is god awful. And her make up. Wow.

    I’m actually digging Maggie’s look.

  17. yeahright says:

    Why is everyone going goth this year? Its gross.

  18. geekychick says:

    Lena Dunham is the worst-it’s like she’s literally running a campaign against normal-weighing women. It’s as if she’s saying, with this choice: “See? There is no apropriate dresses for my body type! If you wanna look good, you gotta starve!” UGH! There are so many great cuts for EVERY body type, and she has enough money and clout, and then she chooses this? What is punk on this? What is special? She could have bought that dress at every mall!

    • Latisse says:

      I agree, what in the name of eff is up with that dress, and the stupid expression and the slouched posture? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GIRL AND NO THIS IDIOT IS NOT THE VOICE OF MY GENERATION.

      Whew, feel so much better.

  19. Littlewood says:

    Doutzen is looking great, one of the few that got the balance between punk and couture just right. All I want to do when I see Lena is shout; “Stand up straight, shoulders back and look proud.” like my mum just to do to me.

  20. Cool Phosphorescent Shimmer says:

    At least Jessica Pare didn’t smile. We can thank our lucky stars for that.

    PS–I know y’all defend her teeth. Whatever. It was a JOKE.

    • Faye says:

      I really wanted to make a teeth joke but restrained myself, so thank you for doing it for me :).

      I normally don’t pick on physical things that much, and I’d much rather have a great actress who isn’t perfect-looking than the reverse. But maybe in part because she is such a bad actress, I cannot get away from those teeth on Mad Men. Honestly, they seem so prominent that at this point they should get their own billing and SAG agent.

  21. smee says:

    Jessica Pare – whoever she is – is channeling Dr. Frank N. Furter with that eyeshadow.

  22. lucy2 says:

    I like Doutzen’s, but the rest are not good. Jessica, your makeup!

    Lena has the posture of a toddler. It’s very odd on an adult.

  23. chalkdustgirl says:

    Her eye makeup is undeniably bold, yet it is still understated by her grill. I’m sorry…I love a girl with a big, toothy smile just as anyone else does…but I cannot get over that mouth! Her smile is big, but just not big AND attractive.

  24. sarah says:

    I finally figured out who Stacy looks like! Jan from (the American version) of the Office!!! She looks terribly tacky in that dress, I might add. It’s an 80s/mall look.

  25. sss says:

    It’s perfect that Maggie-Gagme wore a dog choker – a dog choker for a droopy dog. Eh I hate her. so frigging smug and annoying
