Here we have Jessica Alba in gold lace Diane Von Furstenberg deep v-neck gown. Her styling is so glam and pretty, and I love her accessories. To me this dress is underwhelming though. It has some amazing details, particularly the tiered waistline which leads to the flowing skirt. I think that this is more of an awards ceremony or premiere dress than something for the Met Gala. It’s very lovely, it’s just not a standout gown.

Lea Michele tried to stand out in the wrong way, her default way, in a shiny gold backless Altuzarra dress that showed way too much of her fake cleavage. The dress has some strange bunched fabric at the waist and also features a huge slit at the side. Thirsty. And she paired it with matching gold pumps! I do like her hair and makeup though, that’s something.

Lea’s Glee costar, Dianna Agron, was much less attention-grabbing in sequin black Miu Miu with an amazing purple band across the bustline. I love how this dress mixes contemporary with 20s styling, it’s incredible. This is how you do a plunging neckline, you make it striking without the threat of a nip slip. However I do dislike her poofy hair. I thought that trend died a while ago.

Kate Mara has been blonde since early this year, and it really does not suit her. Also not suiting her: this huge Valentino with a floral pattern that looks like a tacky 80s bedspread. Maybe this dress would have worked in a bolder color, but as it is I really dislike it.

Idina Menzel/Adele Dazim was in this kind of cheesy looking sequin and tulle white Donna Karan Atelier gown. It has a long train and she just looks uncomfortable in it. Plus her styling looks amateurish. Sideswept curly hair, bright red lipstick AND a pale eyeshadow with liquid eyeliner? That’s a prom level look and she deserves better. She’s still beautiful, I just would like to see her in a more subtle look.
