As Kaiser covered earlier today, disgraced designer John Galliano is gradually clawing his way back. He designed Amal Clooney’s Maison Margiela Met Gala gown and did both Cate Blanchett’s Oscar look and Rihanna’s Grammy’s suit. So was it a kind of nod to Galliano’s past greatness that Mary Kate and Ashley wore his designs on the Met red carpet? Did they work with Galliano to score these dresses or did they just pull some gowns out of the back of their mausoleum of a closet, smear some kohl on their eyes and call it a day? They’re like the twins from The Shining – you never quite know what they’re up to.
Behati Prinsloo was in a dark navy Tommy Hillfiger velvet and mesh open back gown that showed just the right amount of skin. She carried a fan purse, had tassel earrings and matching tassles down her back. Many of you are pointing out that her eyeliner is questionable for this event.
Also in Hillfiger and absolutely killing it we have Karolina Kurkova. Her legs, her shoes! This was a lot of people’s favorite look of the night and for good reason.
I’m adding Georgia May Jagger in as she really fit the theme well too. Her dress may be kimono-inspired, and kimonos are traditionally Japanese but they do have their roots in Chinese culture too. She’s in Alessandro Michele for Gucci and that’s Michele with her. This is Michele’s first year as Gucci’s creative director and he’s getting praise for bringing the label in a fresh, youthful direction. Jagger’s gown was a standout last night.

The Olsen twins seriously creep me out.
I read somewhere that on red carpets, they quietly say they word “prune” to themselves to get that weird, hollow-cheeked and pouty-lipped facial expression that they’re both sporting here. It might be total bullish!t, but it’s kind of hilarious and now I can’t unsee it.
Behati is one of my faves of the night. She looks perfect.
Yes! I read that too somewhere and now I can’t unsee it. Something about how saying “prune” produces the “proper” sorta-smile while relaxing the face and poofing up the lips. It was so weird I remember it.
This expression makes them look old.
I agree with perplexed, it’s a very aging pose, they’re young but they look like a pair of old ladies especially with the weird mouth thing. It’s not flattering, if that is why they do it.
I have to agree.. also they are 6 months younger than me and I look 15 years younger than them.
They seriously creep me out.
Love Karolina Kurkova’s dress she looks AMAZING.
Georgia looks good too, if not slightly bored and sad to be there.
That’s all…
They are 10 YEARS younger than me and look like my aunt.
It’s like everytime I see them (in pictures, let it be clear), they look sickly. I’m not concern trolling or skinny shaming or whatever but they just .. look… out of it. Like they are visiting us from another galaxy or universe or whatever. And they don’t speak our language. They just gaze with their piercing eyes absorbing everything…
Ok enough hahahaha
Right? I understand quirky but my God those twins look really old for their age. I’m almost 4 years older than them but they look 15 years older than me. And they seem to be doing this to themselves on purpose. It’s not a good look.
I was thinking the exact same thing. They look so old! You have to work hard to look that old at their age.
until a couple years ago, Ashley used to look her age and still looks a lot fresher than Mary-Kate, but it looks like years of carb deprivation have caught up with both of them. Hard. (harder on MK though, sad considering her past struggles)
The try-hard sunken hollow face poses don’t help. Egads! They look like mean old school marms.
I agree with everyone here saying how OLD the twins look. That was my first thought upon seeing these pictures. Didn’t Mary Kate have a drug issue? I could be wrong but I thought she did. I remember reading that her security team went to Heath Ledger before the cops of EMTs did to cover up his drug use because they supposedly used to party together. If she had a drug problem, that would explain her haggard appearance.
They’re extremely creepy. I don’t understand why so many consider them fashion icons.
I have to say, Behati looks great–understated yet gorgeous with the proper accessories, a real winning look !! Karolina is also amazing, of course, but Behati would be among the few Best and elegantly dressed for me.
Have they done something to their faces? cheek implants or some sort of prosthetics or something?
Creepy would be an understatement.
my thoughts
something’s not right with them. and their faces look so strange now.
They make me think of Golden Era Hollywood divas; rich, eccentric and past their prime (think Sunset Blvd), pushing 70 but with enough plastic surgery to pass for an alien looking 45.
They always look like they need to wash their hair
They look like something out of an Edward Gorey book. (The Ashleycrumb Tinies?)
i salute you for that 😉
I adore Edward Gorey, yet I don’t think he would draw anything as overtly frightening as that.
Second that – they each need a roast beef sandwich and a chocolate milkshake, far more than stylists. Jesus, they look like characters out of Penny Dreadful . . .
Ugh. Ghoulish. They look like they’ve been exhumed……..
Forget them ever being on a Full House reboot, they look way to old to be anyone’s younger sister…..or older sister……..or mother……..
I think they were damaged by a childhood spent in makeup chairs and being forced to look alike, so they reacted by cultivating a sense of individuality (against mainstream pop culture) and a lot less makeup (no hairbrushing! Poor MK. That skin. Step away from the smokes, hon.)
I really don’t get the Olsen twins at this point. They are grown women and yet they always come to things together. They always pose in exactly the same way. They have atrocious style. Why are they a “thing” still?
I don’t get them, either. Despite being gazillionaires, I always feel a little sorry for them; they just always look so incredibly miserable. The Miss Havisham vibe just makes me sad.
I think people appreciate the fact that they don’t follow the pack, which is refreshing especially for child stars. They have been around since they were babies, yet seem so unaffected. Sure you could call them ‘weird’ but prefer them than the new ‘brat pack’.
I don’t know if this is true, but I have heard that they are actually respected in the designer world for their designs (not for their own choices at these events).
Hillfiger dress kills it. The Alessandro Michele for Gucci is meh.
The Olsen twins look like they are playing the evil stepsisters in Cinderella.
I’m thinking more like Death Eaters in the service of Voldemort
Lmfao. Lucius Malfoy meets Bellatrix LeStrange.
Dudes, it’s May. Nature rejoices and shouts, “Put the black clothes in storage until October!”
Nature thirsts for color, dudes.
More like Meth gala.
But seriously, what is going on with the Olsen twins?
Maybe they’re just tired, but they do not look healthy to me…well I guess Ashley looks ok but MK looks drugged.
Karolina Kurkova on the other hand, looks awesome.
@Meth Gala- lol, you win the internet, everyone else go home!
KK looks like a stewardess that is too tall for the airplane.
Wasn’t there a Lainey blind about some starlet who would be holed up for days with her bf smoking meth or something and people guest it was MK and Olivier. MK does not look well.
I read a while back that the ED thing was a cover-up for a meth habit. I have no idea whether it’s true or not but I do know that Jodi Sweetin of Full House had her issues with meth addiction.
The olsens look like grannies.I am sure they smell like mothballs.
Karolina looks amazing! Gorgeous dress, amazing body and her shoes are to die for.
Georgia May looks fabulous too. Love the colors.
No idea what or who Georgia May is? I’m assuming shes of some relation to Mick but she looks lovely! The man shes with however also (see Gong Li) looks to have smelled a fart or Goop is close by.
She is the daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall. Pretty girl.
Her date is…weird.
She is Mick’ and Jerry Hall’s daughter and is a very successful model.
I have serious love for the Olsen twins and everything they wear. Sort of a gothy Grey Gardens. MK isn’t looking so healthy lately. Hopefully she’s alright.
Can we talk about Behati’s eyeliner because wtf?
The eyes, Behati. Since eyes are used by idiots to mock Asian people in general…I dunno. Is Behati paying homage to the almond-shaped eye? See, THIS is where sensitivities matter. Chopsticks don’t matter. Someone wearing clothing from another culture doesn’t matter. I grew up with lots of East Indian boys who dressed up like pirates at Halloween. Should we all shriek cultural appropriation? No. It’s harmless. But here? That eye shape? How is that not like blackface? Less emotionally-charged, sure. But it makes me uncomfortable.
With all the cultural richness to celebrate, with all the amazing fabric, color, symbols and style inherent to Chinese clothing and Chinese costume over the centuries, why did some women choose to “go Chinese” through an alteration of their facial features? Making slant eyes is a problem, like pulling up the outer corners of their eyes using their fingers. At least the women that were subtle about this made it seem more like an homage, like a desirable trait rather than a blatant stereotype.
I was thinking about why this bothered me, but Rhianna’s and Lady Gaga’s eyebrows didn’t. And it’s because their eyebrows are just an aesthetic preference. You see them on Chinese masks and in drawings. But Chinese women don’t shape their eyebrows that way. So it’s not a caricature–it’s a reference. But the eyes? That’s a feature. Like skin color. It’s just not the same thing to me.
Yes. ALLLLL the ladies with the eyeliner at a Chinese themed event – it’s too much… it’s awful.
I get my nails done at a place where most of the people working are Asian. They have one girl working there who is white. BUT! She lines her eyes like this and dyes her hair jet black… it’s very, very weird and off-putting.
West, that sounds creepy and agreed ladies. I also found myself shaking my head at how many women went for the exaggerated eyeliner/cat eye makeup. It’s fairly obvious they were trying to slant up their eyes as if that was necessary to honor the theme.
My God her shoes! Her shooeeessss (busts out LunchMoney soul version) I said her shoeeeesssss!
Now THAT’S hitting the theme target!
Love it. Also can someone explain to me what the one Olsen twin did that fcked up her face so badly? Cause they ain’t identical no more.
I know MK suffered from an ED for quite a while but this is looking like meth face to me. Sorry, I know my accusation might be unfair, but that’s what I see here.
I see it too. Fergie has been open about her meth use, and that’s who Mary Kate is reminding me of. In the face, and especially the neck.
I NEED!!! those shoes but I’m a poor student. I could cry. Seriously. 🙁
Mary-Kate’s skin is awful, wow. Her neck looks old and wrinkly. What is going on with them?
The Olsens Look Like they came to collect Souls … excepting Behati I was Happy with everything else in this post including the Dude’s jacket
Lol ‘look like they came to collect souls’ I really like these quirky girls they are so comfortable being them.
Karolina’s shoes are giving me all kinds of feelings
They are bonkers. I kind of love them.
The Olsen twins look like they are wearing casket linings.
Super expensive casket linings. Lol!
Galliano helped curate the exhibit at the Met and the folks wearing Dior pulled from the archives are likely wearing his work.
And whatever work MK did to her face really highlights the difference between hers and Ashely’s faces. I never noticed how much bigger her head is.
The Olsens are SO boring, as usual.
I´m sorry, but that´s it.
I was waiting for someone to wear something short and rock it. Karolina looks amazing and on point for the theme of the night.
And I love Georgia May’s gown. There are so many reds on the red carpet, that this is different, the combination of colors and love the print, and I also love the kimono-inspired style.
KK’s dress and shoes are absolutely on point and on theme. She just got everything right and she did not have that try hard look on her face like the other look at me, look at mes. You actually wanted to look at her. The eye make-up on that other one is in poor taste though her purse was cute.
OMG the Olsen twins looks like shit !!! are they on meth ???
I thought Behati looked gorgeous, unique without trying too hard, simple, elegant but with a twist. Georgia Jagger looked cheap…and the dress looked like some polyester mess from Mrs. Roper’s closet. But those Olsen twins…eek. What’s happened to them? They both looked 50, like they did their hair themselves in the dark, and their clothes are always too big. And neither should ever wear mascara or liner below their eyes again. These outfits look like Dowager Fashion from the 1800’s.
But Karolina….all she has to do is show up with those legs and she shuts it down. She could be wearing a Hefty bag. Wouldn’t matter.
I love you for the Mrs. Roper reference 🙂
Jagger’s dress was definetely more japanese-inspired, than chinese. (and yes, I know japanese roots are chinese).
When I see the Olsen twins I think of an old lady who lives alone in a creepy old mansion. I think that’s what they are growing into. Georgia May Jagger looks like she’s wearing a dressing robe.
Mary Kate’s hair and Ashley’s hair always looks so thin and lifeless and no shine. Either they aren’t healthy or they just aren’t aging well, because their faces have an unhealthy pallor to their skin, not glowing, that’s for sure.
These two are the weirdest looking people in the universe.
Can someone explain me what’s the point of being billionaires if you look miserable and bored and out of it all-the-god-damn-time? How can you have all the opportunities and resources in the world and still look like the creepy, less good-looking aunties of Mrs Adams??
I don’t know if I should feel sorry for the Olsen or just plain mad that they seem so ungrateful and resentful.
If there is any celebrity autobiography I would stop the world to read, it would be one by an Olsen twin. Those eyes tell me that they have swam in the torrid Hollywood abyss since childhood and have stories to share.
The twins look older than they should (their skin does not look like that of a healthy, young person).
I feel like the Olsen twins rushed into adulthood and are now deep into middle age. Aren’t they still in their 20s? Yikes.
I think Behati’s purse is a peacock. I like that, but the eyeliner is a big NO.
Wow, you are right. They are in their 20s, 28 to be exact. I thought they were in their 30s and not aging well. LOL
No no no! 28?!?! I am 43 and look my age. But they look my age or older. Well, one of them does. The other looks healthier. What are they doing to themselves? I saw an interview they did on oprah, can’t remember what for, and it was like they were from another planet. They didn’t get jokes, or even respond with proper intonation to questions. I realized than that these are some seriously strange young women. Successful for sure, but odd.
F fs – how much would th twins charge to haunt a house?
The Olsen twins always look strange and creepy but now so old looking and not even thirty yet!!!!!! How does a 29 year old have turkey neck?!! They look starved in the face and frozen from cosmetic meddling.
Behati looks beautiful, Karolina stunningly so and Georgia looks very nice. The twins are terrifying to look at, they belong in a horror movie.
The Olsen twins always look like filthy blank eyed zombies
Prinsloo’s dress is gorgeous. I want.
Kurkova — hate the dress, but my God — those legs! Those shoes!! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
The Olsens look like they climbed out of a crypt.
I hate the dress, too… she looks like she should be spinning on a music box! Unless her legs are another foot longer (which they very well could be), we’re close to knowing what she had for lunch.
How does everybody tell the Olsens apart? Aside from the fact that the one on the left looks more like Yoda/Gollum than the other one.
Why does the one twin look like one of Cinderella’s 50 year old aunts?
Why are they giving Galliano any recognition. They both are creepy to me.
I am 37 and wondering why in the hell do I look younger than the Olsen twins? No bragging going on here! What are they doing to themselves???
I love Karolina K’s shoes. *foghorn leghorn voice* I say, I say, I LOVE those shoes.
Lol lol I loveee you !!
Georgia May’s dress is actually done in the style of Antique Chinese robes.
i was gonna comment wondering why one twin looks so much older and haggard than the other and then i read thru the thread and now i feel really bummed. meth tho? that’s really the rumor? i thought that meth was for poor trailer trash types- ? or is the “mr.white purity” really a thing-?
I like MK and Ashley. Anyone remember the disgusting countdown until they turned 18. I think that’s enough for any young lady to say fuck it to society’s beauty standards and pull in the opposite direction, even if it freaks everyone else out. Especially if it bothered mainstream media and fashion.
For a while now they have taken the distinct aura of Miss Havisham, from manner of dress to aged appearance. Their younger sister looks so ALIVE in comparison to them that it’s almost tragic.
All the models and the Olsen twins look amazing. I love the twins’ dark look.
Georgia May is my girl crush – and she looks so beautiful in this gorgeous dress. {{Magic mirror on the wall; please let me be Georgia May for a day}}
Is Georgia May’s date a wizard?
The extravagant display of wasted resources is turning me off.
