Sofia Richie in Topshop at the Met Gala: try hard or cool?

A handful of models last night were dressed in either Topshop or H&M and I didn’t hate it. The clothing chains created some decent gowns, although H&M was much more on theme and less cheap-looking as we’ll get to in a moment. On E! last night they were fussing over Sofia Richie’s look, which wasn’t anything special in my opinion. I missed some of what Sofia told E!’s cameras, but apparently she got a tattoo at the same time that she was having her hair and makeup done. Kudos to her for not Instagramming it yet. Sofia’s story kind of underscored the calculation behind Sofia’s look, although I’ve seen much worse. The moto jacket is kind of cool and I like her jewelry, but overall this is forgettable. It’s just a deep v-neck gold loose metallic gown. Also I wish wet look hair would go away already. Her people paired that with too much highlighter on her face and she just looks sweaty.

Candice Swanepoel was also in Topshop, in a big ‘ol black strapless dress with a giant skirt. Of all the Topshop gowns, this was my favorite and she wears it well but the bar is rather low. I do love her styling with that tight cascading pony and cat eye accented with a swath of blush. Her makeup is amazing and she’s so pretty. Candice just had a baby in October! There was a lot of talk about Behati Prinsloo’s baby daughter, whom she gushed about on the red carpet, but Behati’s baby is actually a couple of weeks older than Candice’s.

Here’s Behati Prinsloo in a white Topshop sheath gown with cutouts and straps. It’s a great little gown which is not memorable or on theme, but she looks exquisite. Kudos to all the hair and makeup artists last night because most of the styling was impressive. (With the exception of some of the wet look hair.)

    What’s the point of being there if you’re not going to follow the theme?
    Even for a classic red carpet those dresses are utterly boring.
    Sofia Richie looks like she went there swimming and got tangled into a piece of aluminium.

    Sophia looks so much like Baby Bieber… I can’t unsee it.

    • Amanduh says:

      Me too…like I swear Beiber just put on a dress. It’s the face…

    • RussianBlueCat says:

      Glad someone else noticed that. I thought I needed more coffee

    • fiorucci says:

      Yup and they dated right? He loves himself a lot

    • NtSoSclBtrfly says:

      Same thought here! I really thought the thumbnail photo was the beebs when i glanced over it.

    • my3cents says:

      Yes! My first thought was who put him in a dress!

    • Pandy says:

      Oh god you are so right! How is she a model??? Girl needs a bra and she’s not even 20? The others were “models” although i do like Candace’s hair and make up.

    Try hard.
    And what happened to her posture?

    a waxy bieber with boobs

  5. anna says:

    sofia’s gown looks like she has it on backwards.

  6. Ayra. says:

    Sofia’s dress looks like foil paper, the really cheap and thin one.

  7. Taiss says:

    How did Sophia get invited in the first, wasn’t this even supposed to be soooo exclusive? And she looks a mess.

  8. Ama says:

    What does Sofia Richie do for a living or what is she famous for?
    Aka: Who is she?

    • fiorucci says:

      Sister of Nicole daughter of Lionel

      • holly hobby says:

        I really like Lionel Ritchie. I watched his interview with Piers Morgan (I know I know but the Life Stories interviews are great. Barry Gibb’s was also a good one) and he came across as such a nice, unpretentious person. So sad his kids are not like that.

  9. KatM says:

    I feel like they should have an event called the “Spawn Ball” where the “model/actress/actor” category of famous offspring attend. They could fill an entire ballroom with just the children of famous people who are “models.”

    • SallyTomato says:

      You’ve expressed my thoughts beautifully. When you refer to an event as “exclusive” yet invite every Instagram model… OOF. I feel bad for the few legit invitees.

    I kinda hate Sofia Richie’s outfit, she is such a pretty girl but that dress looks really cheap and it didn’t suit her (nor does that terrible hairstyle/colour on her).

    On the other hand Prisloo’s dress was stunning!

  11. Tw says:

    Someone get Sophia Richie to the methadone clinic ASAP.

  12. Jessica says:

    Sofia is anything but a model. She would be any other quite unattractive female if it weren’t for her last name. I wish she would go away.

    • G says:

      I actually feel kind of sorry for her? She really is quite unattractive, but is surrounded by a bunch of other celebrity spawn who can parlay famous names and better looks into their own fame. She needs to give up and focus on developing some kind of talent. Or loafing, either way.

  13. jess1632 says:

    Sofia looks horrible. Like cheap and tacky. Can we stop making her a thing? She’s no nicole Ritchie circa early 2000s, or have talent like her father, so why pay attention?

  14. Ck says:

    Sofia Richie is fug. There is no way around it. Her hair looks like she used one of those home highlight caps and the roots are all spotty, then she just put it in a ponytail and called it a day.

    Also, her face is more drugs than anyone else on that carpet. Get it together, child.

  15. HappyMom says:

    Where in the world are her parents??? That child is a mess.

  16. Redgrl says:

    Sofia would be nowhere but for nepotism. She just looks grubby here. Grubby and bloated and messy.

  17. A says:

    They are really trying to make her happen so bad too bad she’s absolutely basic.

  18. bella says:

    Sorry, Sophie is one of the worst dressed here! Yuck. The only one here that looks amazing is Behati. Candice bust line is horrible! She looks like she can barely breathe.
