FYI: This is a post devoted to the jackasses who publicly complained about attending the Met Gala in years past but magically came out for this year’s gala.
Gwyneth Paltrow attended the 2013 Met Gala wearing a really terrible hot pink dress with sleeves. Following that Met Gala, Gwyneth bitched and moaned about how terrible, un-fun and crowded the galas had become and she boldly declared that she would never return. All it took was four years for Gwyneth to break her promise! Basically, now that Gwyneth and Anna Wintour are in business together – Conde Nast is putting out Goop: The Magazine – Gwyneth now gets to come out for the Met Gala again. How predictable. Once again, Gwyneth wore a pink Calvin Klein and Jesus, I hate this. It’s boring. It’s off-theme. She’s worn sh-t that looks just like this a million other times.
Speaking of people who swore they would never return to the Met Gala, here’s Amy Schumer in Zac Posen. Amy attended last year’s gala and she also bitched and moaned about how the whole thing felt like a “farce,” and “We’re dressed up like a bunch of f—king a–holes.” And: “I have no interest in fashion … I don’t care.” So, what else is there to say? Her dress sucks. I wish she had just stayed home.
And here’s the last one of this trifecta of stupidity and hypocrisy: Lena Dunham. Lena wore a comforter by Elizabeth Kennedy and she looked awful. Lena also publicly complained about the gala, but more people paid attention to the fact that she made some really gross comments about Michael B. Jordan and Odell Beckham Jr. after the gala.

Gwyneth always thinks she looks hotter than she does, ive always said this…must be the reason she doesn’t eat octopussy so let’s just hand out the snooze award, i’ll hand you my alarm clock. Amy & Lena, are runner-ups
Exactly. And she thinks she’s sexy. But no. No no no. Plus she always looks the same. I don’t need to see her middle part, flat-ironed hair in yet another pink dress. Make it stop!
Gwyneth just all around thinks she is better looking than she is, and that she is a better human being in general than she actually is. I have never personally found her or her shapeless body very attractive. I’ve always found her face to be very masculine looking. That dress looks like a cheap prom dress.
The dress would make a little more sense if it were longer. Because it’s at the length it is, it has a daytime kind of look to it rather than a formal event/gala look to it. Also, pairing it with black heels makes it look even weirder.
Goop must spend hundreds if not thousands on skincare but her face looks like a piece of old shoe leather. Ick.
Not impressed with any of the outfits and when I see Madonna’s (new) face and think of how she looked in the 1980’s I could cry.
Yes, Gwyneth takes the prize. She is the biggest sleezeball out there.
Jackassess of a feather…
They should have all stayed home. Totally ridiculous.
Gwyneth looks safe and boring as always and the other two are attention seeking hot mess.
Maybe I’m being simplistic but is it that hard to just be grateful for an invite and go? If you don’t want to go, just don’t but do you have to bash it? After all the crap they talked on it I guess I’m surprised they were still welcome.
Don’t they pay to get in???
I love how Amy and Lena are two of the not very many people who actually tried to do something for this event, especially Lena ironically enough.
Amy’s dress looks like it is made of Hefty bags. Does Zac Posen secretly hate her?
@ Megan : No, I disagree. The dress made her look like Bat Girl (with a cape made out of Hefty bags, to be true).
I’ve the feeling that Amy tries to change her image and desperately wants to be part of the HW elite.
She has that HORRIBLE HORRIBLE looking movie with Goldie to promote. All three of them look terrible. Lena needs to stop with that look she makes now when she poses. I don’t know where it came from but it needs to be retired. And Gwyneth’s chest looks burnt
I’ve seen the trailer, this movie will flop so hard.
Lena needs to stand up straight.
There’s a really sweet video on Amy’s Instagram of Goldie coming to meet her father, who has MS and is in a wheelchair. He is crying (I guess he loved her in the day) and Goldie starts crying. That’s all I’ve got. After all the snark and bitterness on twitter from male pundits and journalists about Hillary’s speech today, just not interested in badmouthing any women.
Oh she does. Amy and Lena want to be “cool” so badly. Clearly they’ve attached themselves to 3 A listers (Emma, Brie, Jen) and that STILL doesn’t let them sit at the cool kids table. It would be funny if they didn’t suck so hard as people.
Goop just believes her own hype and thinks her sh*t don’t stink.
Amy’s movie is going to flop because it’s 2017 and people are over her and she just isn’t funny.
+1
Absolutely, @sarri. You know she was foaming at the mouth to get invited to this event again.
I follow her on instagram and she posted a picture that said “I did it,” like this was some major trial and she was glad it was over. You already played that card, Amy. If you hate it, stay the hell home. You’re not blowing any of us away with your choices, anyway.
At least Lena was somewhat on theme… this dress is a play on a few different Comme des Garçons dresses. But yeah… they shouldn’t go when they just bitch and moan about it.
i like lena’s outfit as well. very much on theme. and what’s the big issue, let them bitch about the gala. complaining about an industry event and still going, i mean, whoever hasn’t done that, raise your hand.
I agree, Anna. I’m glad no one is holding me to all the complaining I do about various events I show up to time and time again 🙂 I also assume that all these folks are pushed into attending certain things based on various publicity concerns (contracts, promotion, whatever).
I agree with you in principle, but I appreciated the gossip-history-round-up angle here!
Agreed. I thought Lena looked stylish for a change and Paltrow look pretty good. I just wish her dress was a little longer
I feel you, Anna. I’ve done that too. And I’m also a fan of Lena’s dress. I think the colour is amazing on her and she looks really cute too.
There was a really beautiful photo of her in this dress. Sadly this site picked out the worst pics.
I love her look. She looks great. The other two not so much.
I like Lena’s outfit, too. Goop looks boring, and knowing her she probably thinks she looks great.
I love it. It’s a really beautiful gown.
Yeah, when I saw that last night, it almost took my breath away. It’s like a dream from my childhood. That last pic. 😍
Its looks more onpoint than the rest. Its better than what Lena usually wears.
lol I was actually about to say I appreciate that at least Lena’s dress was on theme. It annoys me when they ignore the theme To me that’s as disrespectful if not more so than bitching about the event.
I liked Lena’s dress too – I thought it was better than a lot of others that I saw.
Can’t stand either of these women but I flat out love what Lena’s wearing. Right down to the combat boots.
All of them are hypocrites. I have a feeling goopy would have stayed away forever if the Goop magazine weren’t a thing. Then Amy and Lena with their “I am so different and an outsider” shtick came back just the year after. Yawn.
Goop was there as a quid pro quo for the magazine with Wintour. That has to be the reason she showed up so contemptuous of the theme. Complete with standard hair and those black heels!!😨
Yes, black heels with that dress? huh?
Amazing assholes combo. They are all tragically ridiculous by the way.
I’m not surprised that Amy and Lena attented the MET gala. They say a lot of (stupid) things – although they don’t really mean it – just to stay in the media.
I am surprised Anna Wintour allowed them back. Goopy knows the right places to kiss.
I don’t understand the guests are not required to respect the theme. I do understand that it can be difficult and expensive but those pageant and supremely bland gowns like Goop 2017 are so out of place and ruin the event for me. I am not even into fashion.
What does AW gain from inviting all those people who don’t bother to make an effort? There are other occasions for “ordinary” gowns – like movie premieres etc.
I don’t think Anna has the power she once had. She most likely has to invite whoever Condé Nast tells her to.
a lot of the time that isnt the actors fault though as they generally wearing what the designers are making for them. Some may have more pull or are maybe not afraid to tell the designers they want something more bolder etc….but I bet most of the people just put on whatever they’re told to.
I was stunned to see Gwyneth attended – but then again not so much she she and Anna Wintour seem to be friends again with the launch of the Goop Magazine by Conde Nast (which Anna Wintour runs). Money trumps everything. Anyway, back in 2013 when the Met Gala theme was Punk, Gwyneth did a Goop post on how she helped design her hot pink long sleeved dress (which was awful). I think when she got to the event, the dress made her feel ugly, hot and uncomfortable, and she blamed how she FELT on the event itself. I think her dress this year is a reaction to that. No adherence to the theme (a slight f-you to the event), a dress that showcases her toned body and probably perfectly comfortable. Since the Goop empire is focusing more and more on ‘wellness’ than fashion, she can afford to stop trying to be cutting edge and just look toned and non-threatening.
Since Dunham lost some weight she seems to feel obligated to pose with her mouth half open – probably her idea of sexy. Frankly, all three look like idiots which they are.
Oh ok that’s what tat is… I was thinking what’s up with every picture of her mid yawn looking like she needs to poop.
nah, she’s always done that face.
^ This, it’s a Dunham standard.
YES! Her posing face makes me ragey. I have such an instant, angry reaction to her derpy “sexy” face.
Think its her weird humor coming through. Maybe somewhat mocking the event and the scene?
So, this is what an exclusive gala looks like? People who bitched about the event before, Hailey Baldwin, Sofia Richie and Victoria’s Secret models?
To me, the issues with the Met gala are the same issues with fashion shows in general. They sold their souls to young celebrities to capitalize from their social media influence, the same with bloggers. Gradually it’s less about fashion and more about the star power, but nowadays it’s not even that. Fashion shows became a circus of “look at me being all ridiculous/being paid to be here” instead of the attention being focused on he designers work, the whole reason why the event was created in the first place.
There’s no luxury or exclusivity anymore, they found a way to make everything look cheap and vulgar. Fashion may win $$ temporarily but in the long term I think it hurts the business because gradually the ones they want to attract as in buyers and celebs with certain status won’t want to be associated with any of it.
Touché!!!
LOOOL!
Kaiser, you’re on fire!
I actually like GP’s dress *runsaway*
The dress is fine, but not for this event. For this event, the fashion should have been avant garde, not nothingburger.
I kind of like it too except for the length. The event is also not screaming for a glittery piggy-pink dress. And her body looks ridiculous in it, not gonna lie (can I talk about her body when it’s part of her brand?).
I refuse to choose. All three are horribly entitled jackasses- even though I find Goop hilarious and awful at the same time.
I think Goop is funnier because she’s the most out of touch. She’s the closest to actually being living satire.

One nice thing: Lena does look a lot healthier since her weightloss, and seems happier.
They all look like fools, but even though I really don’t like Lena’s dress – at least it was something different. Goop is all 90’s Teen Movie about a prom, Amy looks SO uncomfortable (and has such a bad case of mean-face) and the dress is ridiculous and looks as if it’s squeezing her to death – which could honestly be mostly due to fabric choice.
Had Amy some work done? … or maybe I just need glasses.
looks like a condom stretched over a passion killing dildo
Omg this is amazing
Sorry ima day late!
Goop, because imb she has the highest profile and level of pretentiousness among those three.
Lena and Amy are the worst. They couldn’t stay away for a year while Gwyneth at least didn’t attend for a few years. It’s pathetic that considering how much they hated the gala last year they came running back.
I don’t hate Lena’s gown. Amy’s gown is terrible and she is the worst. I can’t muster up much about Goop either way except her eyes look different to me.
I was prepared to make fun of Gwyneth, but then I saw Lena….what’s with the face she’s sporting?
I can’t remember seeing pics of her without that face.
the theme is Commes Des Garcons, not really known for figure skimming dresses, and heres Gwen in a sparkly pink body con. If she hadn’t done the nod to architectural in the neckline, this would actually be the most on point, but she did, so this is her trying. Ugh. She’s the worst. Ever. Also dangerous.
She almost accidentally was on point, In the sense that it is completely counter the trend and look for the night, which is kind of Rei’s thing.
So accidentally close Goopy, but this is still the least on theme out of the three.
The idea behind Schumers dress is interesting, her nails are the wrong colour and her styling is wrong for it.
Dunham actually looks good. I like her dress, boots, and general styling but stroll do not like her face. Close your damn mouth and stop posing like you are 11 year olds.
I think people took Gwyneth’s comments a bit seriously, she was just riffing with the hosts during a boozy radio interview. It didn’t come off as the serious proclamation on the state of the Met Ball news outlets tried to make it out to be, and she’d often gone years without attending anyway.
Amy on the other hand is a total hypocrite. And her dress is hideous.
Out of all the celebrities that do that stupid open mouth pose Lena’s is the absolute worst & most ridiculous looking. And, yes, about the hypocrisy of this trio.
Lena clearly practiced her expression in the mirror a thousand times and then saw how it looked on camera and decided to do it everywhere. It’s so phony.
Gwyneth is starting to look a bit mental.
It’s the Botox brows!
Yup! Looks like Goop has got the crazy, one eyed, botox brow.
Gwyneth’s face looks off lately. Botox? Lena’s dress is all kinds of awful.
Gwyneth’s face looks odd , especially in the first photo. I’m not sure what it is … I could also do without the tan lines.
No fan of Lena but her dress is the most interesting here, and it’s at least trying to be on theme.
If gwyneth is the poster child for clean healthy living – I’ll happily keep eating Mcdonalds. She looks TERRIBLE. Her skin and hair are tragic. The last met gala she attended she tried to spin her pink dress as punk bc it was SO opposite the theme. Maybe she’s trying for that excuse a second time?
That was my first reaction. Her skin looks fried and her hair looks damaged.
She irritates me more than the other two, by far.
And she *always* looks paaaaaaarched, both physically and professionally, so I’m at a constant loss as to why ANYONE would consider her a health/beauty guru at all.
I thought so too. Goopy doesn’t look healthy. There’s something wrong with her face, maybe too much plastique. There’s no way her magazine can be a success, there aren’t enough people who will buy it, certainly not more than once. BTW, since when is she an authority on anything?
Considering how loudly Amy complained about being lumped in with “plus size” women, you would think she would dress more carefully. She could be a size 4 (HA!!) and that dress would still make her look like an overstuffed sausage. What on earth do they pay these stylists anyway?? Can’t they dress someone to look decent or at least a little complimentary? That is the most unflattering dress I’ve seen in years. And she does not have the face or the bone structure to pull off that slicked back hair nonsense (which I think looks horrible on most people, but I digress). Holy crap heap!!
What is plus size though- xl is like a size 16, so is plus anything 16 and up? Depending on her height I think she can fit in clothes from regular stores. Compare her to that size 22 model tess or whatever…. very different look. Her and Lena are small boned and fleshy but I’m not surprised if they can fit into regular clothes though not having a lean or athletic look
+1
ALL of them look hideous. Blech.
It is a trifecta of NO.
I cannot handle Lena Dunham’s “sexy fashion face.” It’s so put on and ridiculous.
I have a friend who makes a similar face when posing for photos. I wonder if Lena does it for the same reason my friend does which is just self-consciousness and trying to find some way to make it work. I don’t think Lena likes getting her picture taken.
Her makeup looks excellent I must say–
Lena always reminds me of a 12 year old girl… everything she does is just SO very try-hard. I’m looking at these pictures and the look on her face and her need to lift her dress to show off her clunky shoes just strikes me as a child’s idea of what’s sexy, cool and/or edgy.
For someone who constantly preaches about how she has found the keys to a perfect life and has everything all figured out, Gwyneth Paltrow always looks so ROUGH to me. You can see the sun damage on her skin so clearly in these pics, her hair never looks healthy, and her body never actually looks in shape… she simply looks thin. I always am surprised that she’s only 44 because she looks at least 10 years older than that to me. Guess all that money she spends on ridiculous bullshit and all that restrictive eating does NOT do a body good.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I do not understand why Amy Schumer has a career. Also… you can REALLY tell she’s a size 6 here (this is sarcasm).
God, Amy Schumer really pisses me off.
I can’t with Gwenneth or Amy, but Lena’s makeup looks really good. Props to her makeup artist.
It’s one thing to complain to your friends or family, but to publicly trash an event, declare you will never return, and then show up again is pretty tacky, IMO.
I can’t stand any of these three, but right now with the commercials for her AWFUL looking movie airing all the time, Amy is top of this nope list.
🎵Oh, I’m a size four, size four, size four🎵
I would sooner take health and wellness tips from Catherine Deneuve . She looks fabulous and fulfilled, effortlessly. I’d also be inclined to listen to her tips about sex too. Gwyneth looks like a a Malibu Barbie left in the sun too long, vibes as desperate and she looks bitten and dry . And yeah, something’s going on with her face.
She’s trying too hard
They look nice, Amy less so I’m rarely a fan of that kind of off shoulder sweetheart but she did respect the theme it looks like. Lena looks very cool. Gwyneth glows and that is a cute shoulder on her dress. They all have some talent and good contributions to society in my opinion.not everything is good that they do of course, and I haven’t enjoyed all of Amy’s stuff but there are some skits/ maybe episodes of her show that are really genius and hilarious. Haven’t been able to get through her latest netflix. Like Dave chapelles (which was good) lots of weird sex gross things and I don’t find this particularly interesting
Honestly, I hate on Goop a lot, but I would not call Gwyneth a hypocrite here. This is basically a business dinner for her. And she dressed like she’s going to a black tie business event! I think her choice not to engage in the theme was purposeful. She’s trying to show that she is not into it. (Because she is in fact a jackass.)
MTE.
Goop might as well wearing a sign that says “Duress” on her forehead.
I mean those shoes alone are signs of a pi$$take.
KAISER you ARE on fire today what with the blake writeup and this one lololol
I actually thought Lena looked good and was on point with the theme for the gala which really surprised me!
The only accessory Lena is missing is a t.v. remote!
I like the length of Lady Goop’s dress.
Amy S. looks like she’s going to ComiCon.
Are Gwyneth and Madonna still friends? Maybe G was worried about bumping into M and that explains the facial expression, resembling suppressed terror? Or, maybe it’s just Botox-eye.
LOL no they aren’t friends at the moment unless something changed
I’d have that expression if Madge was my ex friend too
Best met gala post!!
Don’t care for her but I like the dress I know not the theme but it’s def something I would wear. I have always liked Calvin Klein but not for this event. Amy umm don’t like that dress.
Recently I read an article about how Anna Wintour is incredibly strict about who is and is not allowed to attend this event – apparently some of the people on the organizing committee (which costs $30,000 to join) weren’t given invitations.
I can’t but think that this is some humiliation play on the part of Anna ‘Nuclear’ Wintour in getting these celebrities to come back to the gala and in making them pay $$$ to attend.
I guess we can also question Wintour’s taste in her choices because there were a lost of people who had no business being there. If by “there” we mean a highly exclusive party of people who elevate fashion to the next level…. It bombed.
But that doesn’t explain the presence of Kristen Cavallari (sp?), and the absence of quite a few legitimately big name actors & fashionistas.
I like Gwyneth Paltrow. She’s a feminist woman kicking ass in business. So she had famous parents, had a leg up. I don’t resent it. She has missteps…who doesn’t? Time for us to stop tearing women down.
Her dress isn’t on theme. But seriously…most weren’t.
She is a faux feminist, she uses it as it benefits her brand that is, btw, filled with hollow empowerment too.
I like Goops dress. She looks healthy but a little over tanned and pulled near the eyes.
Amy looks like she is wearing a body bag
hahaha, Amy made me laugh out loud. Straight out of the bat cave + blue steel for the poor. 🙂
With my bi7tch hat firmly on, here goes:
Gwyneth is messing with her face. Awfully shiny and broad down the middle. And yet, we should all bow at her excellence because she is clearly so superior at living than the rest of us plebeians. Natural and healthy and organic, my ass. She still injects to offset the damage of all the cigarettes she smokes to avoid eating.
Amy and Lena bitch about conventional beauty and fashion not because they believe what they are saying, but because they both desperately want to be one of the beautiful and celebrated crowd and are not. They seem like the same woman to me, across two different decades. Let’s be shocking! Let’s be outrageous! Let’s speak our truth! Let’s pretend to be comfortable in our real, normal, average sized-bodies and outraged when people talk about our weight, when really we cannot stand how we look!
Authenticity, nonexistent.
In order to look high-fashion great it would be necessary to develop high fashion styles that suit non-model type figures. Developing such stuff with designers costs lots of money and lots of time and neither Schumer nor Dunham have lots of time nor money to waste on that.
When high fashion catered to “bigger” women they manage to make them look great.
Sadly those times are past.

I don’t follow any of them because they exhaust me. I used to be a Goop apologist, but it is long in the past.
I thought Goop complained about the event at the time she had a fall-out with Madonna.
As for the other two, as much as they want to play they are OK with their bodies, they probably felt like fish out of the water surrounded by thin models and celebrities. No wonder they really tried hard this time to stay on point with the theme.
Haha. It’s only Tuesday but for me this is the post of the week. They have to be called out on their bullshit more often. Surprisingly (not really) they are are annoying as hell and none of them would want to sit at the same table ever.
I think Lena looks amazing here. I actually thought she was Penelope Cruz!
I cannot stand Gwyneth. Never have, never will. I’m not a fan of schumer either, but I am trying to be open minded. Maybe Amy will change with time? Stop being so annoying? I actually like Lena’s dress. She looks a lot healthier. I’m routing for her too. These are younger woman in a male dominated industry and I just want them both to smarten up!
Same. I’m not really a fan of AS or LD but I feel that they’ve each gotten grief over their looks/weight, so I’m willing to cut them some slack. Goopy, though, has always been the tall, thin, rich girl who thinks she can tell everyone what to do. Can’t stand her.
So all these women bitched about this event and then attended again. Gwyneth’s skin looks nasty I don’t know if she doesn’t use sunscreen but she looks burnt. As for Amy she makes fun of the fashion but desperately wants to be liked by them. Lena is irritating and constantly opens her mouth and says stupid insensitive shit.
All of them are horrible people who suck at everything. They also look as absolutely terrible as they are, ESPECIALLY Lena the pedo.
On Paltrow:
It is boring. It is off-theme. It is too short. And the black heels don’t do that look any favour.
Problem with Paltrow is that she still dresses as if she were still 20. I do admit she still has the body of a 28-year-old. Those Calvin Klein designs looks amazing on a perky and slim and smooth 20-years-old model type. On 44-years-old Paltrow it simply looks as if she made no effort.
On Durham:
Just because you wear a big dress that won’t make you look any more tiny in comparison. Sometimes manipulation proportions doesn’t work. Especially when it is done as clumsy as you are trying.
You bore me.
@ Schumer
You own that dress! You certainly don’t believe in dancing to somebody else’s fiddle! Compliments!
I like Lena’s dress, but I still can’t stand her.
I’m not a fan of any of these women, but I honestly really liked Gwyneth (very pretty neckline) and Lena’s (rich colours and epic ruffles) dresses, and Amy’s dress had its interest factor too.
Everything Lena is wearing is awful, BUT I will say something nice: she looks about 500 times better with long bangs. Keep them, Lena.
Edit: I take it back, when the dress is down, it’s quite pretty, but it’s wearing her. And I agree with someone above who said she needs to stand up straight.
You know…I’ve found myself agreeing to, doing, or attending things I never said I would or bitched about, many times.
Im sure that event probably is a little fussy but, if you want to play the Hollywood game shut up, go and make connections. And Im sure thats exactly what they’re doing.
