Sarah Pidgeon wore one of my favorite looks from this year’s Met Gala. This is Loewe, and she was the only high-profile woman wearing the label at this year’s gala. What a serve for both Sarah and Loewe!! She was the one of the few women who really treated her body as a sculpture as an interpretation of the “Art Is Fashion” theme. There must be enormous pressure for Sarah to dress more like Carolyn Bessette Kennedy right now and I appreciate that she’s just… refusing to do that. She wore some CBK-coded looks for Love Story’s promotion, but Sarah quickly ditched that and embraced what she liked.
Speaking of Love Story, Paul Anthony Kelly was in attendance and he looked incredible!!
Ben Stiller chose not to go to the Knicks game, but he made his wife Christine wear Knicks blue, a really pretty Bibhu Mohapatra gown.
Tate McRae in Ludovic de Saint Sernin. The dress is pretty, but it’s all sort of golden blah.
Update by CB: Isla Johntson was also wearing Loewe. She’s a 19-year-old British actress and is slated to star in Baz Luhrmann’s Joan of Arc.

I actually hated this dress and thought it was one of the worst and the most ill-fitting. The colour drained her. Sorry, Kaiser! However, she has a lovely face. I know the attention is on the outfits, but I’m noticing and concentrating on faces/make up/attitude and grace far more this year. Loewe is something I buy. Not this end of their stuff! I go to them for basics and even household. It’s good quality and sophisticated but, much like The Row, it tends to be quiet and less showy. I wouldn’t have gone to them for a knock out dress.
It is very hard for pale blondes to pull off yellow. I am that and I look like death in yellow.
Hi Sue. Yep, agree. I don’t know why she chose it. I am olive skinned, very dark eyes/hair. I look approaching dreadful in yellow and know that pale blondes have it even harder. It is such a difficult colour to get right. Almost equal worst is pale grey next to the face. Which is why I am continuing to colour my hair and not go grey.
I always feel strange disagreeing with Kaiser, but I hate that dress too.
Agreed. This is so basic.
Sparrow, agree.
Sorry, I hated it. It’s very droopy, a boring, boring waistline that chops her in half, and the color is dreadful on her skin. I would put her among worst dressed.
Sorry but I think her look was so awful, one of the worst of the night
it looks like the trends for this big over the top conceptual dresses has faded. It just looks like famous people prom night to me. I used to love to see the dresses. The Met Gala has lost all its luster.
I hated Sarah Pidgeon’s look. Something is off with the bust, I think the fit is whack, and I’m not sure about the color.
I think Tate looks gorgeous in a safe gown.
Christine Taylor — did this woman just decide to stop aging? She looks incredible. I love seeing her!!!
They showed this dress from the back and it didn’t look right. Two pieces were overlapping in a weird way. It’s striking but not flattering.
Oh I did not like this dress at all, the colour attributed to that
Tate McRae‘s dress looks like it’s from Lulu’s. WTH?
