This year’s Met Ball Gala may go down in history as one of the strangest Red Carpet events ever. There was confusion and chaos, which in hindsight makes perfect sense, since this year’s fashion exhibition at the Met is Punk: from Chaos to Couture.
Personally, I thought it was delightfully entertaining !
Like in this photo, where Jennifer Lawrence is petting Sarah Jessica Parker’s astounding Philip Treacy mohawk headpiece.
That thing was fantastic…
Sarah Jessica Parker was fantastic from head to toe… she wore a Giles Deacon gown and custom plaid Christian Louboutin boots.
Sarah was like, “Go big or go home.” I’ll bet she had more fun than anyone there.
The stars seemed a little confused by the whole punk thing and lots of them just pretty much ignored it and turned up in glamorous ball gowns that were just not capable of making a splash at this event.
But others, like Miley Cyrus, managed to get it right. She wore a Marc Jacobs fishnet dress and gets my vote for best punk hair.
For best punk makeup, I gotta go with Ginnifer Goodwin…
and January Jones. Hers is sorta creepy, in a Boy George kinda way, but this one’s never afraid to take risks.
I loved the people who celebrated punk and seeing how they interpreted the look.
Like designer Zandra Rhodes…
My vote for best punk couple goes to Sienna Miller, in a fab studded jacket and headband from Burberry and her boyfriend Tom Sturridge.
Model Cara Delevinge also wore Burberry – it makes sense that a British brand would be able to nail this, so to speak. In case you didn’t know, punk music originated in England in the 70′s before it jumped across the pond and landed in New York.
And then there was Madonna. How I love this woman.
She sorta took everyone to school in her Givenchy jacket, ripped tights, thigh-highs-no-pants, studs and chains look.
The thing about punk is it’s an attitude. An anti-establishment, I-don’t-care -what-you-think, spiked-up, safety-pinned rebellion.
So it almost doesn’t matter what she wears, Kristen Stewart is Hollywood’s punk. She’s always been confounded by, rebelled against and totally unimpressed with the whole Hollywood thing.
Plus, she’s got the scowl down.
Oh, Kristen, you’re so naughty.
OK, just 2 more pics I gotta show ya because one is just horrifyingly awful…
wait for it…
wait for it…
Good gawd, it’s Kim Kardashian ,wearing some short of bad lawn chair fabric from the 70′s. Also, attempting the Angelina Jolie leg trick, while she’s pregnant.
And doesn’t Kanye look overjoyed ?
No, he does not.
This is what overjoyed looks like…
Giselle, I’d just like to thank you for acting like a total doofus and not giving a crap about what anybody thinks.
That’s punk.
