Met Gala 2019: And The Award For “Worst Look” Goes To…
Loved this year’s theme and picking the TOP 10 MOST FABULOUS is easy. But try coming up with a tight list of the most egregious looks – it’s much harder.
In part, because everyone brought their A-game and with a theme like “Camp,” it’s more challenging to figure out the intent of each get-up. For example, I did not know that Natasha Lyonne (who I thought was just wearing a hideous outfit) was channeling Klaus Nomi.
But I will say, in working on who belongs on which list, I am clearly not a fan of Vegas showgirl looks, mullet dresses (i.e. short in-front, long in back), that whole jacket with no pants thing that Dapper Dan is into. And, most importantly, gold really turns me off (I had at least 5 women decked out in gold who I whittled down to one – sorry Julianne Moore, you’re the token gold wearer).
Scroll down to see my top 10 “Not Making The Grade” looks – hard to pick who would be #1 – but have to give Kim K top honors, in a tie with Amber Valletta.
#1: Kim Kardashian in Thierry Mugler
#1 tie: Amber Valletta in ????
Nicki Minaj in Prabal Gurung
Natasha Lyonne in Jean Paul Gaultier – I’ve been informed by my super-smart friend, Nick Belperio, that she is channeling Klaus Nomi. My bad.
