We’ve been covering past Met Gala’s for over a week and the fun never get’s old (well the baggy suits and shiny dresses of the aughts have gotten moldy they are so old but in general the fun never stops) so … Continue reading →
I like the after parties because: the big stars sometimes switch into dresses that are even better and more fun than what they wore earlier in the evening and a bunch of weird randos show up. This is not an … Continue reading →
I am so excited to get back into awards season AKA drooling over pretty clothes worn by the Maras and making fun of fug shit. It is my favorite pastime. I also just bought a new laptop to hopefully help make my posting more frequent.
While no Maras appeared, last night’s VMAs were the expected series of tweetable moments (many of them gif-ed here) and fascinating performances. Usually I don’t add models to these recaps because it’s not fair to all the artists who are not professional clothes-hangers, but most of them chose poorly, so they were included.
Normally I would ding Emily Ratajkowski for the boots, but her femme fatale look is very rock and roll.
I love this dress, hate the boots. I also have no clue who she is. -K [Gone Girl and that movie where Zac Efron is the DJ. I feel I have to note these things so I can remember. -M]
I’m so glad Kat Graham actually picked something to get her into this category. Kat here is always a delight on the red carpet. Even though this dress is awful, she makes me like it by oozing charm. This is a skill even most models haven’t learned.
I only know who Kat Graham is because of Go Fug Yourself, Fug Madness. -K
Giving Kat competition in her own category is “internet personality” Baddie Winkle. I would not haven chosen those shoes but damn if she doesn’t rock the crap out of them.
I am a little disappointed in my girl Demi Lovato’s obvious dress choice, but her hair and makeup are fierce. Unfortunately, those shoes make her legs actually look stumpier. She should consult Tay-Tay next time (are they even friends? I have no idea).
They should be friends. I feel like Demi might be “too real” for Tay-Tay. -K
It seems like FKA Twigs thinks about her clothes as part of a larger, artistic picture, and if you have to go mostly sheer, which I am actually not a fan of here, at least have a red lip and great hair like FKA.
This is my favorite naked dress. I love her and her weird goth queen dance music. -K
Something about Justin Beiber‘s outfit is off to me–I like the pieces separately, but together there’s a disconnect. Probably because his hair looks like a cross between Kate Gosselin and mine when I use my $12 flat iron. I also think his jacket should be a little more broken in.
What the fuck is up with his hair. It’s so gross I think I appreciate Harry what-whats-his-name from One Direction’s more. -K
I would like Gigi Hadad’s 90s supermodel getup better on someone who can actually sell it. She does not know how to dress for her personality and style. Her face has no expression.
I want to like Jeannie Mai’s look, because her dress is so unusual, but it looks like a cheap She-Ra costume up close (gold belt + stomach cut out). The ombre hair is actually styled well.
