13Let’s get real. This woman once attended the Grammys dressed as a PSYCHOTIC NUN and dragged along a faux-Pope as her accessory:
Nicki, I don’t know who told you to tone it down for this event. Maybe it was Anna Wintour! Maybe it was Mariah Carey. Maybe it was a new stylist who recently hit her head and didn’t realize where she was or to whom she was speaking. Whoever it was, to paraphrase the words of Brenda Walsh, NEVER SPEAK TO THEM AGAIN.

25I feel like a variety of people are looking at Sienna Miller here today and saying to themselves, “oh. That was easy.”
Because the thing is, this IS easy. It’s a great but EXTREMELY STANDARD and unadorned white gown, and she casually threw a(n amazing) studded leather jacket over it and screwed around with her hair a bit. The end. I mean, is anyone going to wake up in the middle of the night and whisper to themselves, “I’ll never forget you, Sienna Miller’s Punk Met Gala Outfit?” Probably not. But nor is anyone going to wake up screaming in the middle of the night “OH GOD SIENNA MILLER’S MET GALA OUTFIT THIS IS WHAT BURNING TASTES LIKE.” She just looks kind of awesome, casually, and also kind of understated, which is a refreshing change for a woman who once wore a bathing suit to lunch and used to tie her own shoes to her pants like they were mittens she was afraid she might lose in a snowbank. I love a refreshing change now and then.

Fug or Fab: Anne Hathaway
So, I really, really was not sold on Anne’s blonde hair at the Met Ball. I will be the first to say that I ALSO didn’t think her features were optimized with the short hair, and then she had that awesome phase where she grew it out super stylishly and I fell in love with it and think she should keep it that way forever. So maybe I will come around on the blonde, too.
Having said THAT, I am not there yet — I think it’s way too brassy for her features, and I don’t like the phase that the short style is in right now (I felt that way when it was still brown, too), so that might be affecting my feelings too. Again, I fully realize I may eat those words in like two weeks when she does something fabulous to it and suddenly I want her to be a gilded lily forever, but fortunately, I enjoy eating, so that’s fine.
As for the dress, I don’t mind the idea of the shape and volume here, but I think in execution it’s making her look weirdly droopy. So basically, the last two times she’s worn baby pink, it’s caused boobular scrutiny that she’d probably rather have avoided. Please let’s not go for the charm with a third try.
