Let’s look at all the people who wore black or white or black AND white. (Now I want a cookie.) There were A LOT of them.

Dude, a LOT happened this weekend. And the Met Ball is TONIGHT. Basically, we’re in a race against time, you guys. Strap in — for all I know, Nicolas Cage might show up with his head on fire (he won’t).
When Carey was cast as Daisy in The Great Gatsby, it seemed perfect. There is something about her that really lends itself to this role, at least conceptually (we’ll see when it comes out), and the 1920s garb seemed like a great match to her cherubic face. Which is why, for me, this Vogue cover is a discordant disappointment. And further, does it strike anyone else as unimaginative — basically, a glorified poster for the movie? We’re going to see PLENTY of Carey Mulligan in period costume when the movie comes out; wouldn’t it be cool to see her another way, especially if you don’t know much about her? Or even to see Carey Mulligan, period, and not Daisy Buchanan? I understand it as a publicity push, I guess — that movie is the big thing that’s going on with her right now — but I’m not sure I concur with it from an editorial/art direction point of view. Zzz, basically.
Let us discuss — and also, pat yourself on the back if you predicted this in our Vogue Cover Predictions post. Jessica got it right. I will buy her a cocktail for you.

I was wondering why Gwyneth skipped out on the Iron Man 3 shenanigans happening in London. I guess when a jeweler asks you to come hang out at its big ball, you call the studio and tell it you don’t want to see the movie again right now anyway and that you’ll make it up to them with weird outfits at the U.S. premieres.

I am glad that Carey Mulligan is out and about again. She’s one of those actresses whose outfits I don’t always love, but who always at least is INTERESTING. I would take Interesting Terrible over Bandage Dress Predictable any day of the year. I am also sincerely looking forward to complaining about the thought process behind making The Great Gatbsy in 3D (I mean, HONESTLY. WHAT NEXT) for at least the next several months, so….you know. Prepare yourself for that. Sorry, Carey. It’s not your fault, but it’s also INSANE.
I don’t know that this needs the same kind of loin girding:
It’s festive? She’s at a charity event for Alzheimer’s Disease, so it’s also appropriately demure. But is it too old? A little dated? Not quite exactly right? I don’t know. I haven’t had my coffee yet.
Cannes Fugs and Fabs: Carey Mulligan
The Cannes opening ceremony was basically an excuse for YET ANOTHER Gatsby premiere. I feel like a toddler up in here: “Are we THERE YET?”
