LADY MARY. Your side-boob is showing.

I love that the BAFTAs host a tea party, but again… does it HAVE to be right before the Golden Globes? I guess it’s convenient but you know all these people would rather be doing yoga in their hotel rooms and consuming only juice.

Twitter blew up about the shoulders on this dress making it look like Michelle Dockery is constantly shrugging.
And they DO look a tiny bit like she has wee football helmets on her shoulders. But strangely, I don’t dislike them — in fact, for whatever reason, I’m more distracted by the visible corseting, and whether I think it fights the elegance of the dress. Lady Mary has more pressing problems; she doesn’t need a giant argument happening on her groin.

It’s unfathomable to me that some designer over here hasn’t declared Lady Mary Crawley to be his muse, and then thrown her the kind of fabulous gowns that will make her as unforgettable on the red carpet as she is headstrong and well-eyebrowed on Downton Abbey. I know this is Louis Vuitton, and so therefore hardly some cheap old thing she rented from a costume shop, but… it might as well be, no? Somebody please guide her to people who will love her above all others. If Matthew Crawley’s broken heir-stick can be fixed, then so can this.

Met Ball Well Playeds and Hmms and Zzzs: More Celebs Who Look Perfectly Fine, Mostly, But Also Seriously Could Be Absolutely Anywhere Else
So, there is acreage between “catering to your dramatic whims” and “looking like a crazypants naked and/or upholstered crackpot,” and the whole point of the Met Ball is the former, even if you fall on your face doing it (which leads to the latter, and outfits like that are exactly why Anna’s annual gala is such a hilarious good time and must never, ever change, even when we get capsy over people’s insane choices). Don’t we think it’s about time, say, Renee Zellweger had some semblance of a dramatic whim again? She is operating at a severe dramatic whimsy deficit. Her last one was Kenny Chesney, I think, and although that didn’t turn out so well for her, it was a VERY exciting time for all of us looky-loos. ALWAYS THINK OF THE LOOKY-LOOS. If we’re stuck with a stupid term like that to describe what we’re doing, then at least please make sure we’re having fun doing it.
