Ooh, K Stew, so saucy! What a shame RPattz couldn’t be there — he’s off promoting Water for Elephants — because goodness knows, NO ONE loves a giant, teeming crockpot of celebrities, press and various hangers-on like the Pattz, right? Right? Hello? Oh, I guess you’re right.
So let’s focus on his honey:
I do love a halter top. I also love an art deco stair runner, which is what she seems to be wearing.
Yes! Fabulous! This is going to look tremendous going up my stone staircase in my 1920s Hollywood Spanish style mansion that I don’t own. I can just see myself, sitting under an umbrella outside, wearing giant sunglasses and a retro bikini and a big hat and drinking a mojito while Jon Hamm cleans the vintage-tiled pool. We’ll have a long discussion about the runner on the stairs in the living room and how it really ties the rest of the place together. “I just love the whole Old Hollywood High Class Bordello Look we have finally achieved in there, the living room of our shared fabulous home which is soon to appear in House Beautiful,” Jon Hamm will say. “Also, it’s really hot out, honey, so I’m going to take my shirt off now.” So, yes. I have decided I love this as long as it will agree to be part of the decor of my fictional FOR NOW home.

I’m liking her in red. And those shoes are killer.
I hate the front but I wish you had a picture of the back. It’s quite interesting. (In a good way!)
JON HAMM bla bla bla TOOK HIS SHIRT OFF bla bla bla. Oh, I’m sorry, what were you saying.
It seems strangely baggy in the torso. I’d like it if it fit better.
I love the shoes with it. It’s what Leighton & Jessica were trying to do but overshot the tie-in. Certain angles its good (not great) and I’m just so glad to see her a little more awake, which I’m sure is an optical illusion from actually seeing her wearing a color. I would love this dress if it was more panely & angular instead of so much fabric. It feels heavy like a drape.
She looks interesting, healthy and edgy in a good way. Just wish the whole thing wasn’t so overlong.
I like the idea of it — the shiny red criss-crossed with the black — but I think it needs a better fit and perhaps a repositioning of the design so it isn’t making her look wide.
Here are some pictures of the back. Way more interesting in my opinion. http://laineygossip.com/Kristen_Stewart_Met_Gala_2011_03may11.aspx?CatID=0&CelID=0
I don’t know if I like it or if I just like that it’s not some damn nude dress. The saturated color may be saturating my impression with a bias.
Yes, like the back quite a bit — and like the repetition of the dress pattern on the back of the shoes.
@Katie – thanks for the link. I like the back, which is something, because I normally don’t care for this type of thing.
Having said that, I like the whole business. How nice is it to see her in a COLOR???
So the front hides her figure. Geez Louise, you don’t ALWAYS have to be giving away the store.
Girl looks nice. Good job, KStew.
Oh, yeah, sorry – one last quibble – needs to be hemmed up slightly (when do I EVER say that???) so there’s no danger of tripping on the skirt.
In the first pic, her face looks amazing. Usually quite smug, this time, not at all. Good work!
[No being unkind to other posters in the comments, please! Including me -- it's off-topic. Please use our email address to call our work drivel. Thank you! Love, Jessica]
In one of the other shots of this that I saw, she was actually full-on smiling. With teeth and everything. If it takes a stair runner to make her finally say cheese, well, so be it.
Didn’t like it at first glance, but now I do. I especially like that from the side view, she is standing straight and tall, which makes her look good.
The back is awesome and THE SHOES!!!!!!!!!
I have a major girl crush on KStew so I’m not the most unbiased person
Meanie BoFeenie Zoe, play nice. If you don’t like you don’t have to read.
I rather liked the dress, just FYI though guys it’s ‘teeming.’
Thanks, I always goof that one up.
And thanks for the shot of the back — I couldn’t find one in our sub!
The pattern plus cut plus neckline makes her look even flatter than usual. This needs hemming to show off those shoes
I am with LindaD and Bella. In the dozen photos I’ve seen, in two she is standing straight up and looking fierce. This makes me think that she loves the dress and is comfortable in it; and therefore, I say she looks terrific. Nice to see her look like she doesn’t want to crawl out from under her own skin.
i really like this. especially on her.. but damn she looks grown now. i almost didnt recognize her
I love this dress on her! I think this young lady is finally coming into her own – no more slouching, smirking, or unwashed hair. It’s so refreshing to see her finally grow up under the glare of the cameras! Well played, KStew!
I think she looks delish. I covet the shoes.
She looks positively sophisticated and dare I say it, sexy! Her makeup is immaculate and I covet those shoes desperately. I never thought I’d write Kristen Stewart and “sexy” in the same sentence but alas, there it is. She’s all grown up now.
I am happy to see her looking so much better and, for once, like she got dressed on purpose in front of a mirror with the light on.
But the story was much more charming than the photograph. I seriously love you guys!
I would be much happier if it fit her a little better around the waist and if she’d remove that damn bitchface for once in her life.
It’s too long and the splits don’t make it look any less brickish. The shoes are ghastly. The fabric is gorgeous.
Want those shoes. I’d like to see a tighter fit at the waist, but the slouchiness works for her somehow. TBH I’m calling this look a win for Kstew just because she’s standing tall and looks so confident. She looks like a proper movie-star.
Better mix up another batch of those mojitos; I am TOTALLY COMING OVER. <3
It looks cheaply made – the pattern isn’t matching up properly on the side. Boo.
I actually think it’s fine, but THOSE EXACT CIRCUMSTANCES would make anything better.
I love it. The colour is good, she’s standing up straight, it brings a bit of drama, and it’s one of the only dresses of the night which picked up the theme, for me – that slightly dangerous, heavily historical mood of which McQueen was the master.
I would love this dress, but the neckline feels like a copout. It either needs to come down and maybe show a hint of cleavage (I’m not asking a lot), or it needs to be a dramatic, high, almost-turtleneck.
Other than that, she looks good.
I wish it fit her just a teensy bit better, but overall I think she looks fantastic, and she also looks like she likes what she’s wearing, which helps a lot.
If only we had an app that could put this on SWINTON. Now she would look great in it.
It’s a little odd, but it suits her really well. Loving the hair too!
She looks like an optical illusion.
It makes my eyeballs hurt.
She looks like a 60s couch.
I really don’t understand the big deal over this kid. The outfit is hideous. She never smiles. The hair is beyond unbecoming. It’s like she was on her way out the door and then she decided to throw her hair back. I’m so over her.
I love it. Everything fits together: shoes, dress, bracelets, makeup, hair. Really, the dress is a stand out and Kristen is wearing it very well.
Well played, Kristen.
Love the shoes, but would it kill the girl to smile? Once in a while, maybe?
I love the back view but the upholstery fabric just seems way too heavy. In a lighter material (and an inch or two shorter) I think this could be really pretty.
Just saw the pictures showing the back of the dress and the back of the shoes. Wow.
Well Played Kristen and Proenza Schouler. For my money, she was the best dressed there.
I like her hair and makeup, and the color is good. But I’m not a fan of the shape at all. It makes her look like a rolled up rug with arms and a head.
The only way I would like this is if it ensured that Jon Hamm was taking off his shirt in my presence. On KStew as a dress at the Met Ball? Not so much. It looks baggy and ill-fitting.
I’m sorry, but it reminds me of the flooring in Bowser’s Castle in MarioKart. So close, KStew…
Does not look like a stair runner … is identical to hangings in the Chinese Buffet down the street …
Not my all time fave, but I love that she’s unafraid to try out different options. Also loved the shots of her with the PS designers, who were her “dates” to the Gala. I feel like she does a great job interpreting their line-youth, edgy, classy with bite-and obvs they do too…since they custom made this for her. That being said, darts under the bustline would have done a world of good. All in all, a win.
(You know, Fug gals, I’m finally getting used to the new format, and I think I like it! That’s a lot coming from an old Luddite like myself.)
The back was really neat on this one. At first I wasn’t sure, but then I decided I really liked it. It manages to be different and striking without being a lace toga or having feathers all over it.
this is pretty cool. she rocks red and black so well and those shoes….drool!!
my ONLY critique is that it seems like its made of uplostery fabric. the draping in the front looks really heavy. i wish it was lighter looking.
Give the girl a break–she’s smiling in a bunch of other pictures from that night, and her makeup was killer (I also loved the back of this dress, which these pictures don’t show). I agree with those who thought the fit could have been better (couldn’t the Proenza Schouler boys have checked for that, since they showed up with her??), and the fabric does tend toward drapery. Love the color on her, and love the concept.
Whatever happened to hemming a garment, in this case a dress, so that the bottom of it isn’t dragging the ground? How much effort does it take to make this dress short enough so that her fabulous heels aren’t hidden under it and only visible through the rather large slits on the side of the dress? Even with the stilettos it’s still dragging … were they expecting a female version of Yao Ming to be wearing this??? And where’s the form to it? KStew has a great little petite figure – this does nothing to highlight that …
