Met Ball Fug Carpet: Bee Shaffer

Bee Shaffer seems like a very lovely and low-key young woman despite her famous parent, which is why I think this dress is a shame:

For one thing — despite the pretty color — this gown looks like one of those old Victoria’s Secret Second-Skin Satin bras sewn to a corset and lazily finished with ribbon and a see-through train.

For another, it’s a tad reminiscent of this Emmy Rossum dress. They’re not by the same designer, and I’m not alleging anything; merely suggesting that when you are the daughter of Anna Wintour, fashion’s most powerful woman, you probably deserve an outfit for the Met Ball that doesn’t remind people of something totally meh that a New York-based starlet wore two months ago — not to mention that you deserve something that doesn’t look like undergarments wrapped in tissue. And if you’re too nice to storm around throwing a diva strop and screaming, “Don’t you know who I AM?!?!?” in an incredulous voice until someone coughs up a better option… well, technically, you’re to be applauded, because it means you’re really cool and level-headed. But maybe Bee could’ve delegated that hissy to her mother. I’m sure A-Dubs would’ve had a LOT of fun with it.
