Met Ball Fug Carpet: Lake Bell and Rihanna

Riddle me this: On a night when the theme was models-as-muses, why did Lake Bell show up looking like Charlie Chaplin?

Our pet theory is that she wanted to get attention. Because she’s Lake Bell, and outside of the blogging world, I don’t think anyone cares who she is.

But if you listen very closely, you might hear an ungodly shrieking sound carrying on the wind. That noise is coming from Lake Bell’s soul, anguished because it just checked in her purse and it turns out all of Lake’s thunder got pick-pocketed by Rihanna:

To quote the esteemed Dorothy Zbornak, and the significantly less esteemed Joey Lawrence, “WHOA.” Although I guess I should not hate, but congratulate: It’s very brave of Rihanna to depart from her current musical path in order to start an all-female Duran Duran cover band. She might even have a willing comrade in Lake Bell, assuming she doesn’t spend the whole night in the ladies’ room sobbing and trying to light her hat on fire.
