This Marchesa is the one that a little girl sitting next to us at Fashion Week SQUEALED over during the show. And in fact, when we wrote up that show, I said ,”I would love for someone to wear this to an awards show, just… to DO it.” So THANK YOU, Bingbing. You have fulfilled a lot of people’s inner-girl dreams.

It happens ever year: Nominees and guests change their outfits for the post-parties so that their trains don’t get trampled, and we don’t get the pictures before bedtime. Maybe I should just start writing through the night. Can you imagine how much MORE delirious our posts would be? We’d have the Royal Wedding times fifty. I’d try it if that didn’t sound perilous.

I did NOT like this when I first saw it on the telecast last night, but it (still) photographs amazingly and now I might love it.

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.
