Met Costume Gala Photos

Ahhh yes, the Met Costume Gala…it’s known to be the Oscars of fashion. Celebs traipse a red carpet simply to be seen in their fiercest garb.

Of course this is the chance to bust out whatever trend you are trying to set. However, some failed miserably. Madonna and her constant need to be in the limelight was ridiculous. Instead of being the old trend setting Madge, she looked desperate for attention. Oh how the mighty fall. Rihanna also showed up in a Dolce and Gabbana suit that looked like it came from a bad 80’ rendition of “Cabaret.” I keep looking for Duckie to pop out with a keytar.

Kristen Dunst sober up long enough to present herself at the event as well. I really wish this girl would wear some form of a bra. I like the dress, but the saggy boobs issue is so distracting. She’s going to be tuck those puppies into her socks one day. It wasn’t all disasters. Anne Hathaway looked ravishing. The Olsen twins both looked on their game for once. Ashley wore a Christian Lacroix plunging cowl back dress while her sister, Mary Kate, wore a silver and grey Lacroix creation.

Michelle Obama’s Prague Fashion Redemption

So I have to address the Michelle Obama sweater-gate that took place a few days ago. Several of you loved her argyle/sequins combo while others, like myself, hated it and found it an odd choice to wear to meet the royalty and fellow country running comrades. I hold to that opinion. However, I am First Lady Obama fan so….

I post this in a peace offering. The jet-set First Lady flew to Prague after making a stop in France to visit Carla Bruni. During the flight to her next destination, Michelle busted out a body hugging black dress and black cropped cardigan that boasted three quarter sleeves.

Redemption at it’s finest. It was simple and appropriate travel wear. Obama also sported her favorite kitten heels. Upgrade. It was a bit different for her. She isn’t afraid of color, which I do (believe it or not) adore about her, but this flight friendly style was demure and (forgive me if conservatives) sexy.

Project Runway Returns!

Let choirs of angels rejoice! The fashion heavens have parted the sea of legal battles and a ray of sun hath risen “Project Runway.” Birds are singing in jubilation, children are parading in the streets singing of the return of Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum.

Bravo and Lifetime have been battling over reality hit, “Project Runway.” Finally, all regards to the fate of the show have been legally settled and will return to tv. People has confirmed the final season, which has already been shot with a finale filmed at New York Fashion Week last month, will make it air this summer.

Sadly, the show will not return to it’s original home. Lifetime won the rights and everything will move from New York to Los Angeles. The reigning judges panel will remain with Heidi Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. Tim will also be there to mentor and guide the rising designers. (Yay for me. I can stalk Tim Gunn better this way. Er…I mean worship from afar.)

The show has gathered a celebrity following. Last season we were treated to a few guest judges that ranged from L.L. Cool J to Natalie Portman. Jennifer Lopez was due to be a final judge, but backed out last minute because she stubbed her toe…had the trots or something ridiculous like that. Season 6 will feature Christina Aguilera, Eva Longoria Parker and Rebecca Romijn. (I am hoping Eva is also stricken with a wicked toe stubbing and will be forced to be replaced.)

Bravo is replacing their fashion reality jewel with another style challenging show. The creative title for the replace is called, “The Fashion Show.” This sounds like an disaster waiting to happen. Isaac Mizrahi, who owes me $39.95 for some bed sheets that lasted 2 months, is joining forces with Kelly Rowland. I can just picture Kelly trying to work it like Heidi and treated the eliminated guest to her rendition of ’N Sync’s “Bye, Bye, Bye” while Isaac dances in the background.
