10 Fashion Feats and Fails at the Met Costume Institute Gala

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

The Metropolitan Museum of Art‘s annual Costume Institute Gala is tirelessly referred to as the Oscars of fashion and it certainly ranks as the industry’s glitziest and most glamorous night.  But unlike the Oscars red carpet, where actresses willfully play it safe for fear of a career-defining performance on the worst dressed list, at the Met Gala the balls are to the haute couture wall. This is Fashion with a capital effin’ F. Sometimes the results are truly stunning and other times they’re…how can I put this gently…god-awful. Let’s take a look back at the Met Gala’s greatest hits and misses.

- Tyra Banks addressed the recent mass firing on America’s Next Top Model saying that they’ve “reached a point where we feel that the show just needs a new boost.” Yeah, and that boost was called André Leon Talley, after which Top Model should’ve smized its last smize and hunched into obscurity. [The Cut]

- Now that motherhood has her feeling “more beautiful than…ever,” People has acknowledged Beyoncé’s newfound hubris by naming her the “World’s Most Beautiful Woman.” It also didn’t hurt that she’s back to her pre-baby weight. I guess taking that cushion out from under her Dereon was a laborious process. #Kidding #NotReally [People]

Oprah will in turn have dibs on Demi’s first post-rehab interview/soul. [Page Six]

- You know who knows how to properly celebrate 420? Rihanna. Aside from rolling a blunt on a bald man’s head — while in Chanel no less — she also puffs with the mightiest lungs in America, if not the world, Snoop Dogg himself. No wonder she ran out of fucks to give…she never had any to begin with. [Buzzfeed]
