Fashion disasters at the MET Gala?? And a Kylie and Madonna reunion, why not??

I'm not a fashion expert, but this morning I saw some pictures of the MET Gala 2013, a yearly event that takes place obviously on  The Metropolitan's Museum and gathers the creme of the creme of Hollywood. And of course, this being a fashion event, you would think people would be more aware of what they dress because this is THE event for it. Not even The Oscars had this exposure regarding fashion, but judging from the pics I've seen, so many people definitely missed the mark, dropped the ball or didn't read the memo, whatever analogy works best for you.

Apparently, that grim face was part of the Kristin Stewart attire.

The theme of the night was Punk: Chaos to Couture, because there has to be a theme in these things. And obviously, punk was the attitude all the attendants needed to demonstrate through their clothes and all. Some of them got the look right, and definitely showed the fashionista that lies within them.

Emma Watson and Miranda Kerr, being cute and fierce.

Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Watson, Anne Hathaway & Taylor Swift

Kylie Minogue, being Kylie Minogue. That is, regal.

What these artists show was a very good sense of simplicity, a thing not too many of the Hollywood stars are known for. And obviously, it worked. Those gals looked amazing and although some of them (like Jennifer Lawrence) were not as punk as they should, they definitely hit the mark and passed the fashion test.

Others? Not so much.

Kim Kardashian:

Seriously, this woman knows no limits. Whoever that said pregnant woman can't be fashionistas, obviously got inspired by this woman. I mean, not nitpicking her weight (it is obvious that a pregnant woman can be that big), but using a dress that accentuates you weight is just plain wrong. It looked like a table cloth, and a cheap one.

...or a sofa. With an integrated cushion

She knows that there's a thousand ways a pregnant woman can deliver on the red carpet, but she seems to think nobody will notice this mess of a dress. Or maybe she knows and she's teasing us. Either way, this is not the look of an entepreneur and a 'celebrity' (not sure how to call her), so this will go into history as an utterly failure. Again, it's not her body weight, it's the way she didn't accept it as an aside from being pregnant.

Nicki Minaj

Obviously, Ms. Minaj is particularly known for her fashion style, bordering into the ridiculousness. So a MET Gala inspired in punk could seem like a perfect setting for a bold statement on her part. Instead, she definitely missed the mark by being way too tame by her own standards, let alone the punk standards. Afro looked way out of tune, and definitely this attire didn't look well on her. Maybe it's the waistline. She looked so out of place. And I hope one day women understand that those tatoos don't look so well on dresses (looking at you, Rihanna).

Beyoncé

Beyoncé is Beyoncé, a force of nature to be reckoned with. And yet, this is so dissapointing. Aside from the fact that this is not punk at all (being punk an attitude more than a dress), it seemed a little bit excessive from her. And God, I'm not sure if those dark hair roots are on trend now, but they look so awful. She can do better than this.

Madonna

I really, really love Madonna. Why wouldn't I? But this? Let's face it: she is no longer a thirty something to rock these outfits, and although she looks fit and glam, this is way too much for her to handle nowadays. For a woman with a punk and fuck you attitude, this comes cheap and underwhelming. And the bob, so much Edna Mode resembling, was also something so wacky. But then, who can assure this is what Madge intended for it to be? If that's what she was all about, well, mission accomplished.

Ashley Olsen

Now, entering the realms of the ludicrous. Like a moth to a flame.... This has written 'absurd' all over the place. This posture tries to make sense for this dress, but God it's awful. I know she's rich and all, and this is vintage and all, but seriosly, can someone advice these young starlets regarding haute couture, please? Won't somebody think of the children??

Of course there were plenty of dreadful dresses, but these are the ones that really drive me to write on this subject. I'm not usually a savvy fashionista (I don't consider my style fashion as a 'style', per se) but I know what looks good and bad on myself and others.

A corollary for this Gala: if Lena Dunham somehow manages to look better than you, consider it a big fail on your personal style.

I wonder if she can manage those high heels.

And get this consolation prize: Madonna and Kylie Minogue, together in this gala. Pop royalty on the same roof! Amazing, isn't it? The Queen and The Princess of Pop. Besides the fact that Madonna's boy toy photobombed the pic blocking Kylie, this is pure bliss right here.

Seriously, whats-his-name. You're blocking a historical moment. Shit head.
