Met Ball '10: Katy Perry

I don't mind that she decided to wear a dress that had LED lights in it. Fine, I lie, I actually applaud it. But it's everything else about the dress that I don't like. It just looks like a bunch of melted marshmallows stuck together. And such an amount of them is enough to make anyone sick. Even multicoloured lights can't save that.
Going back to the lights, they're a fantastically eccentric choice. Which reminds me of this time a couple of years ago when I was walking down the street with some friends from school and we were commenting on the clothes that were displayed on a shop window. The word 'eccentric' came up which led to an argument over the word's meaning, or rather, the connotation. They were convinced that it was a negative term (you know, a politer way to say 'weird' or 'insane') while I completely disagreed.
But now that I think of it, I suppose that's just one way of dividing people into two. There are those who hope they'll never ever be called eccentric and then there are those who think that having lights in their dress is a pretty decent idea. I’m quite proud to put myself in the latter category. I think the best way to end this post is to write down this quotation that a read yesterday and found utterly brilliant: "Remember that always dressing in understated good taste is the same as playing dead." (Susan Catherine)

Met Ball '10: Alexa Chung

I like Alexa. And I like Phillip Lim (who designed her outfit). And I like the idea of going in the masculine direction when everyone else is wearing predictably similar dresses. And I like it when ribbon is worn as a tie.
But there is just something wrong with this outfit. I’m guessing the trousers. And/or the braces. I’m not a big fan of the shoes either. But good effort.

Met Ball '10: Blake Lively

Blake Lively keeps living up to the nickname the Fug Girls gave her: Boobs Legsly. It’s starting to get a bit old, though. We know you have a great body. Now put some clothes on.

Met Ball '10: January Jones

The dress is interesting and quite lovely, but I wish she’d have left the gloves home. And the blue eye makeup is just all kinds of wrong with this look. Pictures from justjared.buzznet.com

Met Ball '10: Sienna Miller and Jude Law

I’m glad that Sienna Miller and Jude Law are back together, I always liked them as a couple. Yes, they’re both homewrecking cheaters, but they’re so pretty… Also, in a way that makes them a great match. And the outfits are simple yet elegant.

Met Ball '10: Chloë Sevigny

Chloë Sevigny looks a bit underdressed, but the dress is cute and quirky and I’d actually love to own it. To wear on a much less formal occasion, though.

Met Ball '10: Diane Kruger

The Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is probably my favourite red carpet event because that’s when we tend to see the craziest outfits. This year the costumes were on the whole disappointingly nice and simple, so let’s get the boring ones out of the way first: Diane Kruger wore the most boring dress of the evening. And possibly ever. Surely the only way to ever wear a dress like that is to pour a huge amount of jewellery on it? Right now it's just... nothing.

Golden Globes '10: Vincent Kartheiser

If you need a palate cleanser after all these wonderful dresses just check out Vincent Kartheiser’s hair. AAAAARGHH! (Here's a closeup if for some reason you want to do it to yourself.)
I was listening to Matthew Weiner’s speech and thinking I should really start watching Mad Men again because that’s what intellectuals do, and then I suddenly caught a glimpse of it.
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO VINCENT KARTHEISER'S HAIR?! And more importantly, WHYYY?! A lot of people were slagging off Colin Farrell’s hair on the night, but this really puts it into proportion, doesn’t it?
I’ll leave you with pictures of what he looks like looks on the show. About 13 years old, sure, but so much prettier.

Golden Globes '10: Christina Hendricks

Holy fuck. Yep, it’s really happening. Beautiful dress, hair and makeup, although frankly, who actually noticed?

Golden Globes '10: Lauren Graham

I just can’t help it. It’s cruel and there really is no reason for it, but this outfit brings this Estonian saying to mind: “mida vanem eit, seda roosam kleit” [the older the hag, the pinker the rag]. I’m sorry. She isn’t even old. But the colour or the fabric or something… This look is just wrong, somehow.

Golden Globes '10: Rose Byrne

This Lanvin dress is gorgeous and I love the diamond roses by Stephen Russell. The only thing that annoys me is that her Neil Lane hair clip doesn’t really match the rose brooches on her dress. But I know me and my neuroses are most likely at fault here.

Golden Globes '10: Drew Barrymore

I first saw her Atelier Versace dress from the side and thought, this silver hedgehog on her shoulder is a strange choice, but I don’t hate it. It’s actually pretty interesting.
Then I saw that she has another one crawling on her hip, and that’s one too many for my liking. The dress itself is gorgeous though.

Golden Globes '10: Chloë Sevigny

Her Valentino dress didn’t receive many positive reviews, but I like it. It’s a bit crazy, but considering some of her outfits I’d say she did really well.
Or maybe it’s just my unreasonable love for ruffles speaking.

People's Choice Awards '10: Taylor Swift

When I saw a thumbnail version of the picture I thought, cute, simple, pretty, but nothing special. But then I saw a bigger version and noticed the detail on the dress. Well, wow. It’s amazingly beautiful, almost bridal. Love-love-love it.

People's Choice Awards '10: Jessica Alba

This dress is too shiny and interesting for me to be able to say a bad word about it. I’m not too sure about the shoes though. They’re a bit “Help! Somebody please untie me before the pirates return!” I think she should have chosen more futuristic chains to go with this dress.

VMA 09: Pink and Shakira

Pink and Shakira arrived to the show wearing the same dress. Every woman's nightmare! And of course now everyone has to talk about who wore it better. In my opinion, it was Pink. Shakira’s hair looked amazing, but the horrendous leather boots and the leather clutch were just too much. Pink kept it nice and simple.

VMA 09: Nelly Furtado

Nelly Furtado’s outfit is something a middle aged woman would wear to the theatre. A stylish woman, but still. This is the VMA’s! She should have shown some skin or at least used a few colours. And putting your hands in your dress pockets (on the red carpet) is just…wrong.

VMA 09: Perez Hilton

I used to kind of like/tolerate him, but after this I just feel hatred. Saying things like that about someone who’s recently had a miscarriage is pure evil. And he looks ridiculous here.

VMA 09: Katy Perry

I’ll admit it, I like this girl. She’s gorgeous, she has curves and she can sing – that’s more than can be said about most pop stars. Her clothing style is at times a bit extreme and, well, laughable, but next to Lady Gaga she’s almost boring.
This dress is kind of tin foil-ish but undeniably hot. I’d prefer it with different shoes, though.

VMA 09: Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé

A bottle of alcohol as an accessory – such class, Kanye
I’ve always liked his music, but his actions are getting inexcusable. Seriously, what he did that night was one of the rudest things I’ve ever seen.
One the other hand, Beyoncé’s behaviour brought tears to my eyes (but just so you know, that happens all the time). Later, the sceptic in me thought about how much positive publicity this created for MTV, for Taylor Swift and mostly, for Beyoncé. For the record, I don’t think it was staged, but I’m sure no one tried to stop Kanye from storming the stage because, come on, he might do something crazy again.In my opinion this dress is too loose and long, but I love the red lips and nails.
This dress reveals a bit too much - both cleavage and legs - but she looks hot and anyway, her outfit is not the thing everybody will be talking about for days.
