I like the back of Sarah Jessica Parker's gown.

Coco Brandolini's Venice-scape might be my favorite of the whole night.

Posted: 5/6/14 at 11:55amI think it's a weird the person who seems think a person's inherent value is tied to what money they have or can generate would have anything against people who conspicuously consume.

@ GreasedLightning - Just cause something is expensive or designer doesn't make it good. I for one would only accept those outfits to turn around and sell them to some other fool who thinks that because they are by some big designer that they are worth paying excessive amounts for it when it looks awful. Cause trust me, put a designer label in a potato sack and it will sell.
Their two outfits are pale in comparison to the rest.

Posted: 5/6/14 at 12:09pmYes, they are pale, just like the MENSA member says.

Posted: 5/6/14 at 12:14pmWho cares?! It's a fancy dress-up party for fancy dress-up people. If they're going to these things, let them wear whatever they want.

Bryan Cranston and his wife, Robin Dearden, were at the event and made Humans of New York.
"What's your favorite thing about her?"
"She still gets giddy when she sees a firefly."

Posted: 5/6/14 at 12:20pmKad, it makes them abhorrent. I think some people don't know what that word means.

Posted: 5/6/14 at 12:21pmAs long as they stand by their opinion that wearing a couture outfit to a couture gala is a classic "look at me" move, it doesn't matter!

Posted: 5/6/14 at 1:02pmI think they're fabulous.

PJ, you're right, there were some costumey ones. With my wacky taste, those are the ones I really love. Except for Lupita's. My very favs were the Carolina Kurkova and the Venice scape.
I think Vera Wang and Charlize Theron had the same gown on.

"I'm not talking about this specific instance only.
I've just grown a strong distaste for him as a personality."
So, essentially, when you see NPH in a subject line, no matter what is actually being discussed, you merely enter to spew your venom?

The Met ball is supposed to be bold and dramatic. It's a very fitting ensemble for a night dedicated to a designer renowned by Vogue as the "master of the cut", Charles James. I think they look great, and perfect for the evening. I hope Neil had a large steak and a lot of rolls.

I am allowed to voice my opinion just like every other poster on this board.
I won't be made to believe otherwise.
Don't like it? Not apologizing. I read a lot of things on this board that I agree with and a good amount of things that I don't. But, I certainly don't launch into attacks against those I disagree with.
So, essentially, when you see NPH in a subject line, no matter what is actually being discussed, you merely enter to spew your venom?
Please show me one other instance in which I've done this.

Posted: 5/6/14 at 1:55pmIt seems people have negative opinions about your opinion and wish to exercise their right to voice their opinions about it.

Go right ahead, Kad.
You don't have to agree with me.

Posted: 5/6/14 at 2:00pmFOAnatic, you must realize that there is a relatively small but frequently-posting group of folk here who derive great pleasure in personally attacking those whose opinions they don't like. It's unattractive, but can be entertaining under the right circumstances.

Posted: 5/6/14 at 2:00pm"Abhorrent" just seems like a case of hammering a nail with a an atom bomb when a hammer would do just fine.

Posted: 5/6/14 at 2:01pmI cannot BELIEVE I'm about to defend Lupita's look...but I feel like it's a wacky nod to Josephine Baker, which I love. I mean, if Solange Knowles can show up looking like a floppy vagina, I feel like we should cut Lupita some slack!

Lupita is perfect in Prada, especially for the Met ball.

"You don't have to agree with me."
And I don't! Because calling NPH's outfit a "look at me" gimmick - when it is plainly A) in the spirit of the event and B) relatively mild at said event- is simply just you finding everything he does offensive. Even if it means inventing reasons to find him offensive.

Posted: 5/6/14 at 2:40pmI actually kinda like the outfits, if I could ever go to the Met Ball, I'd definitely wear something fun and eccentric like that, it's part of the event. I love that the pants have their own cape.
