Kerry Washington in patchwork Michael Kors at the Met Gala: needs work?

Kerry Washington came to the Met Gala with designer Michael Kors. She was in this patchwork gown with uneven pieces and cutouts featuring different metallic and sequin designs. You can see what they’re going for with this dress but it doesn’t quite work. It’s like they tried to skirt the line between craft project and high fashion and failed. Also I really dislike her hair that way but it does go with the look.

Elizabeth Banks was mod and confusing in a formfitting Michael Kors dress with a black and white optic print. It’s hard to tell in the photos but this is actually an intricately sequined gown. This is somewhat in keeping with the theme, as Kawakubo’s prints are bold like this, from what little I know of her designs. This is Effie f-ing Trinket though, she could and should have done better and I think a different designer would have helped her embrace the theme. Also, my colorist would not let me leave the salon if my blonde was that one note. Her hair and makeup need work.

Did Mandy Moore have the same stylist as Elizabeth Banks because holy sh-t this is bad. I thought that pink eyeshadow was the worst but I may have to revise that to purple. Mandy is also in Michael Kors and this is a hard pass. She’s wearing one black glove, a half sleeve and it’s all black with some tattered ruffles thrown on top. What do you do when your stylist sends you out like this? Do you throw a fit, wash the terrible makeup off and do it all yourself or do you suck it up and hold your head up high like a pro? We see the choice that Mandy made.
