Hot or Not: Kate Bosworth’s Miu Miu Dress

Actress Kate Bosworth attended a special screening of “Black Rock” last night in a Miu Miu dress that featured a gray satin godet skirt and an embroidered top.

WHAT SHE DID RIGHT:

  • SHOES: I live and die by the pointy-toe pump, so I really liked Kate’s metallic silver Prada heels. They’re versatile, too — they’d look equally great with a pair of skinny jeans. (D-I-Y: Joe’s Jeans metallic silver Delores pump are a fantastic deal at $145, but I won’t lie — my heart belongs to these $995 Manolo Blahnik BB metallic silver snake pumps.)

  • BAG: Kate is carrying a cornflower blue python Prada clutch. Everything about this bag is right. Except for the price, of course. Fortunately, Diane von Furstenberg’s cornflower blue python clutch is just as chic but only a third of the price.

  • MAKEUP: She’s radiant without being greasy, and that’s signature of the right foundation. One to try: Lancome’s Teint Miracle foundation creates a lit-from-within complexion that gives the illusion of perfect skin ($40).

WHAT SHE DID WRONG:

  • LIPS: I like her in a bold red lip — I just don’t like that shade of bold red lip. It’s too orange. She should have gone with a more neutral red, like Nars’ Red Lizard .

UP FOR DEBATE:

HER DRESS: is her Miu Miu frock an avant-garde juxtaposition of contrasting textures and shapes, or a just an ugly mismatched train wreck of a dress? I’ll leave it up to you to decide!

Whose Hair is Worse: Anne Hathaway vs Nicole Richie vs Miley Cyrus at the Met Gala

Met Gala Worst Hair

Debby Harry was reportedly the inspiration for Anne Hathaway’s godawful dye job, and the Cynthia doll Angelica Pickles carried around in Rugrats was clearly the inspiration for Miley Cyrus’ new ‘do. As for Nicole Richie’s hair, I’ve only got three words for you — “rock me, Amadeus!” Inspiration is really just another way of assigning blame.

Met Gala’s Biggest Makeup Mistakes and How to Fix Them

Claire Danes’ heavy lower liner makes her eyes look smaller and closer together, which in turn makes her nose look bigger. These are not things you want your eye makeup doing. A little more definition on top (try Lorac Pro Cream Eyeliner, $19) and a strip of false lashes (Illamasqua, $15) could have fixed this right up.

I assume Ginnifer Goodwin is playing the role of a young John Travolta playing the part of Cleopatra in a Lifetime Liz Taylor biopic. This is why you want to stick with powder and wax (Benefit Brow Zings, $30) instead of a magic marker when beefing up your eyebrows.

January Jones looks like Ziggy Stardust’s equally androgynous kid sister. Instead of stupid futuristic shapes, keep liner soft and smudgy to make your eyes look bigger. Lancome’s Le Stylo waterproof eyeliner, $26, has a sponge-tipped end just for blending.

Miranda Kerr is the Met Gala’s Best Dressed

I’m normally staunchly against bare midriff on the red carpet, but Miranda Kerr’s Michael Kors dress at the Met Costume Institute Gala just works. It was my favorite look of the evening. She perfectly tempered the edginess of the dress and clutch with old Hollywood makeup and hair and diamond jewelry. It’s like somebody crossed Aeon Flux with Rita Hayworth. It’s everything a Met Costume Institute Gala look should be!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted its annual Costume Institute Gala Benefit last night, and this year’s theme was “PUNK: Chaos to Couture.” Or as I like to call it, “Posers on Parade.” You should have no problem finding their queen. She’s wearing the traditional plumed mohawk headpiece and everything.
