National Costume Institute Gala 2007

What's more fun than people dressing up and REALLY trying to look good? Nothing. This is like my heaven.

Let's do it!


Christina Ricci:
She clearly has scoliosis or something here, because I can't explain her strange posture in any other way. Those bangs are supremely ridiculous, in a Nelly Furtado kind of way. The dress is simple and lovely, but I feel like those clunky black shoes are killing it. Why not put on a strappy gold sandal or something?


Claire Danes:
Did anyone else totally love this girl because of 'My So-Called Life'? And then she was Juliet in Baz Luhrman's remake of R&J. Wow. One thing I liked about her, is she looked kind of girl-next-door.
Then she went around stealing people's baby daddies...that wasn't cool. And this isn't him. Have they broken up now? Did she steal a baby-daddy needlessly? I have respect for that. That's a little too 'Days of our Lives' for me.
Dress is interesting...I'm not crazy about the color combo, but I respect its daringness...the matching jewelry kind of throws it off for me though.


Hillary Swank:
Love the plum color, love the studs, hate her damn horse face! What is wrong with this woman? Why can't she just wear a mask? Is that too much to ask? I don't think so...she should try to please the fans. Seriously, though, fab dress.


Kirsten Dunst:
If I didn't already hate this woman, after seeing this picture I definitely would. THIS is what you're wearing? Is that a small dog strapped to her forehead?

And the second worst part is, when you do the scroll down, her mop/boyfriend is wearing COWBOY BOOTS and what look to be black jeans. Oh for the love of all things good and holy...


Amanda Peet:
Ok, I realize that she has just squeezed out a child, but some effort would have been appreciated. Did she get this at Forever 21? It's so blah compared to everything else. Not that I'm asking her to Kirsten-Dunst-it-up and try to look like a hooker from an alternate universe circa 1922, but come on!


Cameron "the Man" Diaz:
I want to say that I hate this, but I don't. The dress, yes, I hate it, but the idea is really solid. The anti boring black (ahem, Jennifer Aniston), so colorful and springy, it's really beautiful. But the fact remains that I hate Cameron Diaz more than almost anyone, so I must show allegiance to myself and bash her.

She's a stupid head.

Cate Blanchett:
Um, I wasn't aware that Cate Blanchett had died! Someone managed to jam enough adrenaline into her chest cavity to wake her up for the night? Holy hell, what happened to this normally stunning woman?

I love the dress, although it does remind me of that really tacky Gold American Express dress that was floating around in the 90's...but her hair! Her make-up! Her emaciated, corpse-like frame. God, I hope that's for a role because she looks terrible and I never thought she would cave to the pressure...

Chloe Sevigny (aka my arch fashion enemy):
I hate this woman! I am actually not hating that dress though. I do, however, really hate her hair, her face and her shoes. Are those studded gladiator type high heel sandals with that taffeta dress? BOOO!
