Forget the Oscars -- The
Met Costume Ball is
the event when it comes to celebs and fashion, more specifically when it comes to gossiping about celebs and their rather "interesting" taste in fashion. New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art was mobbed with famous faces, representing young and old Hollywood alike in both the variety of attendees themselves and with the style of their ensembles, ranging from exquisitely glamorous and timeless to innovative and uniquely modern. Given that the theme of this year's spring gala was "Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion," I couldn't help but be slightly concerned on behalf of a few celebs who seemed to have inspired some rather unsavory sheaths. For example, if I were
Heidi Klum (in some glorious alternate universe), I just might be slightly alarmed and/or insulted if my serving as a muse resulted in a black and blue octopus-looking number reminiscent of Ursula from the
The Little Mermaid. I realize she's trying to hide a baby bump, and bless her, but... really? Furthermore, Gossip Girls
Leighton Meester and
Blake Lively seemed to be in a contest for most unflattering frock,
Molly Sims dressed up as some kind of misshapen cowbell, and
Rihanna channeled a sort of couture Michael Jackson. It's sad that the more chic costumes had to be upstaged by the wardrobe disasters, but the Met Ball just wouldn't be the same without the fashion missteps! Vote below on which costume you think was the craziest.
