Gwyneth Paltrow in pink Valentino at the Met Gala: boring & disappointing?

It’s not that I think Gwyneth Paltrow’s pink Valentino gown is the worst. It’s far from the worst. It’s just that… I expect more from her, I think. This gown seems like she was phoning it in at last night’s Met Gala. I don’t understand how a self-respecting (self-adoring, actually) Fashion Girl wears this to a punk-themed Met Gala. You know what it is? Four or five years ago, if Gwyneth had to go to a major fashion event with a punk theme, she would have gone all out and punked-out. But now that she’s a lifestyle maven trying to appeal to middle-America moms, she feels she can’t go that far. So she plays it safe in an ugly pink Valentino. Goop, you disappoint me.

Also disappointing? Carey Mulligan in this completely blah Balenciaga. It’s a cute dress, it looks okay on her, and it would have been perfectly suitable for one of the premieres or screenings of The Great Gatsby, but it looks out of place for the Met Gala. She looks miserable too. What’s up with her lately? She always looks like she’s about to cry.

And what the hell is Anna Wintour wearing? This is Chanel. And it’s not punk at all.
