The Met's Costume Institute Gala: Mary-Kate Olsen

May 4, 2009

You knew Mary-Kate wasn't going to wear something simple. Far from. She swept through the Met Gala in a vintage Lacroix gown. The draped pleated chiffon bodice over a full ruffled skirt overlaid in metallic lace and silver-embroidered bustier-basque is a mouthful — and it's certainly a complex choice. She looks like she stepped off the set of a period film; is that a good or bad thing?

This would look better if the dress fit her. It is WAY too big for her, she needs to go down a few sizes.

Looks like Morticia's wedding dress, but what else is new. MK's style was always iffy. Sometimes she looks amazing, others, she looks like this.

i want to love this dress - but it's just too much for her petite frame

Part of me screams costume! But the other part of me loves it anyways.

I think the dress is pretty awesome, but her posture completely ruins the look. STAND UP STRAIGHT, YOUNG LADY!!

She looks even shorter than usual, but for some reason I love the dress. Only on her though :)

Ugh, bad Renaissance Fair. She's too short to pull this off

She was making me think of someone and I just figured it out. It's SJP's character from "Hocus Pocus"

Oh god, horrible. To me they both always get it wrong, they dress too old for their age, their clothing line is disgusting and they wear too much makeup for their pretty faces. Her right ring looks interesting, though.
