Costume Institute Gala Best & Worst dressed Round 2

Most likely to do what the F she wants: Rihanna


Now, I love Rihanna, especially how she experiments and doesn't give a flying f#$% what other people think. She can do what she wants - she's the most talented 19-year-old on the planet who was chosen above all other artists to perform at this year's homage to fashion event. And this is her big comeback after all - she hasn't been to a big do since her fight with Chris Brown.
Still, if I was her, I maybe would've thought twice about this one ... I mean, there are Balmain shoulders, and then there are Balmain shoulders. These, clearly, are the latter. I do love how she pull it off with all the confidence in the world. It's like, "of course I'm wearing an oversized shiny tuxedo jacket that could belong to the Hunchback of Notre Dame and pants that are slightly too short. No, they're not Mary Kate's. Yes, I've got stretchy satin gloves on to match. Wouldn't you? Look at my slightly demure face and my submissive stance, doesn't that make up for my fierce shoulders?" Of course it does dear.

Most likely to be able to pull off Drama with a capital D: Kate Moss



Oh she's back! She's back! After a few worrying months in boring-drab-land, Kate cherry bombs with triple bonus points in this inspiring combo. It's all yummy nude fabric draped deliciously over her new curves and the piece de resistance? The head-wrap, of course. Prada tried to bring these in a few seasons back and it didn't really take but I bet Top Shop will be doing copies of this for their stores tomorrow. Her cheekbones and eyemakeup help of course, as does her Marc Jacobs handbag.


Best use of a doona cover: Anne Hathaway
I guess I can't complain. I encouraged her. I told her she was the Most Boring Person in the Universe. I went on and on and on about it. So she came out with this. And it's certainly not boring, is it. Rather the opposite. It's ... interesting. Unfortunately, dressing like the antonym of Boring isn't the key. The key is Stylish. Look that up darl. This pic won't be there.
You know, if Madonna got tired like the nanna she is, at the end of the night she could just lie Anne down and use her as a pillow.
Don't worry Anne, at least we've stopped yawning when you walk the red carpet.


Most likely to avoid Medusa next time: Tyra Banks
Don't laugh, it's not her fault. Tyra pulled a funny face and the wind changed and now her face is stuck! Like this! Forever! What's she going to do on Next Top Model? How will she show the models how to pull different faces for the camera? Her career is over. Over I tell you!
Not least because she thought she could pull off this monstrosity: Hair piled on top of her head in plaits so it looks like a bad fringe. Black dress in a very uncomfortable fabric which actually may explain the face. And no eyebrows. Tyra, if you're going to continually dish out judgement on your show, then you at least have to perform in real life, to us. You have to rise above them. As far as I'm concerned, you wouldn't have made it to the final 12 in this.


Best use of excess F's: Fake tan, Fabric, Fierce: Victoria Beckham

I know I'm going to get paid out for this, but I actually love her. Oh I know, I know. She's so fake. Fake fake fake fake. But she carries it so well! Look at the confidence beaming from her face! It's rather admirable.
I don't like her dress though. That train is just silly. Funny how it works on Kate Moss and fails so miserably on poor Vic. Just goes to show the difference between a true style queen and one who's had to claw her way in. Anyway, let's talk about something positive, like the muscles in her thigh. Shock horror! Is Vicky working out? Or better, eating?


Most likely to suck your blood after midnight: Rachel Gilbert

I have a girl crush on Rachel Gilbert. I think it's 'cause she's so tiny and cute and wears the best things in the world. This is no exception. The ruching works perfectly in tune with her body and even (gasp) gives her a tiny bit of cleavage. Hayden must be over the moon. She always does it so well: box clutch, snakeskin platforms, that demure look on her face.
The only thing am not besotted with in this picture? Her hair. It hangs on her face when it could be doing something fabulous, and is waaaaay too dark this time round. Unless she's starring in the next Twilight installment, New Moon, as a vampiric temptress. In which case, we forgive you Rach.
