Vogue: Who's Best Dressed?

May 07, 2008 @ 1:20pm

christina ricci givenchy met ball.jpgYou might be able to turn all that Met Ball office banter into some actual cash -


Vogue just announced their first ever Viewer's Choice Awards for the clothes we've all seen a zillion times since Monday night.

Starting Friday, you can log on to the Vogue.tv site and vote for your favorite look from the gala, and enter to win two round trip tickets to a $2,500 shopping spree at J. Mendel and two nights at the Lowell Luxury Hotel in NYC.

You have until May 16, but if you think that's a tough deadline, just think of poor Alexandra Kotur who has to manage the politics of the ten best dressed by Monday morning.

Our votes?

Britt can't decide between Christina Ricci and Lou Doillon, Brett likes Zac/Kate Mara and Kate Bosworth, and Natalie thinks both Christina Ricci and Julie Gilhart walked the ball attire/superhero line to great effect.

You?

Bonus:

Here are our guesses for who will end up on Vogue's 10 Best for Monday...

1. Julia Roberts (because they always put the host on)

2. Christina Ricci (because she actually deserves it)

3. L'Wren and Daphne Guinness (because they're Vogue's dream couple)

4. L'Wren repeat - they always count a couple separately)

5. Caroline Trentini (because her vintage Thierry Mugler looked more futuristic than anyone else, and she's one of Anna's favorites)

6. Katie Holmes (because they need a second person wearing Armani, and hers was best)

7. Lisa Airan (because she actually made Rodarte look superhero-y, and she's definitely a Vogue favorite)

8. Stephanie Seymour (because she looked good, and she's a supe)

9. Lauren Santo Domingo (because she's wearing a pretty cool Nina Ricci, and she's still Lauren Davis to them)

10. Chanel Iman (because her Chanel belt fit the theme)

as much as i loved christina, i thought anna was best dressed. honestly, the loveliest i've ever seen her. (in spite of whatever she may be as a person.) was her dress leia inspired or ram horn sets or what?

Kate Moss was looking pretty awesome. I've already seen her on a couple best dressed lists from that night. Kate Mara too. Bee and Anna both deserve it in my opinion. And Diane Kruger.

Anna Wintour's dress was supposed to be modeled off of the likeness of Storm from the X-Men.

I thought Scarlett Johansson looked the best she ever has. LOVE the ballerina dress, hair and makeup.

Also loved Kate Bosworth and Kristin Davis.

All in all, I think the models had the best looks especially Kate Moss, Jourdan Dunn, Liya Kebede, Jessica Stam, Lily Donaldson.

Everyone liked Christina Ricci's look but personally I couldn't get past how skeletal she looked.

Best was Jourdan Dunn, soooo pretty!
then I loved Elettra Rossellini's dress
and 3rd place split between Kate Moss/ Lou Doillon
hated all the Pucci/garden party dresses
and poor Donna Karan and MK Olsen had the worst looks, methinks.

Julie Gilhart and Jessica Stam wore my two favorite looks from Fall 08, but I don't think they were appropriate for the theme.
Anna was the best, but they will never list her.
Chanel Iman, Christina Ricci, Zac/Kate and Naomi Watts would win the "costume contest"! They put out the most effort.

BEST: Bee Schaffer looked great! Tretini, cause she rocked the theme. Coco because I love her dress. Daphne because her make up and hair were BEYOND amazing. Ashley Olsen, because her dress looked great on her (and her hair looked pretty - MK looked atrocious though!) and Christina. I thought she looked SOOO good.

WORST: CLaire Danes - Boring boring boring. Julia Roberts -seriously the dress and hair made look 100. MK - hideous. Charlotte Gainsbourgh - I worship Balenciaga but it did not flatter her and hair looked terrible. Michelle Trachtenberg- OLD LADY.

Not many people stuck to the theme, which was super disappointing! :-(

Chanel Iman & Camilla Belle truly did it for me! I've listed my favorites if you want to look.

I was so sad not many people did the theme! It could have been soooo good. Christina Ricci, Coco, Daphne, Ashley Olsen, and Tretini looked the best.

Claire Danes, MK, Michelle Tratchenberg, and Julia Roberts -worst.

Christina Ricci because she always KNOCKS OUT with a Strapless Dress & SUPERHERO FIGURE.

Caroline Trentini & MUGLER because they immediately made Nicolas Ghesquiere look like a copycat, which HE IS NOT.

Ashley Olsen, Isabeli Fontana and Liya Kebede because they made Black NOT BORING

Marie Josée Kravis because she's a Chic Encounter of the Third Kind & she has so much smarts & money, she doesn't care what we think.

Cecilia n Lisa Airan because they had conspired & planned to wear Rodarte ALL ALONG. Sorry Gilles.

Karl Lagerfeld because he's a real Superhero.

AND FINALLY Lauren Santo Domingo because she's a Olivier Theyskens loyalist, changed her last name & it takes a SUPERHERO to have the guts to throw throw an A*LIST AFTER-PARTY for Fashion's Elite. NOT AN EASY TASK.

9. Donald & Melania Trump (because The Don still looks crazy but WE GET THEM & LOVE SEEING them together.

10. Eric & Aerin Lauder Zinterhofer because they give us an idea of how Ritzy it is to be the present & future of the Upper East Side.


Honorable Mentions:

*Donald and Susan Newhouse because they show the fashion world how beautiful it is to be together EVEN if you are Billionaires.

Naomi Watts - white pleated dress with the star and her Hollywood esque waves!!!

Kate Mara and Zac Posen - sure bet by fire. Vogue love Zac Posen, and people who actually follow the theme.

Lake Bell - great dress! She looked amazing and I don't even really know who she is... and they like Peter Som & Peter Som @ Balmain

And definitely Caroline - she looked perfect!
