Riccardo Tisci very sweetly defended Kardashian’s dress and its critics, calling her “the future wife of a really good friend of mine” (uh, so she and West are engaged?) and “the most beautiful pregnant woman I dressed in my career.”
The Met Gala is one of the most celeb-saturated events outside of the Oscars. It also has a really wide, long red carpet with lots of stairs. It’s a perfect recipe for the photobomb.
New totally adorable fashion couple alert? We have no idea but Instagram makes it look that way.
Run-of-the-mill red carpets usually feature a lot of smoky eyes, nude lips, and artfully highlighted brow bones. But throw a punk theme in there, and suddenly you have January Jones looking like she escaped from a Gareth Pugh runway.
Yes, there were plenty of safe, gorgeous makeup looks at the Met Gala last night, but a handful of celebs really had fun with their eye makeup, either breaking out the color or the arty graphic eyeliner.

For a night dedicated to all things punk, we saw shockingly little of Vivienne Westwood, inarguably one of the creators of punk style, at last night’s Met Gala.

Now Topshop has announced plans to sell those same gowns seen on last night’s red carpet in stores.
Were Kanye West and Kim Kardashian the prom king and queen of this year’s Met Ball? Was the event just an opportunity for them to publicly declare their love (of each other and of man skirts) to all the haters? Kinda sounds like it. #punk
