Everything Met Ball, Orthodox Jewish Women Get Fashionable, and Fashion Insiders Share Their Moms’ Best Beauty Tips

by

The Met Ball Goes (Mostly) Punk: The hair, the makeup, the gowns, and the juicy gossip—we had this year’s Met Gala covered. (Including how Godmother of Punk, Vivienne Westwood, got snubbed.)

We even gathered all the best Instagrams and Vines of the night.

And Then Kame Kim Kardashian: The reality TV star arrived on the Met Ball red carpet in a custom floral Givenchy dress designed by Riccardo Tisci that received, um, mixed reviews. Even Robin Williams (aka Mrs.Doubtfire) weighed in, with perhaps the best tweet of the day. Tisci came to the defense of Kim and his dress, but that wasn’t enough to stop her getting unceremoniously cropped out of Vogue‘s Met Gala best-dressed slideshow.
