It was the Costume Institute gala on Monday – aka Fright Night at the Museum. Nice Superquinn-turquoise horns, Madonna and don’t get me started on Stella’s lace bra suit. Even a huge 60s bouffant couldn't make Bland Hathaway look remotely interesting. Yes, we complain about boring red carpet dressing, but that’s really no excuse for parading a year’s worth of worst dressed moments all in one night.
King of the night was honorary chair Marc Jacobs. Although I’m usually his biggest fan, unfortunately he was responsible for many of the horrors on show - Kate’s tinfoil mess, VB’s cheap polka dot handkerchief accessorized with hideous orange tan.
All of this Marc action reminded me yet again how much I miss the Marc Jacobs of yore, pre-rehab and pre- makeover. He had lank, greasy hair, wore nerdy specs and was a few stone heavier - but he was so cute. He’s all happily engaged now and living clean but the hotness just isn’t there for me anymore. I get it. He wanted to show ex Jason Preston what he was missing. But now he’s all loved up with Lorenzo Martone, maybe he’ll start to let himself go and return to his grungier roots. Hopefully. Enough with designers (Karl, Donna, John Galliano - I'm talking to you) and their dramatic weight loss. They should just leave the size zero obsession to the models.
PS - Just to prove we’re not evil bloggers, damning everybody…
The Portmanteau’s Best Dressed at the Met were Jessica Stam in Rodarte and Diane Kruger in Chanel.

I'm presuming Moss got dressed in a K-hole, nothing but drugs would convince you to put that thing on... and the cape? Don't get me started on the cape. Marc Jacobs clearly hates her, a friend would never have let her out in that,
Yeah, I hated that Marc Jacobs dress on Kate Moss and the matching eyeshadow just to top off the tinfoil look.My favourite dress was the Zac Posen dress which Helena Christensen wore, It was thrashy but very cute.
