Madonna is Reviving the Scrunchie, Beware

Walking the line between good taste and risk is hard enough for a normal red carpet event, but when it comes to the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it’s time for fashion critics (large and small) to be more ruthless than normal. You see, this event is sort of almost like Halloween – you’re supposed to go all out. And while the celebrity of your choice should look good, if they play it too safe here they’re just plain boring! (Such was sadly the case for far to many – from  model Gisele Bundchen in a tiny minidress, to model Amber Valletta in a simple tangerine colored dress. YAWN.

This year’s theme? The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion

Sadly, Gossip Girl Leighton Meester goes on my list of ‘BAD’. She certainly made an effort. But she went overboard. She can’t seem to decide between an 80’s theme or being Shirley Temple. I’d personally pass on both. Verdict: BAD.

But LeMe wasn’t alone. In fact even the wonderful Heidi Klum had a ‘miss’ last night.
