Beauty Reporter Blog - Beauty as Muse at the Met Gala Provided by Allure Magazine
May 05, 2009
The theme of last night's Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was "Model As Muse: Embodying Fashion," so maybe that's why actors mimicked the models by trading in their more traditional red carpet staples to test some of the latest hot-off-the-runway looks. The results? Hmm... There was some craziness, but some stars managed to pull it off. Here, our favorite beauty moments. (Click here for these, and tons more, photos.)
Most Dramatic Beauty Moment
Controversy! In-house, we're a little divided over Anne Hathaway's look: Did she go too far? Still, when it comes to risk taking, we salute that big hair and '60s go-go dancer makeup juxtaposed with jewels and a Marc Jacobs dress. Hey, she's young, she's so hot right now. Why not?
Best Turban-Matching Makeup
Okay, some people will always be anti-turban no matter what, but last night's host Kate Moss knows Grey Gardens chic is all the rage now, and besides, she can handle this tricky trend just fine. Bonus points for taking the whole effect to the next level by donning extra dramatic, metallic cat eyes like an opera star. Because really, if you're gonna wear headgear, just go for it. All the way baby.
Best Classic Look
Tinsel Town blonds tend to play with crazy color, but Kate Bosworth oozes glamor by sticking with the velvety LBD, cherry red lips, and '30s diva waves while managing to make the whole shebang look modern as well. It may be a tried and true formula, but she really does ace it every time.
Biggest Beauty Trend Follower
Rachel Weisz was all over the dark lips trend, and even paired her deep berry stain with a peachy pink dress. Normally, that would give us pause, but the effect is stunning with her chocolate brown hair. Still, in shots where her teeth show it looks a little much. Does this prove the trend is simply too unwearable? You tell us, and then tell us who you thought rocked it (or not so much) last night.

I know there's a lot of serious stuff to concentrate on now. Health concerns, the economy, so many people loosing their jobs and companies going bankrupt. Well I don't know about you but I love my fashion!!! So maybe I'm alone in this and I'd love to hear from you about it. Personally I think Madonna's was more out there then Ann Hathaway, but what do I know. For more fashion info and other articles and resources for NH & MA women check us out at www.applaudwomen.com

Very serious stuff we're facing, but we all need a break once in a while and I think fashion is fun! I especially love to see those crazy runway contraptions also known as "haute couture" and often wonder where one would wear that stuff! Thanks for the smile.
Yes there are more serious things going on, but I believe we all need a break sometimes. I think fashion is fun and interesting, especially those contraptions unveiled at runway shows (also known as "haute couture") where I wonder where one would wear such outfits! Thanks for the smile.
Hi Audrey,
Thanks for your comment. I totally agree.
