Zendaya in Fausto Puglisi at the Met Gala: whimsical or weird?

Zendaya

I always look forward to seeing what Zendaya wears on the red carpet. She didn’t disappoint at her first Met Gala. This fanciful Fausto Puglisi number sticks with Z’s unique sense of style but still manages to fit the gala’s theme with varying different sun prints emblazoned upon her skirt, wrist cuffs and headpiece. Not even a flouncy, mullety skirt (which is offset nicely by a streamlined, deep v-necked top) can make me dislike this dress. Zendaya always has fun with her fashion, and her youthful attitude allows her to get away with a variety of looks.

Vanessa Hudgens wore a flirty little H&M dress that was one of my favorites of the evening. The bold red color, the clean lines, and the dark jewels were all so pretty. She even pulled off a face net. Is this the same girl who lives at Coachella? She looks amazing.

Miley Cyrus wore a gold-studded, custom Alexander Wang NY gown. She told reporters she was going commando because of course. Miley surely chose this dress for the revealing cutouts, but even with blue hair, she looks boring. Two years ago, Miley was the one of the style stars of this gala. She looks like a faded version of herself now.

Justin Bieber looked like a clueless little boy in this Balmain jacket.

Hailey Baldwin may have pulled this powder blue TopShop dress out of her closet at the last moment. This is a very uninspired look.

Just for fun, here’s Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet. I don’t have an ID on Lisa’s dress (perhaps it dates back to the Pilgrims), but everything is more interesting with a little Lenny.

    Zendaya wins the night. Fun, artistic, theme appropriate, and utterly gorgeous.

    I have to disagree with Bedhead on Vanessa– I don’t think the dress is anything amazing and her makeup looks really bad. Borderline drag queen territory.

    I genuinely worry about Miley sometimes. She does look like a faded version of herself. Almost sickly.

    • We Are All Made of Stars says:

      I heartily agree on all three points.
      I WANT that headband and sun skirt.

    • Kitten says:

      Zendaya looks awesome. It sort of remind me of Kurkova’s dress.
      She is a really beautiful girl that can basically wear anything and make it look good.

    • lucy2 says:

      Zendaya is so pretty! And she’s young and fun and totally makes that dress work.
      I think Vanessa’s is OK, nothing spectacular, but good for her. She has set a low bar with other stuff she’s worn.

    • Franca says:

      Are these suns Chinese? They look almost Greek.

  2. Loopy says:

    Hailey Baldwin, The Hadid (sp?) sisters, Cara, Kendall Jenner…how do they manage to bag these things WTF.

  3. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    I’m not usually jealous of people, but Lisa Bonnet makes me jealous. She is still friends with Lenny and she’s married to Jason Momoa. What a lucky girl, good for her, and by that I mean “Bitch!!”

    • Loopy says:

      LOL I know right, she needs to write a book. She must have kryptonite !

    • Shambles says:

      She gets to have her cake and eat it too, with Lenny being the cake and Jason being the edible part. Mm.

    • Beckysuz says:

      I know ..that lucky bitch. She has had two of the hottest men ever in one lifetime. I would like to be the cream in a Lenny and Jason sandwich

    • Kitten says:

      The chemisty between Bonet and Momoa on The Red Road is palpable. Like, I find myself forgetting about the show and picturing them doing it.
      Am I gross?

      • claire says:

        LOL. OMG, you’re so funny. Always look forward to your comments.

      • AcidRock says:

        Not gross at all…please E. Lab. O. Rate. 🙂

      • Beckysuz says:

        No Kitten not at all. I was thinking the same damn thing when I saw the pics of her and Lenny . They must have had some bangin sex back in the day. And Jason looks like he knows his way around a woman’s body….yummmmmmmm

    • Ripley says:

      Honestly, I feel like Bedhead should have led with their photo. I literally squealed when I saw them together. I don’t mind Zendaya, but was thisclose to not clicking and I don’t really care about her either. And Lisa Bonet might be the luckiest/coolest woman in the world.

      • Original T.C. says:

        Yes totally buried the lead! Almost didn’t click either just was like well her face is pretty but girl has nothing on the celebrity and hotness that is Lenny and Lisa. I want moooore! Why are they posing together, are they back together. That woman is ageless. Looking hotter than these basic ladies in their 20’s.

      • Ripley says:

        She’s a total vampire. (Came back just to look at the photos. Nerd Alert!)

  4. Greek chic says:

    Lisa Bonet is a beautiful woman but this is bad look. She is ready for the saloon.

    Zenaya is pretty but the dress is tacky.
    Hailey has a nice body but I don’t see a model.
    Miley looks awful as usual.

  5. mia girl says:

    Zendaya – Loved it. She’s so pretty
    Although, it must have been so difficult to move around a crowded party with that dress.

    Hudgens – “Is this the same girl who lives at Coachella?” She’s like a real life Gigi!

    Miley – God awful.

    Kravitz & Bonet – What the what? Love that they can hang out together.

  6. Kiddo says:

    Everything is pretty interesting on this page (Miley looks great, sorry), but I hate Lisa Bonet’s neckline, it’s very pilgrimy or something. I even like baby douche toddler’s jacket.

    • capepopsie says:

      The toddler is trying to imitate Michael Jackson
      and is NOT going to get there. Just saying. .

      • Kiddo says:

        I said I liked the jacket, not the jerkit in it.

      • Zwella Ingrid says:

        The toddler has what my sons used to call a “dirty stash” Mustache that is so try hard, it looks more like dirt.

    • capepopsie says:

      I Heard you Kiddo!
      And I agree totally.
      🙂

  7. RobN says:

    Don’t worry, Lisa, my mom once handmade me a dress like that, too.

  8. Size Does Matter says:

    It is a sign of how bad I have the Game of Thrones bug when I see the pics of Zendaya and I first think I think is: DORNE!

  9. Mimz says:

    I couldn’t care less for Lisa B’s designer ID as I loathe the dress but Lenny makes everthing yummier.
    Also, he posted a beautiful pic of the two of them and Zoe. Family. Where’s Khal Drogo these days???? She’s been hanging out a lot with Lenny!!

  10. JENNA says:

    Miley’s dress doesn’t flatter her body. She’s too skinny.

    • Wren says:

      I actually think the dress looks nice and kinda cool, it’s what’s going on from the neck up that makes her look borderline ill. The slicked hair with the washed out color is doing her no favors. If she’d done bright platinum with stronger make up I think she’d look pretty great.

      • Zwella Ingrid says:

        I agree. I don’t hate the dress but her hair and makeup makeup are not flattering in the least.

  11. Lucy says:

    I want nothing but good things for Zendaya. She seems like such a cool, fun girl. And Vanessa killed it too!! Say what you will about her street style, but she knows how to bring it when she has to.
    EDIT: Also, what happened to Miley? She looked weird last night. I hope she’s okay…

  12. serena says:

    I don’t like Vanessa Hudgens’ look, first I think her foundation or powder was too pale, was not in theme, and I hate dresses cut-out like on the ankles. They look awful on everybody IMO!

    As for Miley Cyrus, she looks bored out of her mind. I guess it shows in her whole look, unispired and unoriginal -and not in theme of course-. But it’s not awfull all in all. I just wish she’d give more volume to her poor hair and stop with the slicked-back hair.

  13. qwerty says:

    Hailey Baldwin’s gone all Kardashian lately

  14. Jayna says:

    Aw, Lenny, my love.

    Kanye, this is a guy that knows fashion for men. Always unique and always rocks it.

  15. Jayna says:

    Zendaya looks amazing and adorable all at the same time.

    The gown is wearing Miley, unfortunately. She always looks like she’s playing dress-up.

  16. MadMenluv says:

    zendaya???? who is this girl? all i know is that now i can’t stand her after all that unnecessary drama she caused with “fashion police” …so annoying…if she didn’t like criticism she should stay out of the media…

    she looks terrible and she should go away…

    justin bieber just looks like kate mcinnon from snl…

    • Sally J. Freedman says:

      Uhh, the drama SHE caused? She wasn’t the one who said something offensive. She actually responded with so much grace. She’s very young but also very mature.

      • Saks says:

        I would agree but I found her to be quite an hypocrite. She had been to that awful show before Joan passed away, and laugh at the expenses of others. So she thinks it was ok to make fun of others but she didn’t liked when she was mocked?
        I wholeheartedly agreed with her statement tho, but the fact she had also been there criticizing others rubbed me the wrong way. I think she saw a chance to make news and she took it.

    • Carmen says:

      Zendaya handled a tacky situation with grace and class, which nobody could say about the harpies who were shading her.

    • OSTONE says:

      Unnecessary drama she caused?? On a budget, z-list show with zero fashion expertise? Please, sit DOWN. She handled the offensive, stereotypical and racist remarks in a very graceful and mature way. You keep doing your thing, Zendaya!

    • Zwella Ingrid says:

      I love Zendaya and I think she looks amazing here. Fashion police sucks for what their criticism of her. I think you need to rethink that comment @madmenluv

  17. ¡mire usted! says:

    Lenny and Lisa? Oh, my! Take me back to the 80s! I’m not digging Lisa’s dress but it’s so nice to them together.

    Zendaya looks beautiful. She’s really growing up.

    I like Vanessa’s dress too.

    I think Miley is still finding her way as a young woman. She’ll find a look that suits her. This look is not her. It’s a part of growing up, I guess.

  18. OSTONE says:

    Zendaya & Bee Shaffer, best dressed for me!

  19. Carmen says:

    Not feeling Zendaya’s dress at all but she is so pretty and carries herself very well for her age.

  20. Bobo says:

    Vanessa looks hideous, one of the worst looks I’ve seen her wear. What are you guys seeing? The length of the dress makes her look super short, her face is oily and foundation too pale, clownish makeup overall, and all the tacky gems and rhinestones bring back memories of early 00s proms.

  21. Livealot says:

    Love zendayas look, haileys shoes (and nothing else), BEibers jacket, Lisa and Lenny together and yes she makes me jealous as well – beautiful family.

    Vanessa’s dress makes her look stumpy. No Bueno. Speaking of Spanish I get that vibe from her instead of Chinese.

  22. coconut says:

    Lisa & Lenny are wearing Valentino. I love his navy suit.

    Omg, GoT nerds side note- Zendaya is totally wearing the Dornish suns that the beautiful Pedro Pascal adorned as the Red Viper last season <3 her

    I have Bieber’s Dior sunglasses, and now I’m going to burn them in a bonfire fueled by hate.
