One of my favorite looks of this year’s Met Gala was Anne Hathaway. Donatella Versace customized the look for Anne, and they walked the carpet together. This is a variation of the infamous Versace “safety pin” dress from the 1990s, but Donatella redid it with a Karl Lagerfeld-theme, in a pale tweed (rather than the leather of the original dress) and in addition to the safety pins, the dress was “held together” with pearl clasps. It is such an amazing interpretation of the Lagerfeld aesthetic. Anne really ate this. And yes, that’s stupid Jared Leto in a Choupette costume.
I was surprised by how many women wore slipdresses or very simple lingerie-inspired looks from the 1990s. Irina Shayk did that – I don’t have the ID on this, but it’s just… very basic. Her makeup isn’t even notable.
Kate Moss wore Fendi, as did her daughter Lila. Kate knew Karl Lagerfeld for decades, I’m kind of surprised that she didn’t do more? She’s Kate Moss, for goodness sake. She just threw on a Fendi slipdress.
Precious Lee also wore Fendi. It’s fine.

Anne was also one of my favorite looks for the night. I loved it – the dress, the styling, her hair – it was just a great look for her.
Kate Moss was a disappointment. She looked fine overall, it was just disappointing considering the theme.
Kate Moss always seems to go too cool for school at these things.
@concern fae, agreed. Kate is always consistent with her simplicity at the biggest events. The ones who lean heavily into theme are like, SPJ, Blake Lively, Rhianna, etc.
I would have liked it more in black I think? But omg her hair and makeup is just amazing. She gets prettier every year she gets older. She either has a great surgeon doing very small refinements or she’s one of those people who just ages like perfection. Every time I see her, she’s prettier
I absolutely LOVE the dress–my fave of the whole night. And I love her styling here–kind of a late sixties vibe. You’d expect to see that hair and makeup with a pair of gogo boots and a mini skirt but man does it work perfectly with that amazing dress. She is a seriously stunning woman who appears to get more beautiful with age. Being unproblematic will age you like a fine wine I guess.
Anne had the best of look of the night for me. 2nd would be Cardi B.
I wonder who Anne’s stylist is now now that Law retired. She is wearing the hell out of that dress.
Erin Walsh! I was curious too, so I Goog’d it. It looks like Walsh was responsible for Anne Hathaway’s style rebrand that started about a year ago.
the cream puff b**bs just don’t do it for me but otherwise the dress was fine.
overall the entire night was boring and flat, partly because none of these dresses were original I guess.
I didn’t care for those cream puffs either, but a closer look & I see those are the Chanel camellias, so that’s what Donatella did. Still not crazy about it, but it’s an homage to Chanel/Lagerfeld.
Totally agree, Josephine. This was probably the most boring Met Gala I’ve followed… most everyone homed in on the exactly same boring Lagerfeld tells.
Anne is slaying lately, though — she looks fierce all the time.
I gotta agree with y’all. This has been one of my least favorite themes. All the black and white with some stale pinks. Yawn.
The real Princess Anne! She looked amazing.
Kate’s dress was custom, for the occasion. I think if anyone’s entitled to wear a slipdress to this thing, she’s the one.
I think Anne won tonight. The girls really missed this year’s theme for me or maybe the theme was off, but Anne looks amazing.
Anne’s look was amazing! She looked so elegant but also edgy!
I see Donatella is still riding her brother’s coattails. Has she ever done anything that wasn’t a direct ripoff of his designs?
That’s Anne Hathaway? What did she do to her face she’s unrecognizeable?!
The dress and styling is spot on
Miranda Priestley would approve. Anne looks incredible.
Oh nooooo Donatello’s dress is so bad!! Anne looks beyond incredible and her dress is Versace x Chanel perfection.
Lila Moss is even shorter than Kate!! Surely there’s a limit even to nepo-models! Crazy they’re not wearing some vintage Chanel of Kate’s, Naomi said they were paid in clothes half the time back in the day and she has an enormous archival warehouse.
Lila is short for catwalk but she could totally do editorial. Or even catwalk, at a show where the designer is focusing on individuality, rather than every model being a nearly identical beanpole. Like Siriano, Rhianna’s lingerie line, etc
She’s incredibly pretty, but pushing her to be a model is doing her no favors.
Pushing anyone to be a model is doing them no favors. But I don’t see any pushing going on.
ANNE FOR THE WIN! My gosh, she looks incredible!!
Anne looked AMAZING. Her stepping into her glam woman era is working and I love it for her.
One of my favorites of the night – dress, hair, make-up all come together just perfect!
Is it just me or does Kate Moss’ daughter look extremely uncomfortable?
Irina Shayk’s dress has a terrible hem. I see she’s wearing flat slippers. I’m all for comfy shoes. But taking up the hem 6 inches, and doing it badly is a shame. It just draws attention to the wrong place.
I was wondering if anyone was going to come as Choupette, but Lil Nas did it better.
I wondered about Irina’s shoe/hem issue. Those look like the freebie hotel slippers you sometimes get. Maybe she had a back pain or foot issue at the last minute? The shoes that were supposed to go with the gown didn’t get delivered? It doesn’t look planned, for sure.
Anne looks great. Donatella…no.
Kate is Kate, and I have a soft spot for her and her 90’s supermodel glory. She has been through it and came out the other side still fabulous. Her daughter is a pretty girl, but pales in comparison to her mother (as a model.)
Donatella’s hair is giving me anxiety- that I can’t reach into the picture and brush her hair out of her face, ugh. That would drive me bananas. Is that one stray lock on purpose or for a “look”? Ugh. Not gonna spiral over it…but oh my god it’s buggin me.
Anne is perfection!
I can’t with Leto in the background, I guess Doja Cat kinda ruined his joke.
Anne Hathaway looks stunning, Donatella did a great job.
As for Kate, someone said she only likes wearing Galliano and I’m starting to believe it.
He’s such a knob
Kate Moss needs to stop dragging her daughter along everywhere.
Kate was a stunner. Her daughter does not have the star power.
Nepo baby.
Same with Goopy kids. And Kia Garber. And all the Beckhams including Victoria.
They are lovely kids but not model material.
Can I be the lone voice. I don’t like Anne’s dress…whereas, I really like Irina’s dress. She looks poured into it, like a 1940s star. Kate looked great, mainly because I love Fendi. Her poor daughter – Kate should step back and stop trying to make her happen; she is not model material. She did a vogue cover a year or so back, just face, and she is pretty but nothing special.
Love, love, love Anne’s look. She’s morphed into such a fashion god and I’m here for it.
The rest are boring.
Loved Anne’s whole look! The dress was stunning and whimsical at the same time and she killed in it. Why does Donatella’s make-up always makes her look like she just came out of the crypt?
Fabulous figure, though.
Irina’s dress is vintage Yohji Yamamoto. I definitely prefer her in more fierce looks.
Lagerfeld was the designer for Fendi for more than 40 years, so the connection is there. Also, Kate was pretty much synonymous with the waify slip dress look in the 90’s, so I get it.
Hi Sophie Totally agree with you re Fendi. I love Fendi and the connection is there. Kate was on script and she does floaty slips like no one else (apart from Paltrow). I really liked her look.
Irina’s dress reminds me of any bridal nightgown women wear in their wedding night.
Kate and her nepo kid both look basic. Anne was one of my favorite looks of the night.
Never understood the alleged appeal of Kate Moss, she is just a fatshaming, chainsmoking mean girl. The daughter is def not model material, but nepo babies gonna nepo. What a contrast when you compare this two with Precious Lee who is an actual godess.
Jared Leto…needs to go away.
Kate Moss is a true super model
To each their own
Precious Lee is breathtakingly beautiful. My God! She looks like a princess she’s so damn pretty. In a just world, SHE would be the Princess of Wales.
Did Donatella glue those ribbons to the midriff we don’t need to see?
Lila has an exposed middle too, maybe to keep her from overheating in shapeless fur? She’s a plain little thing & didn’t get mama’s bone structure or sparkle.
Leto’s Choupette is perfectly tongue-in-cheek. Kudos.
Anne’s shoes wreck it for me. Boooo!
I do feel bad for Kate Moss’ daughter because I think she knows she will never shine on her own as a model without her mom boosting her up. She honestly doesn’t HAVE to be a model. I hope she knows that. IMO, she should really try to find out who she is and what she loves. Then do it. She has the resources to explore a myriad of things that interest her. She doesn’t have to live up to her mom.
Someone pointed out that Anne always makes a point of naming her stylists and hair and makeup people — giving them the full credit. Which is lovely.
