Gabrielle Union in Michael Kors at the Met Gala: mermaid chic?


Gabrielle Union’s gorgeous ombre Micheal Kors gown fit her like a glove and made her look like a mermaid, complete with scales. Was it on theme? I can’t imagine how it was (and the MK Instagram has nothing substantive about it), unless it’s a homage to an earlier piece, but it’s pretty stunning nonetheless. It’s just an amazing gown. Dwyane Wade, or whoever dressed him, phoned it in however. This is just a lilac Versace suit with a white top! The Cartier jeweled piece along one side of the lapel is stunning though.

Rachel Zegler was also in Michael Kors, in a baby blue v-neck gown with a sparkly trailing wrap. She looks old Hollywood. This might be on theme as a reference to one of Marilyn Monroe’s gowns, judging from her Instagram stories. (I can’t find the dress online.)

Meg Ryan posed with Michael Kors and wore a mesh and sequin embellished black gown. This is lovely, if a bit boring.

Kelsea Ballerini looked awkward in this very fussy Michael Kors gown with nude sheer paneling and Mod Podge floral paste-ons. (My words obviously.) How do you take a gorgeous woman and make her look like this? She was very cute on the carpet with her boyfriend Chase Crawford though. I like them together!

Speaking of cute couples, here’s Allison Williams and Alexander Dreymon. She’s also in Michael Kors, in a graphic white and black print strapless gown with a deep neckline. This is simple but I really like it!

I’m including Eddie Redmayne and his wife, Hannah Bagshawe, because they were also in graphic black and white print looks. Their outfits are by Steve O. Smith. Eddie explained that the designer draws with charcoal and then recreates his art on his pieces. This is impressive and definitely stood out on the carpet.

    Have to agree with a previous poster on one of the other articles. It is getting to be a bit much with all the sheer stuff.

  2. Shawna says:

    The back of Kylie Minogue’s dress ruins that picture of Eddie! Yikes.

  3. K says:

    GU looks stunning. This gown reminds me of reflections from the surface of a pond.

  4. bearsephone says:

    Uhtred, son of Uhtred looks 🔥🔥🔥
    Love this look on both of them!

  5. Flamingo says:

    I feel like GU was going for a water theme. It takes water for a garden to grow. But it’s giving mermaid to me.

  6. GunnSof says:

    I’m embarrassed that I even know this, but is Chase Crawford a typo because that really don’t look like the Gossip girl actor? But than again, I needed to scroll back up to look for Uhtred. Never thought I would say it for a man, but he’s just too pretty without the long hair!

    • Kate says:

      My exact reaction too. Is that really him???

      Eta: I googled and her date is Chase Stokes. We are not going crazy

      • Flamingo says:

        Thank you, I was wondering if Chase C. had gone under the knife for some jaw line plastic surgery.

        CB must have Chase Crawford on the brain since The Boys season premiere is next month lol.

    • Kimmy says:

      I barely recognized Uhtred. Can someone cast him in something though? Bc he was great.

  7. sparrow says:

    When I think Michael Kors I think cheap and tacky. Rachel’s gown, however, is lovely.

  8. QuiteContrary says:

    Gabrielle Union looks incredible. I love that gown. She and her husband are such lovely people. I wish they had brought their daughter Zaya — she would have ruled the Met.

  9. Josephine says:

    Eddie’s look is a top 5 in my book. Doesn’t hurt that his jaw line is amazing. He’s selling that look!

  10. Lulu says:

    Thank you for including Meg Ryan. I missed the coverage yesterday and when I searched online I didn’t see a pic of her, I didn’t even know she was there. Gabrielle & Rachel wore the winners of this group IMHO.

  11. Glamarazzi says:

    Eddie is one of the few men who broke away from “boring suit in a pastel color” and for that I give him and Steve O. Smith credit.

  12. Arwen says:

    I don’t think Dwayne phoned it in at all. The suite compliments her dress and picks up on all the purple at the top. This was clearly coordinated.

    Also I always love to see a man rock a suit in colors such as pink, purple or yellow.

  13. AngryJayne says:

    To see Alexander Dreymon go from a Viking to this is just… disappointing.

    That’s all.

  14. JFerber says:

    Gabrielle Union’s look was fantastic. Surprised, happily, to see her with her husband. I thought/heard there was some trouble between them because he was seeing another woman (again). I’d seen her apart from him a lot and with their daughters Kaavia and Zaya. This is the first in a long time I’ve seen them together. That said, I’ve always liked them together and I love how she supports the kids, especially the girls.

  15. Sydneygirl says:

    Say what with Eddie’s masculinity!?

    Wow, just wow.

    Whew Barbie1 that’s a lot of negativity there babe
