Here are some photos from last night’s Time Magazine “100 Most Influential People” Gala in NYC. This is not a fashion event. You can tell because the fashion is AWFUL and because Sen. Rand Paul was there. Sen. Paul is on the list… and Claire Danes is not. Claire was there to honor Lena Dunham, I think? Anyway, Claire wore this Lanvin dress which I had to examine very closely. Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve starting to think that Lanvin really sucks. Much like Erdem, it’s become a really overrated label and this dress is a good example why. Claire can wear all kinds of looks and pull them off – she’s just got that kind of body and face. But even she can’t pull off this fugness. It’s like they were trying to make a hideous dress and Claire is trying to be avant-garde by wearing it. Her husband looks cute though!
Here’s Lena Dunham in Saint Laurent. This just looks awful on her. I think I’m starting to “get” what she’s aiming for, style-wise, but I wish she would rethink the look she’s failing to pull off. Instead of going for some twee hipster look, I wish she would aim for “classic, flattering”. I do think her hair looks sort of cute here though.
Padma Lakshmi in… an optical illusion dress (I can’t find the ID). The dress is bad enough, but her styling just seems meh. What’s with her hair?
Olivia Munn in Michael Kors. I had to do a double-check to make sure Olivia wasn’t included on Time’s Most Influential list. She’s not on the list. Thank God. Her Kors dress is terrible.
Tracy Anderson AAARRGH!!!

Claire!!! Looks alright. I am itching for Homeland already!!!!
when is Homeland returning? I miss it too.
Not until September, apparently :/
Kaiser…. I couldn’t find the earlier post re Clare Danes being pregnant but I was shocked to read that you thought this might affect the filming of Homeland 2?!?!? – I watched the full 2nd series about 3 months ago, downloaded from the UK iTunes website (admittedly you can’t get it on the US site as I checked but I’m guessing that’s because it’s not been shown there yet?) but filming finished eons ago – I was waiting for series 3!! It’s great by the way everyone, but a little far fetched at the end x
I know that lately Lanvin has been sending out some bad dresses to celebs but Alber Albaz is a really good designer. I think his best dresses lately have been on Emma Stone. Ricardo Tisci for Givenchy has the same problem: some of their clothes translate from the runway properly.
But I agree, everyone here looks horrible.
I love that necklace, tho. WHAT is going on with Padma’s face!?
Too heavy on the Botox, makes her face look very wonky.
I don’t know why, but I really don’t like Olivia at all.
Agree, too try hard
Please don’t tell me Tracy was on the list?!
Tracy Anderson is the epitomization of a backstabbing person.
Bad dresses all around.
Why does that Tracey person always look so…odd?
I’ve always noticed that. I wonder if it’s the short neck? Or her leg to torso ratio? Her head looks too big for her shoulders/body? There’s something off…
I find it ironic that the so called celebrity workout guru has such a strange looking body.
She looks somewhat less odd here, probably because she is not standing next to goop, who despite her flaws, has a lovely well proportioned body.
Is that her post-pregnancy weight I spy in the first photo?
Seeing Olivia Munn makes me miss The Newsroom 😀 I can’t wait for Season 2!
I noticed that, too. Weird, because she looked really thin immediately after giving birth. Could be three things: 1. bad angle for photo (she’s looks like she has a tummy as well as put weight on her legs), 2. she’s preggers again, or 3. she dropped weight quickly after the birth but then later put some on.
With my first daughter, I was several pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight within 2 weeks after birth. Fast forward three months to when I went back to work and I put on A TON of weight…that’s still on 5.5 years later.
I think Lena Dunham looks cute here (this even though I can’t stomach her on Girls). The others look terrible. There are no words for the hideous Tracy Anderson.
I can’t take Lena Dunham anymore. She’s a terrible dresser and no one seems to like her that much, except for a**holes.
Everyone else looks pretty terrible too. I think Olivia’s dress is the least offensive.
Hey! I like Lena Dunham and Girls and I’m not an a**hole!
I’ll agree that she usually dresses for sh*t, but she actually did OK here (just OK, not great, but that’s a step up for her)
Lena looks like a little sausage. Claire is homely at best. Kors can’t design to save his life. Padma is always lovely in my book. Tracy and Munn are smug. *meow*
these dresses, ugh. NO
I cannot stand Olivia Munn or Lena Dunham. As for Claire Danes she always gets the side eye due to her very questionable previous romantic entanglements.
Not my taste. Although Olivia Munn looks good. That’s all I have.
Tracy Anderson is…. unfortunate looking.
i check “terrible.” for almost all of them. damn, that’s a bunch of ugly dresses in one place.
And, surprisingly, none of them is a Marchesa!!!
Haha!
Tracey Anderson always looks like Munchkin to me.
Claire always looks miserable in photos.
I can’t stand Claire Danes. From the beginning, I have never seen her appeal. Blah.
Tracy Anderson!!! She looks like the troll at the bridge. Stand up girl. And the dress. I love yellow and look what you did to it.
Claire looks the best of the ladies shown here, though I don’t care much for the dress. I recently listened to the audible version of The Handmaid’s Tale that she narrated – it was fantastic. It made me miss Carrie!
Lena looks like crap. Not because she’s fat, because she is and there are plenty of cute hot fatties out there, but because you loom at the outfirt and simething was just off. Was she too pale for that the shade of the dress topped with generic black shoes? Idk. hair too masculine for such a femm dress? Maybe. Her show still is really sucky, but whatevs I
Stopped watching it.
All of these women are not attractive to me and do not dress well. I see Tracy Anderson and I want to push her over!
I like Claire Danes, but this isnt her best look. Tracy Anderson kind of creeps me out, she reminds me of the creepy troll woman in that old horror film Don’t look now.http://www.peckhampavilion.com/timbouckley.html
Shivers.
omg. HAHA. It’s the chin.
Claire is like Winona Ryder for me. Angela Chase = childhood. Can’t hate.
Love this, re: Dunham: *I wish she would rethink the look she’s failing to pull off.*
Horrid, all of them horrid.
But Claire is gorgeous and so is Hugh. Pretty pair.
Yellow should only be seen on ducklings.
I’m telling you, Lena does poor fashion on purpose. If she truly didn’t care abut fashion, would she be wearing such pricy outfits? Saint Laurent is not cheap.
