Katy Perry walked the Met Gala red carpet with a new pixie cut that looks suspiciously like the wig she sported on April Fool’s Day. Some people think it’s a real cut, but I’m calling it a wig. Her dress is Moschino, straight off the runway. Does she fit the evening’s theme with this grafitti print and oodles of ruffles? Not really, but she stuck with her own quirky style and managed not to appropriate. Baby steps, y’all! Plus her clutch arrives in the shape of a spray paint can. I think she looks gaudy, but she usually throws that vibe. This dress is better than most of us expected from Katy last night.
Olivia Wilde captured the gala’s punk theme a few years too late in this pink prada number with grey leather gloves. She’s ridiculously bejeweled, but you can tell that she loves what she’s wearing.
Katie Holmes also tried to fake a haircut, but this ‘do is definitely a wig. For a Zac Posen gown, this is surprisingly unstructured. The faint cloud pattern at the bottom of the skirt fits the gala’s theme.
Kristen Wiig went super casual in a drapey, yellow Prabal Gurung gown. This dress had a lot of fabric that overwhelmed Kristen. Everyone said she was so nice on the red carpet, which isn’t surprising.
Sienna Miller aimed for the theme but came up with a matador vibe in this embellished, red Thakoon number. Tasselled earings matched her black belt detail, and Sienna remembered the most important accessory of all — a hefty dose of double-sided tape.
Alexa Chung wore an Erdem with its trademark pockets. This dress was better in motion, and the fabric was dreamy. Her shoes gave an unexpected pop of color.

Katy Perry’s “look” is getting old. Love Katie Holmes Hair-hate the dress and what happened to Olivia Wild…. not a good look either. Dont these people have stylists or a honest best friend?
in Olivia’s case her stylist is one of her best friend.
Madonna and Katy arrived together, both in Moschino gowns, kind of like twins that are fraternal as far as the gowns were similar as far as the same black material, but not identical in design.
Love Alexa’s dress. She’s on theme but it’s still in line with her personal style.
I love it too
I like it, too. It was more appropriate for a ball than many of the looks, and was fun to boot.
Same. Hers is the only look in this group that doesn’t give me a heaping pile of “meh.”
I like it for this event.
Love it. It’s one of my favorites so far.
Best dressed I think
Not a fan of Katy’s dress. She’s just too tacky and gaudy for me.
Really disappointed all around this year. Rihanna and SJP seem to be the only two who had fun and “brought it”.
I share your overall disappointment and appreciation for the fun and whimsy brought by these two.
Katie Holmes looks great in her gown.
I loved it, too. It was beautiful from the back especially. I love her hair – I hope it’s not a wig, especially since the hair cut pictures that she released will make me think she’s as tacky and thirsty as Kardashian with her fake hair dye pictures. Katie desperately needed a new look, and she was really the surprise of the night for me. I thought she looked modern for once.
I think Katie Holmes looks amazing. Love her hair and dress.
She really does look gorgeous! Hers is my favorite look of the evening.
Well played, Ms. Holmes. Well played.
Agreed!
Sienna Miller looks more like a bullfighter, lol.
Alexa Chung and Katie Holmes for the win on this page.
Katy Perry’s dress looks cheap, and by that I mean a really inexpensive jersey knit knock-off thingy. The form/style is too Mae West, the tagging would have been cute on a short dress, or some other style.
katy’s wig looks like a muskrat died on her head
katie’s wig looks like it came from the dollar store at halloween
olivia looks like she is wearing the bug dress from hairspray
but im not just a naysayer, i love alexa’s dress
Best Wiig has ever looked, IMO.
Speaking of Erdem pocket dresses, Lord Otter and his otter bride weren’t there…
And I believe Lord Otter was on the list of attendees, no?
Maybe Sophie had the otter baby?
I loved the soft yellow dress. It didn’t seem to really fit the theme and wasn’t all that fancy, but it moved really well. She looked pretty and the color was great.
I like it too. I rarely like the stuff she chooses, but this is one I can get on board with.
I think Katie Holmes’ floral pattern at the bottom of the skirt is actually traditional Chinese cloud painting. It’s a nice twist plus I don’t see anyone else using that symbol.
Thank you. It is a cloud design. Drove me nuts that no one corrected that.
I like the fabric on Alexa’s dress, but it looks like a hoop skirt.
They all look terrible.
I like sienna but she looks awful here. Not a good look at all.
Olivia looks awful.
Agreed. I didn’t even recognize her until I noticed Jason Sudeikis. I just don’t know what is going on there.
Katy Perry was Only appropriate if the theme was “Assholes” or ” Myley Cyrus Lsd Fevered Dream” Otherwise No
Lol How can Katie Holmes consistently look so bad and old?? is like a squandering of the natural gifts she mightcould have
I Think Alexa Chung wins this hand
I like Katie’s dress and I think her hair is cute, I wish she would cut it that way for real.
Punk theme was last year i think that dress would have been perfect then not this year.
I loved Katie Holmes dress.
Moschino will be like Ed Hardy five years from now.
Katie Perry’s dress was meh but I love her pixie cut.
I literally fell in love with Katie’s nails Moschino look killed it plus the short hair looks great on her,,I loved katy outfit was great…
