Lupita Nyongo in Prada at the 2014 Met Gala: insane, terrible or avant-garde?

These two ladies are kind of my choices for the worst fashion disasters of the evening. And I haven’t even looked at all of the women, but OH MY GOD. Lupita Nyong’o wore Prada for the 2014 Met Gala, and this is how it turned out. My opinion on Prada in general: while I loved Lupita’s ice-blue Prada gown at this year’s Oscars, I generally think Prada needs to get out of the gown business. Prada almost always has darting issues, tailoring issues, color issues and now we can add one more complaint: sometimes Prada veers into a complete clusterwhoops of insanity.

I can’t even begin to unpack all the WRONG in Lupita’s look. Part of it is that she’s styled poorly, which wouldn’t be a crime except for the fact that Lupita almost always looks stunning and occasion-appropriate. This is neither. A brown tank dress underneath a neon-green bejeweled net… WITH FEATHERS?!?!!?!?!?! With a bejeweled headpiece. And old-lady shoes. And a matching clutch. What the sh-t were her stylists smoking when they looked at this and said, “Fabulous”?

As for Lena Dunham in this Giambattista Valli. She’s just trolling us, isn’t she? The bangs, the awful dress, not being able to find figure-flattering clothes. It’s really not that difficult, you know. You just have to choose a designer who isn’t known for designing short, puffy party dresses for Jessica Biel. Look at Jessica Biel’s body, Lena. Did you think you would be able to wear the same kind of silhouette as Biel?!
