Bey’s dress was nice…but…Sarah Jessica Parker was best dressed!
man but come on beyonce looked better than anybody there. i dont get it. they just all couldnt find anything to wear. oh well~!!!! TEAM BEYONCE !!!
OH I LOVE HOW NO ONE CARES ABOUT ALICA OR JLO…….. WELL LADIES I CAN TELL YOU KNOW IF BEYONCE IS IN THE SAME ROOM AS YOU 2 THEN YOU WILL NEVER BE NOTICED SO GO TO DIFFERENT PARTIES, LOL
Because Alicia looked like a GRANNY. Not feeling Bey dress,I wonder how long she was holding her breath for. and scared to sit just in-case it teared.
Just in case it TORE:) lol. And J.Lo dress is the best. Chanel Iman needs to put some sort of effort,that is horid
I saw this on Tv. Beyonce couldn’t walk up the stairs with that dress, Jay-Z and their bodyguard had to lift her up. lol
Beyonce looks like she wants to leap in the ocean and swim into the night
LOL!!!!
lol…I know…she looks like a mermaid..lol…thats my girl tho
Beyonce’s dress is tacky, Pucci should be ashamed it looks like some House of Dereon mess. Expected so much more from Rihanna, that look is just weak. None of these even stand out to me, Iman and Jennifer Lopez are best of a bad bunch. Cassie needs to GTFO! I can’t believe she turned up wearing that cheap ass dress, did someone drop out last minute and she got to go? Smh! Christina Ricci slayed! Her dress was just incredible, wonderful, exquisite! She took the cake for me. Overall the fashion was so underwhelming
If Iman and Jlo look the best to you, I can understand why you say Bey’s dress was tacky, you obviously dont know a lot about fashion and the very event they were attending! It was supposed to be celebrating MCQUEEN, Beyoncé did honor to him cause this dress is not only exquisite, but it was extremely reminescent of mcqueen, theatrical and over the top.
@WTHELL
I know about the event hun, and Beyonce is way off because McQueen would never make such a horrible, yes, TACKY looking dress. From the way it fits, the over the top and shoddy house of Dereon looking embroidery, the fishtail, the neckline and that neck business…Alexander McQueen would NEVER! Ugh! It looks like Tina Knowles wanted pay homage and this is what she came up with. And miss Tina is the queen of tack. Christina Ricci, Gisele and Diane Kruger >>> Beyonce’s look. Those three ladies dresses looked exquisite, EXPENSIVE, dramatic without looking over the top and tacky and most of all glamorous. Beyonce tried and she failed, my opinion and you will deal with it. Ps I love Beyonce but have no problem saying she looks a mess.
Then you dont know about mcqueen, sorry, advice for you, check his latest fall winter collection and you’ll see what Im talking about. Christina Ricci was amazing and like Beyoncé & Naomi, had something a lil over the top, giselle and diane played it very safe like everyone else. Now it’s all about different opinions I guess but I think Bey’s dress was the most appropriate for the night. Once again, google McQueen lastest collection. Girl bye.
How does beyonce dress look tacky ? Im not a fan of her neither am i a hater but her dress WASS AMAZINGGGG…its sad how yall say & do anything to hate on this woman
SORRY THAT DRESS WAS UGLY , HER SISTER LOOKED BETTER , AND BEYONCE TRY’S TO HARD , HER HUSBAND LOOK GOOD !
Beyonce looked absolutely breath taking..her dress screams Mcqueen any one that disagrees does not know a thing about OVER THE TOP HIGH FASHION…I bet she had the lady boys faintin..lol!! And Rihanna…gorgeous face & dress but those earrings & shoes just made her whole ensemble look cheap
Who those shoes by neway??….Jessica Simpson?? LOL!!
Oh yes and John legend’s wife lookd gorgeous as well…and Ciara..girl bye!! LMAO…Lala isnt that one of the dresses u planned to get married in? LOL…Alicia&Swizz Beak=YUCK!! Two Non factors…NEXT!!! Cassie Boo this is not the Mortal Kombat tryouts…lol try again. Janelle Love u girl but plz change ur outfit my goodness. Its as if that outfit is her 2nd skin. Solange what genie did u rob that carpet from? keri hilson actually looks classy for a change like a real woman, keep this look up and we might believe you
LOL wow she read the females.. lmfao @ Cassie but I honestly think Beyonce had one of the best dresses there. Her and Jay really looked like a couple and J-Lo and Marc looked stunning as well and I love Keri Hilson’s dress but hated the hair. Rihanna might as well take her damn clothes off , she is always revealing but yeah true shit. most looked the part and the rest failed from start.
Rihanna looks so CUTE !!!!
JLO look’s good !!!
BEY LOOKS LOL HAH HAHA !! TACKY AS HELL
You guys are late!
I see so many flops that Im starting with them:
FLOP: rihanna (hair and shoes are not doing it with that dress),
Alicia Keys (no comment)
Cassie (is never really classy at the MET)
Serena (too much going on)
Frida Pinto (no comment)
Solange (dractic downgrade, hair, make up are awful)
Janelle Monae (wearing the same everywhere, expectation equals reality)
Iman (could have done a better job and switch it up)
BEAUTIFUL AND BORING:
all the rest the big dresses and the simpletons, jennifer hudson, lala, keri, ciara, mary, fergie, jessica, blake, zoe, chanel, nicole and everyone else
TOP:
Christine Teigen
Naomi
Beyoncé, understood it was a high profile event, honoring alexander mcqueen, she kept the hair simple so the dress could shine, the dress was everything mcqueen represented, over the top, theatrical, dramactic, Im surprised its pucci! beautiful simple make up, amazing body, splendid!
ciara could have had her hair differently and simply so the dress could have more attention,hair is all over the place; keri’s hair and make up are terrible; jennifer hudson tried too hard, kanye has make up or is asleep? j.lo looks like a damn fool, too much red, jay needs a haircute, bruno is so damn short I can understand the hair is as high…
lol…I was thinking the same thing…Janelle Monae stay wearing that Charlie Chaplin stuff….no variety..lol
I THINK BEYONCE WAS TACKY AND LOOKED LIKE A FOOL
- RIH LOOKED AWESOME , SHE DRESSED HER AGE AND HAD FUN .
- JLO OVER DRESSED , BUT LOOKED OKAY .
- SOLONGE LOOKED OKAY .
- JENNIFER HUDSON LOOKED AWESOME , AND FREASH .
YOUR A FLOP!!! OR JUST A RETARD ,,,EVERYONE’S IN LOVE WITH RIH LOOK .
BEY IS A BIG FLOP , ARE YOU WORKING FOR HER ????
JENNIFER HUDSON LOOKED AWESOME !!!
i like rhianna dress
Alicia Keys looked like Mom-Mom…what is going?
Janelle is such a gorgeous girl.
Janelle is such a gorgeous girl. JLO is bad.
Iman slaaayyysss once again.
WTH is Joy Bryant wearing?
First off let me say this I like all artist however someones opinion is someones opinion..so sthere should not be any arguments! RiRi could have done waay better I think she looked a mess for her to be a fashionista! Miss Keys! Wtf happend hunny? Who told her that was cute! Ciara….girl get off the red carpet………BEY! I am a bey stan however the dress was not all that bad however it wasn’t all that cute! She looked very uncomfortable whiched kinda took away how really the dress looked! However she has the figure for it and everybody can’t wear a dress like that and make it look good so her dress to me was so so!
CIARA LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL AND THE DRESS IS STUNNING!
Rihanna could’ve done way better. She has such great taste in fashion. Her face and hair were gorgeous, but the dress was just ok/sexy.
I like Bey’s dress, but she looked so stupid when she could hardly walk up the red carpeted steps bc it was to tight!
J.Lo is putting younger chicks to shame! She looks amazing and prettier than ever.
Janelle is beautiful to me. Such cute facial features, and I like her quirky, pseudo masculine fashion sense.
Everyone looked really decent overall.
SHE WAS HAVING FUN WITH HER LOOK , THAT’S WHY I LIKE HER SHE’S NOT INTO FOLLOWING PPL .
Beyonce!!!!! #thatisall
Love Rihanna’s braid, but the color makes her look like the little mermaid!
Overall impression : everyone tried to be very classy, but some it gets too “prom night”.
Nice to see those celebrities pictured in a museum for a change…
J.Lo KILLED it!!!
Alicia Keys dress was the worst, IMO.
CIARA WOW
CIARA WOW
CIARA WOW
CIARA LOOKED AWESOME !!
Umm is it just me or is J.Hud starting to look more & more like Brandy ???
- SHE DOES A LITTLE BUT NOT TO MUCH , AND SHE LOOKED OUTSTANDING .
It’s a shame Beyonce’s dress was too tight for her to walk up the steps unassisted. Inexcusable for both the designer and whoever thought this was OK.
Tamara Mellon, Thandie Newton and Freida Pinto, in my opinion was the best dressed, because it wasn’t over the top.
rihanna and that forehead…sexy…lol..Uggs Giving Away Stuff After PETA called them out.. http://goo.gl/OeFMB to Get Consumers to Support them….haha got 2 pair!
Kerry Washington, OMG attractive!! She is petite and similar height like me so the dress would look nice on me as well; the color of the dress is gorgeous.
Freida Pinto, the dress is unique and me likey. And she is attractive also.
Rihanna – does she not own a mirror at all? The red thing on top of her head is horrible! Ursula???
Iman – I thought she was a drag queen.
Beyonce – definitely has on some sorta body shaper
Lala – I kind of like.
Rashida Jones – how boring.
Keri – what is on top of her head??
Janelle Monae – booringg
oh and the best dressed female is definitely Christine Teigen – loove her look from hair to heels and best dressed male goes to the man beside her, her boyfriend, John Legend. Best dressed couple.

Hey! I was there today! Only museum members (which i’m not
) were allowed a pre screening of the Steve Mcqueen show…
Most folks look nice.
Steve McQueen? Are you fucking kidding me =S
Yea, wanted to add i wasn’t at the gala, just at the met earlier in the day to see Cezanne.
noooooo rihanna those shoes do not go with that dress…leave them back at the strip club!
however hair looks good and face as pretty as usual
Rihanna Is Hot! Period.
Wow don’t like any of the outfits. Kerry Washington looked really pretty as usual but her dress was too plain. Mary J should wear long sleeves the tat on the arm is so unclassy.
WOW!! What happened to Keri H?? She was so pretty =(
Everybody looks really good. Really love Beyonce’s dress, along with Fergie, and JHud.
so keri hilson thinks she beyonce now huh?! slopy weave + bleached skin= FAIL
iman loks like rupaul in her pic
hmmm. sorry. While Bey’s dress gave a slight nod to McQueen it failed the video i say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZWYINcpPDM. she couldn’t walk up the steps in it. and i do believe i’ve seen this dress or same style of dress on her not that long ago…black velvet??? just from these pics…JLo took it. the red was fresh and striking. and the shoulder piece delightful…with hair pulled back and the punchy red lip…child…please.
Thandie looks so lovely and elegant.
John Legend’s girl looks very classy, sexy, and is one of the best dressed.
Skeri Hilson is always awkward looking in the face, but her dress is nice and she looks better than Beyonce.
This is such a random mix of people! You got a bunch of washed up has beens, Z listers, and A listers… wth?
Beyonce- YOU STANS REALLY NEEDS TO STOP ALREADY! That dress looks tacky! It really does look like it came from her House of Dereon collection! Plus, it’s 2 sizes too small for her! She looks like she’s about to burst out. That boring hair don’t and her plain makeup are awful. There is nothing beautiful or flawless about her. She and Jay look like any ol black folk attending an event. BTW, stop it already with the light skinned comments, Beyonce is tan/bronze now.
LMFAO at Cassie! She looks so butch! That girl is not attractive anymore and has no body!
JNO, I don’t like that red with her pale skin. I see what she was going for, a classic, striking, couture look, but it just shows her age.
CERROR…. Who invited you? That weave, lace wig…. Whatever it is, is annoying. It weighs like 25 pounds! She looks like a man in a dress.
Speaking men in dresses, og my word at Solange. That girl is fugly and she was definitely the worst dress of the night!
Mr. West is always looking good, whether in a tux or tee shirt.
Why, oh why does Jay-Z’s hair look like he hopped out of bed and threw on a tux? He coulda sprayed on a texturizer, something, anything…hell!
Solange. Uh huh.
UMMMMM SO NONE OF YALL NOTICED THAT HER NAME IS JENNIFER LOPEZ NOT JENNIFER HUDSON. SMH
He Looks Real Good!!
