Taylor Momsen Takes On Opera

Taylor Momsen Takes On Opera

Gossip Girl sweetheart Taylor Momsen successfully busts out a new look at the Metropolitan Opera’s 125th season opening night gala at the Lincoln Center Plaza on Monday in New York City.

The 15-year-old actress looked glamorous from head to toe in a sweeping red Marchesa gown with tiered ruffles. Earlier in the day, Taylor was seen looking much edgier in casual wear–leather vest, rolled-up denim shorts and ankle booties. She sipped on some Red Bull and also munched on a muffin while strolling through the SoHo neighborhood of NYC.

FIRST! :) she looks so pretty… i like her dress!

# 2

Remind me again why we are being told that the 90210 girls are too skinny but the Gossip Girl girls are healthy and “meatier”…?

# 3

the cut of the dress is way to low for my taste

# 7

She is very pretty but I don’t think a 15 year old should look like that. Too revealing

# 8

Uhh… she’s 15 yrs old and she’s wearing a strapless push-up your bosom dress?? Doesn’t she have parents? Do they care at all about her??

# 9

ew. this girl always look SO whoreish these days! her parents as so freakin effed in the head!

she looks like shes 30. her parents must be SO proud

red lipstick is so trashy

Taylor is the only scary skinny girl on Gossip Girl. That’s why 90210 is worse. They have at least 3 scary skinny.

can’t believe i’m older than her :O

she looks ano

Same here

Right now, I look younger than her

Beautiful look—-but WAAAAY to much for her age. Doesn’t she have parents or someone to guide her?

Oh come on people, she looks gorgeous!

Obviously you haven’t ever been to the Met, because this dress is fairly par for the course for the opening night gala, even for a 15 year old.

She looks fabulous, so haters stop hatin’!

How old is she again? 15? Why is she dressing at least a decade older than her age complete with cleavage? What happened to cute sweet 15 dressing like any cute sweet 15? Is this the new trend perhaps?

Firstly Jenny is too skinny maybe not as bad as some of the 90210 girls but she still is. Her parents need to have a word with her. Secondly she is only 15, why are they making her look way too old for her age. I have a bad feeling about her in hollywood and her parents need to step in and remind people that this girl is only 15. She has gone from the sweet, 15yr old girl next door image to trashy, on the verge of a history of substance abuse, overtly sexy, rock chick in her 20s/30s. She seems like a sweet kid lets hope people remember that and allow her to be her age for a while.

too pale!!!

hilary, it’s true that people dress to the nines at the Met Opera but not a 15 year old. They dress appropriately for their age. This child looks 30 year old. WHY do these young stars want to look like that? And wear all that make up?? I don’t understand.

My gosh..
She totally freaks me out…

she looks hot, **** all you conservative *******.

ok, I’m 15 too (in 4 months 16, btw) and I just don’t grasp that girl’s sense of…of apropiatness at all!

I mean I feel uncomfortable wearing a low-cut t-shirt in summer and here we have a kid my age showing off her strapless dress and obiously a push-up bra! and god, that make-up! i siriously can’t imagine what she naturally looks like!

I’ve never watched a single episode of ‘Gossip-Girl’ but that Taylor-kid is getting on my nerves!

wait shes only 15? crap i would have said she is 25 that dress is incredibly ugly and i have the feeling that the trend involving this red carpet disaster will be to stay away from this frumpy frock.

she has an awesome style and is really really beautiful and all pretty! love u taylor, u rock!!

SOMEONE CALL CPS!!!!

that dress is amazingggg, her makeup is prettty, but everythings not right for her age, she’s 15!

im sorry but girls that are 15 should not show off cleavage.

Speaking as a mom of a 15 year old, that dress would be on the “no way” pile in the dressing room, also known as the “over my dead body” pile.

That dress in one arm movement away from a fashion malfunction.

she is totally channeling Erin Wasson…a model/designer thats 25ish just a little older than this tweenster. She is trying too hard on the street and too grown up on the red-carpet. Is that dress Marchesa? It’sjust too sophisticated for her age..and yes she is scary skinny!

SHE’S GORGEOUS..SO PRETTY..BEAUTIFUL..

SKINNY..??..NEVER..VERY NORMAL FOR HER AGE..

IF U SAY SHE’S SO SKINNY..U R VERY FAT..!!

HER SKIN .. UNBELIEVABLE..!!

the real emma lee @ 09/23/2008 at 11:13 am

I am not so sure that she is too skinny. She is only 15. Many 15 year olds are very thin. She has filled out in certain places and they have accentuated that and the rest will fill out in time.

She just turned 15 this past July 23!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At that age most young girls have more boobs than brains and it is the parents’ responsibility to guide them in the right direction. Young teens don’t quite understand what messages they are sending.

i still hate that hair…

shes hasnt looked this good in along time! total upgrade

you people need to realize that this is a new generation of young people and they dress more mature and I thinks she looks fabalous

Every time I see her now, she manages to look worse than the previous time. What a waste! She used to be so cute and looking her age…

c’mon!! she looks awful, the dress is pretty, but she’s just strange!

I should bring up the word “compensating”. I definitly think the dress is a little too revealing for a girl her age, but I think the fact that it’s floor length definitely compensates for the diving neck line.

Plus, Taylor Momsen is a 14 year old girl trapped in an 18 year old’s body. It must e hard to find wholesome clothes, unlike Miley Cyrus, who’s a 16 year old trapped in a 15 year old body, yet she still manages to fins inappropriate clothes.

And to everyone calling Taylor “scary skinny”, the girl is 15 and 5″4. She’d have to eat 5 cheeseburgers a day to keep fat on that physique.

i used to think she was really pretty but honestly, not anymore. =/

15???
she’s gross

GEEZ.
Can i have her boobs?

I have more innocence and less veins than this ‘15′ yrs old, and I am 27.
Jeesus, is her mother not concerned about all the pervs and pedos out there and letting her daughter go out of the house showing this much boobs??? Is she really 15? What is she trying to prove by all this skin show? The girl is craving wrong kinda attention.

Shes my age!
and she went to the MET opera!
and I perform in operas!

SO I LOVE HER :)

how old are most of you commenters? because that is not a lot of cleavage for a 15 year old.. especially one in show biz! girls are maturing a lot earlier than back in the day and her dress is totally appropriate now. and yeah she’s skinny.. she’s a model!

ok if she’s not “so skinny” there’s really something wrong…because the part of her shoulders and neck they joint extremly weird, adn look at her arms in the 4th picture they look like uhm i don’t know haven’t you seen Teri hatcher’s arms lately? … ok maybe not at that extreme but there’s seriosly something wrong. Come on just look at dakota fanning she’s healthy skinny” if there’s something like that or I don’t know does taylor can’t see her co-stars leighton an blake! they’re are not starving to dead and showing everything and if they are showing anything they are old enough.

ah and other thing at least if she wants to be conisder a mature person she shuold be acting her age and if she wants to look older she should stand and walk straight not like she does with that dress

that dress is dreamy but taylor looks so weird!
she’s changed so fast in no time!
where did those boobs come from? O_o

Her hair looks fake.
Look at the hairline.
And she looks messed up

Notmyrealname @ 09/23/2008 at 8:22 pm

When you peak at 15, wtf will 30 look like? That kids has some rough road to travel. I can see it not… poor thing.

if you have watch the earlier shows of gossip girl she was always thin but she is getting horrifyingly skinny.

it’s looks like she’s developing an eating disorder, it’s pretty sad. when u can see the lines of someone’s tendons in their arms and it looks all stringy rather than healthy it’s always such a giveaway.

I agree with #51 the first episodes of gossip girl she look just fine more like her age at least and pretty! no she looks anything but pretty!

um. she needs to eat. she’s only fifteen!

that haircut makes her face look weird!!!!!!

As someone who’s suffered from anorexia, I can pick out some really alarming things in this picture. The dress is a bit low cut, but I can understand being propelled a little further into maturity by her involvement on the show. But those severely protruding collarbones and stick-legs are not natural, even if she is, say, eating healthy foods and working out regularly. I’d noticed she was thin on the show, and getting thinner as it progresses, but these pictures are kinda shocking. It rmakes me so sad to see this. I hope she finds her way.

I think Taylor should grow out her hair out. She looks prettier with longer hair I think.

so looks amazing. too much maybe for a 15 year old.
But she is beautiiful.
I love the eye make up. Makes her eye pop!

lovely girl

she looks too old for her age!!!!

I’m so glad she knows how to dress her age? Ha, not. She’s such a great role model for teens out there… ha, not. Don’t we all want anorexic looking, wannabe older, fifteen year olds on tv? NO!

Do you think her parents are even with her? She is fr
om missouri and has a sibling.

This is BULLSHIT!!!

Could you imagine if Miley Cyrus wore ANY of the clothes that this ***** gets around in!?!?! Omigod it would a scandal & be front page news. But somehow she is called gorgeous etc. Ahh Newslfash!!! She looks like a cheap hooker….and a young one at that. Someone should tell her to dress like a 15 year old with Sass, not a 30 year old!! She is GROSS.

She doesn’t look comfortable in that dress and make-up. I wonder whose idea it was?

i really hate the way she dresses! is it that hard to look like a normal 15?? stop wearing blood red lipstick!! it only works in girls over 22 or Gwen Stefani!!!

hollahollavolleyballa @ 09/28/2008 at 7:48 pm

holy crap. all of you who say she looks ‘great’, do you SEE her bony/scrawny shoulders? she is wayy to skinny and i cant believe she’s only 15…i totally thought she was at least 17. everybody ******* about miley cyrus, but there should be more focus on taylor momsen…she’s just as bad in the dressing department! >:(

Honestly people? who cares.
let them do what they want
yeah shes grossly thin and she has way too much boob showing lol
but there are kids her age in waaay worse situations
and no one cares to talk about them?

bayleeeeeeee @ 10/05/2008 at 6:52 pm

pretty sure the worst part is her hair!
and have any of you guys walked into a highschool lately girls younger and younger are showing cleavage. honestly i dont see a problem this is what she get paid to do is act, she dresses the way they tell her. I am a senior in highschool and ive seen a lot worst.

Wow… that dress is gorgeous…!! I don’t understand how you can think she is dressing innapropriately… I see 12 year olds running around in mini skirts and belly tops, and you are calling this look trashy? Her parents probably think she looks gorgeous - because she does (although I am not too sure about the hair).

And for all you people saying she looks anorexic - no, she just looks healthy. Sorry to burst your bubble, but Americans are way too fat and have a skewed perception of body image. Just because the average weight of a woman is between 170-180 pounds does NOT mean it is healthy. Not obese does NOT equal anorexic.

Gahh who cares. She can dress how she wants. I know people who are skinnier and eat tons ( and dont throw up afterwards)

i think she looks beautiful.
so what if she’s showing a bit of cleavage :S
get a grip.
girls have boobs. deal with it :]]

What happened to her? She used to be so pretty, but now she looks so old. Is she anorexic or something, because she does not look healthy in these pictures.

Firstly, she’s pale.
Secondly, her collar bone is ugly! Doesn’t she own a mirror?
Third, the dress is a no. It’s ugly.
Fourth, omg! I can’t believe she’s older than me.
Fifth, apparently she’s a s-l-u-t.

EW.
wtf
shes 15…..not 20.
what a loser

like everything, but i think she wore a little bit too much makeup. But I love everything else!!
