People truly are in costumes.
Whats with all the wacky outfits?
Kate looks like she’s dressed for a funeral…
She looks good…
How many funerals have you attended with the skirt cut open to the thigh? LOL I think she looks quite elegant and classic.
I think she looks beautiful even in that so-so dress.
Finally, I think we have a winner! I love the dress. However, I don’t understand why she wore her hair down, it should have been worn up in a chignon. Her hair is obstructing the main detail of the garment which is the delicate stain trimmed collar.

She attends every year she has nothing better to do .
I think this is my favorite dress/hair/make-up.
@ #2 Not every dress that is black automatically means its funeral wear, I think its a very classy and sophisticated dress.
Very nice, Kate! Black is definitely one of your best colors! I love your hair worn down like this in soft waves, slightly parted on the side. Very elegant. It reminds me just a bit of Lauren Bacall. The dress looks beautiful on you. I like the combination of sheer floral mesh lace and solid fabric panels. The scalloped lace collar is a nice touch on the neckline. Your jewelry is kept simple but still has impact. Your make up is lovely - especially that perfect shade of red lipstick. It’s not too strong and not washed out.
Perfect!
You look absolutely lovely here, Kate. I mean than sincerely! The hair, make up and dress are all lovely.

I cannot stand Stella McCartney.
She is nasty and her clothes are always under par.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pathetic is the one who is not invited but rather bought her way in. Kate pulled the dress well.
Stella McCartney is getting away with murder in the fashion industry.
What is going on?
She looks absolutely stunning, doesn’t she? Classic look, black is always in style. She gets invited every year by great designers. I call that respect in the industry.
Gorgeous dress! Perfect with the blonde hair and red lips. Classic!
yeah i agree with anon. great makeup. good finger wave barrel curls, and also the stella is never wrong. good on her.
Kate looks beautiful in her Stella, but what is Stella wearing? Eiw.
one word………………..GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She’s attends every year because she is invited by the top designers in the fashion world. Pretty remarkable considering she’s an actress and not even a full time model.
She looks lovely btw, Go Kate!
beautiful. one of the best dressed of the night.
kate bosworth is a class act beautiful as always!
kate hudson is a stupid huge mouth attention ***** as always
Kate looks gorgeous! Hair, makeup and dress are all perfect, very elegant, very classy. I wish we also had pictures of her with James, they’re such a beautiful couple.
I’m usually not a huge fan of her style, but she has the Old Hollywood glam down pat here and looks beautiful.
She looks great. Beautiful and sophisticated
So far from the pictures i’m seeing at tfs, these girls are the standout for me…
Claudia Schiffer
Daria Werbowry
Gisele Bundchen
Chanel Iman
Kate Bosworth
Kate was pretty, very classic. Miranda was there but nobody seemed to care much because real models were attending the event. Oh yeah what a trashy outfit Miranda wore too. How unclassy of her to wear at a formal event.

Best look of the night! Classy, glamorous, perfection. Good for her.
This dress was pure tacky.

But Kate looked really nice, the makeup and dress was classic.
Kate looks good and most posters at a very prominent fashion agrees on Kate’s sense of style.
A bit info..
According to an article, Bar was invited by Vogue. Quite ironic that she never posed for that kind of magazine. Also sad that most of the supermodels and topmodels are not present on this year’s MET.
Beautiful..best dressed by far, she looks amazing
Beautiful dress, gorgeous hairdo (love the waves!). Sleeves should have been longer and not 3/4 of the hand.
But overall- stunning!
This is how a movie star looks like.
Quiet…you’re giving JJ a hint…
Based on the pictures, I’ve noticed that a lot of designers, models, and actresses who are written on the invited list are absent from the event and a lot who are not written on the invited list are present …
WEIRD
she’s so beautiful, especially her eyes.
Kate really looks beautiful in her Stella Mccartney dress. Most of the posters at The Fashion Spot say that Kate is one of the best dressed in the event.
OMG
I also saw pictures of one of my fave model Doutzen, she’s being invited by Philip Lim. Too bad Adriana couldn’t make it to the event.
Spectacular! That’s the look of a movie star.
she looks really beautiful. but i dunno…im not really feeling this look for her…she’s young and shouldve worn something more fun like last year. but she still looks good and she took a risk.
I think her dress is gorgeous but the fun was probably creating that 1940s Hollywood/ Veronica Lake look.

All the Kates are so beautiful at the event except for Kate Moss lol
hahhaa, bruce willis looks like he’s about to drool at the back of pic 3!
BEST DRESSED! she looks AMAZING!!!! I want her hair!
Where is fame hungry Bloom and his even hungrier gf Kerr? Did they join the party? Or they were NOT invited? JJ, can you survive that?
Classy! Pretty! I love it!
I just saw JJ latest post.
If I understand correctly, Miranda Kerr attended AFTER PARTY at Monkey bar, but WAS NOT on MET costume gala. Right? At the gala , there was NO ONE photo of Miranda. She went to the Monkey bar for the AFTER PARTY, but actually she was not on the real party . LOL! She is so pathetic. Bar Rafaeli and Heidi were on the real MET party , but Miranda was obviously good enough only for the Monkey bar. I can hardly wait for the Mirandas shippers explanation!
Kate was perfectly looking and INSIDE the party, Miranda went to the Monkey bar for the AFTER PARTY. It is so ok.
Hair and makeup are pretty. The dress may be better if it were shorter.
Miranda was @ the Met Ball but not many pictures of her. Kate looked stunning absolutely stunning!
Definitely looks as though she was going for an elegant but slightly vampy ’40’s look. She reminds me abit here of Kim Bassinger in “L.A. Confidential.” Kate’s a softly-feminine girl who wears classic/elegant very well imo.
Well Orlando WAS YOU KNOW DOING WHAT EVERY ACTOR IS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING FINISHING HIS NEW MOVIE THERE IS A REAL POSSIBILITY HE WILL BE IN CANNES (YOU KNOW THE MOVIE FESTIVAL KATE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN TO IF IT WASN’T FOR HIM TAKING HER THERE BACK IN 2004)AND HOPEFULLY HE WILL BE IN AUSTRALIA THIS SUMMER TO DO ANOTHER MOVIE THAT MY DEAR IS CALLED AN ACTOR IN DEMAND UNLIKE YOUR NEVER BEEN Z-LIST WHO WOULD ATTEND EVERY EVENT 3 YEARS IN A ROW JUST TO GET PICTURED AND GET ATTENTION .
Miranda was at the gala looking incredibly sexy and beautiful just perfect .
By the way when do you thing this looser will be employed to do a movie again?
And another question aren’t you ashamed to be a fan of Kate Bosworth???????????
Ha ha! Look at Bruce Willis! He can’t keep his eyes off Kate.
b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!
she is the most decent looking one.
Wow, she actually looks quite good. Glad she put on a little weight.
She’s look much more healthy and happy.
Good for Kate!

people are really stupid. miranda kerr was at the ball and she was also there and posed with bar rafeili. it was on the wwd & blaseborg if you actually read stuff, before jared posted the stuff on today’s front page.
Liv Taylor looks huge next to the rest of the women in the picture. However, I do like her and think she is gorgeous. That blue is beautiful on her and I will bet her eyes were stunning with that dress and earrings. We can’t clearly see her eyes, but I a sure the dress really showed the off.
I agree, Liv is beautiful. She’s so statuesque - like a goddess or something.
You can’t possibly serious. Do you really think Miranda looks “beautiful just perfect”? She looks fine if she were at a tacky gay bar in LA (which can be fun but that’s not the evening’s event). Her look is so inappropriate for the Met Ball. http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/7963/929316113852b.jpg
Kate looks incredibly chic and very cool. She’s also with an impressive group of girls. I love Agyness Deyn!
Didn’t Orlando take several years off before filming after Pirates3? Of course Kate will film again. She’s done several films in the past few years and I’m certain she will start a new film soon. Don’t worry about her.
Kate is an impressive woman and I’m proud to be her fan!
@@41:
No, I am not ashamed. Kate is great. Go Kate!
Miranda’s fans are the ones who should be ashamed especially for this MET. Heck, she’s not even invited. Her pictures can’t even make it to the site of the biggest sponsor of this event VOGUE.
kate looks better than most of the models there.
what’s up with the 80s dynasty outfits is that stella’s designs?
also if kate hudson shows us her backside one more time, i ‘m going to barf.
She looks like she’s ready to suck some blood or something. This is scary.
