This post is for all of the Met Gala ladies who wore Chanel. And it was a mess. Karl Lagerfeld didn’t bother to come to the Met Gala this year – he scheduled a notable conflict (his Resort show in Seoul, South Korea) for the same day as the Met Gala just so he wouldn’t have to come. But in his absence, several big-name celebrities decided to wear Chanel, to mostly mixed results.

Dakota Johnson completely ignored the Chinese theme and just went with a sparkly mini-dress. I actually thought she looked a lot like Kristen Stewart in these photos, only Dakota’s hair will ALWAYS be the pits, whereas Kristen’s hair is often pretty great. I thought Dakota might have gotten a shaggy, unkempt bob just for the Met Gala, but this haircut happened at least a week ago. As for the dress… I’m not into it. I like the fact that she edited the look way down, but it seems too undone for me.

Diane Kruger wore a Chanel ensemble from the Spring 2011 line. I would have liked this better sans pants, with just a few more inches on the tube-dress part. That would have been amazing.

Rachel Weisz in a completely boring strapless Chanel. It has nothing to do with China AND it’s completely un-noteworthy. Plus, Rachel didn’t bring Daniel Craig! If you’re going to wear a boring dress, at least bring your hot, pouty husband.

Anna Wintour wore this custom-made Chanel. The Chinese influence is the poppy. It’s a bolder look from Wintour. I kind of love it.

I think Lily Collins kept with the theme in an interesting way, and while I can see objectively why this is a strong showing for her, I’m just not that into the whole look.
