As Kaiser covered earlier today, disgraced designer John Galliano is gradually clawing his way back. He designed Amal Clooney’s Maison Margiela Met Gala gown and did both Cate Blanchett’s Oscar look and Rihanna’s Grammy’s suit. So was it a kind of nod to Galliano’s past greatness that Mary Kate and Ashley wore his designs on the Met red carpet? Did they work with Galliano to score these dresses or did they just pull some gowns out of the back of their mausoleum of a closet, smear some kohl on their eyes and call it a day? They’re like the twins from The Shining – you never quite know what they’re up to.
Behati Prinsloo was in a dark navy Tommy Hillfiger velvet and mesh open back gown that showed just the right amount of skin. She carried a fan purse, had tassel earrings and matching tassles down her back and had complementary styling. This was very well done.

Also in Hillfiger and absolutely killing it we have Karolina Kurkova. Her legs, her shoes! This was a lot of people’s favorite look of the night and for good reason.

I’m adding Georgia May Jagger in as she really fit the theme well too. Her dress may be kimono-inspired, and kimonos are traditionally Japanese but they do have their roots in Chinese culture too. She’s in Alessandro Michele for Gucci and that’s Michele with her. This is Michele’s first year as Gucci’s creative director and he’s getting praise for bringing the label in a fresh, youthful direction. Jagger’s gown was a standout last night.
