Another day, another rant about Marchesa. Three ladies chose to wear Marchesa to the Met Gala, and I hope they’re all regretting that decision. Let’s start with Sofia Vergara. Here’s what I don’t understand: if you’re not going to do anything with the theme, at least wear an interesting dress or a pretty dress or something incredibly flattering. Sofia’s Marchesa is ill-fitting, unflattering and flat-out cheap-looking. This looks like a wedding dress from 1995.

I actually think the idea behind Poppy Delevingne’s Marchesa was on-point. Deep red and black, an explosion of poppies for the top with an elegant full skirt. But the execution leaves something to be desired. Am I hallucinating or do the poppies not match the skirt? It seems like the red of the poppies are a few shades lighter than the skirt. Plus, everything just looks cheap. Like a child’s art project.

And here’s Ellie Goulding in Marchesa. I could see wearing this to a music awards show. But the Met Gala? Eh. I don’t know if there are any Goulding-loonies out there, but I think everything about Ellie is pretty overrated.

And here’s Sofia’s costar Reese Witherspoon in Jason Wu. This dress doesn’t have anything to do with the theme, but it’s a pretty/boring dress by a Chinese-American designer, so I guess that works. I think everything about this is “safe.” Of course, I wasn’t expecting Reese to wear a crazy flame headpiece, but she could have mixed it up a little bit more. This just looks like what she would wear to an awards show.
