The Oscars red carpet may get more press, but it’s the Met Ball one that actually REALLY matters. I’m talking about the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute gala benefit, which took place in New York on Monday night. Vogue EIC Anna Wintour holds court over the festivities, and it’s a big freakin’ deal. The attendees include all the celebs who go to the Oscars, plus supermodels, plus designers, plus assorted rich people… and that, my friends, adds up to a whole lotta photos for me to parse.
But I’m ready now—ready to show you the best beauty looks, and ready to talk about eight hair and makeup themes that were apparent. Pay attention, because like I said, this is THE red carpet that matters. Keep reading »
Here we go! It’s your GG beauty coverage—and my goodness, there are a lot of celebs to view and discuss! (Um, 25, to be exact.)

So the Emmys happened. And half of the attendees collaborated to make sure they were all wearing red dresses, apparently. Weird. (Or maybe SMART, because you just know all of those women are going to land on some trend page in every magazine. Can you say guaranteed coverage?)
Anyway, since this is our equivalent of a trend page, we need to cover—as we always do—the best hair and makeup of the night. Overall, it wasn’t a bad showing, although there isn’t anyone that blew me away (aside from Minka Kelly, who I really should talk about more because she is so incredibly gorgeous). Mainly, I liked individual elements of each person’s look—but only a rare few were head-to-cleavage perfection. (Not head-to-toe, see, because we don’t talk about fashion here.) And then there were the four peeps that I just can’t wrap my head around. Maybe you can help me. We’ll start with the top 10: Keep reading »
