Met Ball Best Dressed: By Designer

1. Louis Vuitton

2. Joseph Altuzarra

3. Calvin Klein

It's a bit late for a comprehensive list of best and worst dressed for last night's Met Ball, but I can say that one of my favorite reasons to watch the red carpet is to see how one designer dresses multiple celebs for the same event. My favorites from last night were Maggie Gyllenhaal and Rachel Bilson in Louis Vuitton. They looked fairly similar, but took LV's new buxom look straight off the runway perfectly. Joseph Altuzarra got a lot of buzz last fashion week, but he hasn't hit the mainstream just yet, so it makes sense he dressed models Anja Rubik and Karolina Kurkova. Calvin Klein also did an expert job with his two clients, Zoe Saldana and Diane Kruger. Both women are always exceptionally well dressed when they hit the red carpet and that held true last night as they both looked stunning in classic Calvin. MIA and Zoe Kravitz both looked great in Alexander Wang, but the whole "for the Gap" thing is so confusing and obnoxious, I left them out.

Meryl Streep Makes Me Notice the SAG Awards

I don't care at all about the SAG Awards, but Meryl Streep wore Balenciaga and there is literally nothing else she could do to be more awesome. Plus, she looks fantastic.

Sandra Bullock and Anna Paquin both wore Alexander McQueen and looked amazing as well (aside from Anna's sour puss face). Sandra Bullock has been making some surprisingly fashionable choices lately, she might be a dark horse for best dressed at awards shows this year.

As much as fashion lovers anticipate awards season to see which of our favorite stars match up with our favorite designers, there is always a tinge of disappointment with the red carpet. NY Mag accuses award show dresses of being boring and ugly because major designers refuse to lend to Hollywood. At this weekend's 67th Annual Golden Globes, many of the major designers were represented, but designs often seem less impressive on the red carpet than on the runway. Take a look and decide for yourself which is better.
