La femme Cocobelle: The verdict's in, who MET the mark?

So today, the fashion world was buzzing with everyone voicing opinions on outfits from yesterday's Metropolitan Museum's costume gala. The fashion pack was out on full force trying to make an entrance and secure many front pages, but unfortunately some obtained column inches for the wrong reasons.

The criticism fell largely on Madonna, Rihanna and Leighton Meester, all taking the costume aspect of the gala a step too far by choosing to wear borderline avant garde outfits exactly as seen on AW 09 runways. Hmmmmm.....

So, for your pleasure, runway vs real life, aka: a reminder of why we shouldn't take runway ready to wear literally (even if we are loaded celebs who can usually do no wrong!)

Ok, so i'm very upset with Leighton. She's usually on point with her outfits. This Vuitton dress is cute and very regal looking, so i'm surprised she didn't lose the leggings and wear the dress bare legged. I guess we're all allowed to miss the mark once in a while.

I think we've all heard the phrase "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all" So lets have a moment's silence for Madonna, butchering 2 Vuitton looks in one go.

And finally, Rihanna's had a hard time of late with the press, so why does she insist on making things worse? It was awkward looking on the runway, so it's not likely to work in real life either!
