Jennifer Lawrence in Dior

This is based on a shorter version that appeared in the most recent couture show. The twin slings of fabric were equally perplexing to me then, especially because the floral is so cute; the lopsided swatch on her collarbone might even have been fine in its own dress, but all three of them together are unflattering and weird.

And it's quite simply surprising to me that Jennifer was CO-CHAIRING this event, and Dior didn't help design something wholly custom to celebrate it. That seems like a waste.

Look at it from this side, and imagine the totally different, prettier other gown that floral might have made.

You can see it a bit better from this angle. Safe to say I remain NOT a fan of the design or construction of this garment, and the fact that it also looks like a racerback and a maillot bathing suit mixed together with a formal dress is just... you know. The usual frosting on a half-baked Dior cake.

I just wanted you to see all this up close. It doesn't help.

Met Gala Fug Carpet: Jennifer Lawrence in Dior

Jennifer co-chaired this gala, which was an admittedly strange choice to me -- not least because I feel like someone who basically signed her youth away to one designer is an unusual pick to head up a gala devoted to a wide swath of fashion. Insert the usual gripe about the two years remaining on this unholy pact -- followed by my usual suspicion that she either doesn't care that much, doesn't have a good sense for what works, or both.
