It was auctioned for charity, I believe, after this. The Met is never going to seem accessible, so store brands getting involved seems sort of silly to me, but at least it was auctioned for charity afterward. HOWEVER the peek of bustier is not that hot. It looks like she has a St. George's Cross on her boob. ## Melissa George ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88001_98824752-640x960-1588701754.jpg) She looks beautiful in this. It's a fabulous color. ## Chloe Sevigny in Proenza Schouler ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88052_98823248-640x961-1588701795.jpg) Chloe's black hooves match the peek of bra and basically nothing else. If you think the bra flash is boning things from the front... ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88052_98824920-640x961-1588701801.jpg) ... then get a load of this. It TOTALLY ruins the back. ## Coco Rocha in Zac Posen ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88071_98827156-640x962-1588701826.jpg) I love Coco, but the part of the dress that's on her body looks like she just washed up from being lost at sea. And the train looks like a Pinocchio nose -- every lie she tells about where she was while she was gone causes it to grow and grow and grow. I think, essentially, this is an early version of dresses that worked much better later. ## Duotzen Kroes in Zac Posen ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_6047638dd-1588702190.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Fairchild Archive/Penske Media/Shutterstock (6047638dd) Doutzen Kroes,Zac Posen 2010 Met Costume Institute Gala, New York As is this, frankly. There is stuff here that is lovely, but which he did better later. ## Christina Hendricks in L'Wren Scott ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88101_98825733-640x961-1588701847.jpg) This should fit her boobs better. And pinning two old toupees to her shoulder is just mean. ## Vera Farmiga in Sophie Theallet for Gap ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88192_98823086-640x961-1588701910.jpg) ANOTHER Gap girl. She looks like a very glamorous madam. ## Emmy Rossum in Kenneth Cole ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_6047638ck-1588702164.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Fairchild Archive/Penske Media/Shutterstock (6047638ck) Emmy Rossum 2010 Met Costume Institute Gala, New York This is sort of fun. For a long time I never thought of Emmy as someone with a lot of red-carpet personality, but that necklace says otherwise. ## Mariska Hargitay in Vera Wang ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_6047638fy-1588702216.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Fairchild Archive/Penske Media/Shutterstock (6047638fy) Mariska Hargitay 2010 Met Costume Institute Gala, New York This was nice work from Vera. She's had a dodgy design decade since, to say the least. ## Blake Lively in Marchesa ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-87971_98824628-640x982-1588701733.jpg) This is one of Marchesa's sillier impulses. ## Tina Fey in YSL ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2020/05/2010-87962_98823236-640x962-1588701726.jpg) And THIS is arguably the dumpiest thing Tina Fey has ever worn. The fit is a nightmare, the zipper in the front is an eyesore... it's like she's Violet Beauregard, spending her entire life afraid she will spontaneously inflate again, and dressing to make room. ## Maggie Gyllenhaal in Louis Vuitton ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88022_98823520-640x961-1588701782.jpg) ANOTHER Madam outfit. Maybe a lot of people decided they were America's first female small-business owners. ## Zoe Saldana in Calvin Klein ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_6047638gq-1588702225.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Fairchild Archive/Penske Media/Shutterstock (6047638gq) Zoe Saldana 2010 Met Costume Institute Gala, New York This is achingly perfect, and her wrist cuff seals it. ## Sienna Miller in Pucci ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88171_98824786-640x1076-1588701889.jpg) She got Jude Law during some of his great hair years. This was not her best makeup night. ## Oprah in (and with) Oscar de la Renta ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88372_98822741-640x983-1588702040.jpg) Oprah looks stellar in this. ## January Jones in YSL ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-87992_98825486-640x962-1588701747.jpg) This feels more like the Dangerous Liaisons theme. Well, a cross between that and the '60s. ## Rachel Weisz in OdlR ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88261_98823619-640x963-1588701959.jpg) This dress is fine! She looks super in it. ## Naomi Watts in Stella McCartney ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88261_98824663-640x999-1588701965.jpg) I admit, I am fixating a bit more on what I can see of her shoes. ## Karlie Kloss in Donna Karan ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_6047638ec-1588702199.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Fairchild Archive/Penske Media/Shutterstock (6047638ec) Karlie Kloss attends the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2010 Costume Institute gala. Kloss wears Donna Karan with Ivanka Trump jewelry. 2010 Met Costume Institute Gala, New York This is not the best of Karlie. The color is super, but... maybe it's the eye makeup. ## Thandie Newton in Vivienne Westwood ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-1177264go-1545264876-1588702061.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/BEI/REX/Shutterstock (1177264go) Thandie Newton Costume Institute Gala Benefit 'American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity', Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, America - 03 May 2010 This is all sort of a hodge podge but she's Thandie Newton, so it works ## Viola Davis in Vera Wang ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_5633996lw-1588702130.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Marion Curtis/Starpix/Shutterstock (5633996lw) Viola Davis Costume Institute Gala Benefit 'American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity', Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, America - 03 May 2010 This is a total scrolldown -- like three bridal ideas got mashed together. ## Carey Mulligan in Miu Miu ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88011_98823567-640x962-1588701768.jpg) Look! Matching oven mitts! ## Rosario Dawson in Giambattista Valli ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88292_98825493-640x962-1588701998.jpg) This poofy skirt either needed to be at her waist, or MORE dropped, right? ## Katy Perry in Cute Circuit ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88062_98823960-640x426-1588046542-1588701814.jpg) We just revisited this [in her Fugtrospective](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/hop-into-the-katy-perry-wayback-machine-with-me-04-2020/). It was the first light-up dress, years before Manus x Machina. ## Mary J. Blige in J. Mendel ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_1177274iv-1588702093.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock (1177274iv) Mary J Blige Costume Institute Gala Benefit 'American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity', Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, America - 03 May 2010 They should just go for a bridal theme one year. Boring but pretty much what people aim for anyway. ## Kate Bosworth in Valentino ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88332_98824711-640x962-1588702033.jpg) She looks good in this homage to the circulatory system. ## Jessica Alba in Sophie Theallet for Gap ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_6047638aw-1588702138.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Fairchild Archive/Penske Media/Shutterstock (6047638aw) Jessica Alba 2010 Met Costume Institute Gala, New York Very Old Hollywood. (And good PR for The Gap.) ## Biel (in Ralph Lauren) and Timberlake ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88202_98823257-640x961-1588701917.jpg) This looks like Kate Hudson's *How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days* dress got melted in the microwave. ## Sarah Jessica Parker in Halston Heritage ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88211_98823065-640x961-1588701924.jpg) SJP was hired earlier in 2010 to be the president and Chief Creative Officer of Halston Heritage. She quietly ended the association not long after, no announcement was made formally until *Vogue* broke it via a cover story in mid-2011, and it's been scrubbed from her Wikipedia page. Intrigue! It sounds like it was a bad relationship, but she can at least rest assured that it looked good on her here. ## Rosie Huntington Whiteley in Burberry ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_6047638jk-1588702234.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Fairchild Archive/Penske Media/Shutterstock (6047638jk) Rosie Huntington Whiteley attends the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2010 Costume Institute gala. Whitely wears Burberry. 2010 Met Costume Institute Gala, New York Is a belt REALLY just a waist-bracelet? ## Anne Hathaway in Valentino ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88061_98824642-640x961-1588701808.jpg) This was gorgeous. I think Fug Nation voted her best-dressed this year. ## Joy Bryant in Marchesa ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88241_98826988-640x961-1588701945.jpg) Marchesa, much like me at times, REALLY needed an editor. ## Eva Longoria in Marchesa ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88281_98823300-640x961-1588701973.jpg) But THIS is a good one. From this angle the train looks a bit like it's just plonked there... ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88281_98828517-640x921-1588701982.jpg) ... but as she went up the stairs, it gave her the photo she likely wanted. ## Marion Cotillard in Dior ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88191_98824630-640x955-1588701903.jpg) This is lovely, don't get me wrong, but also slightly dowdy for Marion. ## Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88091_98823488-640x962-1588701840.jpg) Hard to be mad at this. She MIGHT want for jewels? ## Gwen Stefani in LAMB ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88321_98823081-640x961-1588702020.jpg) It is not a surprise to me that LAMB no longer exists. ## Stella, Liv Tyler, Kate Hudson ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88002_988247302-640x962-1588701761.jpg) Kate looks nice. All three of them have ridiculously good legs. And Liv's dress has a sheer backing that goes all the way down to her feet, like a sanitary liner. ## Mila Kunis in Vera Wang ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88122_98826074-640x988-1588701860.jpg) This dress says, "I hate designing for the Met Gala and I am OUT OF IDEAS ugh I'm so CRABBY." ## Kristen Stewart in Chanel ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/may-2010-87981_98825847-640x962-1586402579-1588702078.jpg) Karl, Karl, Karl. Did your lunch sit poorly on this day? ## Gisele Bundchen ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88242_98823544-640x1004-1588701952.jpg) Gisele is wearing a custom Alexander Wang gym mat that he decided not to finish weaving. ## Elizabeth Banks in Gucci ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-87991_988233204-640x961-1588701740.jpg) "You should have seen it BEFORE the Rogaine." ## Janet Jackson in Lanvin ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88382_98823999-640x1033-1588702047.jpg) Justin's response to the whole wardrobe malfunction was so underwhelming and ME ME ME -- he also seemed so willing to let her pay the piper alone for as long as possible -- that I hope Janet spent all night tearing up his heart with her eyes. ## Kristin Davis ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88211_98823077-640x961-1588701931.jpg) This is so heavy, and exhausting-looking. ## Zoe Kravitz in Alexander Wang ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/GettyImages-526193964-1588722271.jpg) Zoe Kravitz attends "American Woman: Fashioning A National Identity" Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. (Photo by Lars Niki/Corbis via Getty Images) Well, I don't think Lenny was there, but Zoe was. This is pretty underwhelming, but the confidence of a white cotton tank top with tuxedo pants does feel like it has its place on this night. ## Alexa Chung in Phillip Lim ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88032_98827115-640x983-1588701789.jpg) To me this outfit is objectively bad, but she looks great in it. ## Angela Lindvall ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_6047638by-1588702147.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Fairchild Archive/Penske Media/Shutterstock (6047638by) Angela Lindvall attends the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2010 Costume Institute gala. Lindvall wears Atelier Versace. 2010 Met Costume Institute Gala, New York "Leave me.

Is that black string holding the top together, or... because it's not a choker. ## Karolina Kurkova ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_5633996dg-1588702102.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Marion Curtis/Starpix/Shutterstock (5633996dg) Karolina Kurkova Costume Institute Gala Benefit 'American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity', Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, America - 03 May 2010 Little Wicker Chair on the Prairie. ## Taylor Swift in Ralph Lauren ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-FFN_flynet_metball3_050310_GG_50509620-1588702069.jpg) 50509620 05-03-10 New York City, NY Celebrities attending the Metropolitan Museum Of Art's 2010 Costume Institute Ball, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, NY.

I do also have to remind myself she was much younger then.) ## Diane Kruger and Pacey ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88301_98822614-640x961-1588702005.jpg) Diane is in Calvin Klein, and it's tremendous on her. ## Kirsten Dunst in Rodarte for Gap ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88132_98823069-640x967-1588701866.jpg) Rodarte REALLY toned itself down here for its Gap outfit -- I assume ALL of these were auctioned? -- but it does also feel like she's on her way to two-step at her own wedding. ## Emma Watson in Burberry ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88141_98822728-640x1001-1588701873.jpg) Too much slit, too much STUFF. ## Riley Keough in Thakoon ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88311_98824891-640x962-1588702012.jpg) I cannot get past her crispy-fried convertible hair. ## Kristen Bell in DVF ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88392_98823668-640x962-1588702053.jpg) Kristen is wearing backsplash from the Home Depot collection. ## Rachel Bilson in Louis Vuitton ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2010-88291_98825589-640x982-1588701990.jpg) This is so cute.
