Superlatives.

I am talking the real thing. Not every little kid on the soccer team gets a trophy, because if little Suzie showed up and picked her nose, she gets a trophy... self esteem and all.

No, this is the real deal, which is VERY rare. To have an ABSOLUTE best of anything , to empirically know, with out any hint of a doubt that whatever is the best OR worst of something. It's Ty Cobb, it's Babe Ruth. It's April, no, fool, it's October. Single malt scotch versus your small batch bourbon.. you name it, everyone has an opinion of what is the BEST or WORST of anything.
All that said, we have with out a doubt , 100% the absolute worst red carpet out fit , ever. I am talking worse than Bork's now infamous Swan. Worse than Gwyneth Paltrow's boob gate. HERE is a list of some of the all time horrible red carpet looks, go... familiarise yourself with them.

Your Grammy's, your Tony's, Your Emmy's , the Oscar's naturally. Even this past weekends little pretend red carpet down in DC, with the White House Correspondents dinner. ALL pale compared to the annual Metropolitan Museum of Arts' Costume Institute Gala. IT is the real deal. None of this NEW designer nonsense that you sometimes see in Hollywood. ONLY the big guns are brought out on this night . This year the event was to celebrate the opening of a special Met Exhibit :

American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity
May 5, 2010–August 15, 2010
Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Exhibition Hall, 2nd floor

HERE are the ladies of the night, some stunning, some just ok, but all really putting it out there, knowing what the night was all about.

SJP looking lovely.
( by contract, we have to have SJP )
Co-host of the night
the Queen of Everything: Oprah
and her date, Mr. de la Renta.
Carolina Herrera and Calvin Klein
( see! the BIG guns! )
Tom and Gisele
( lots of short dresses, it's fashion, not style or trend here, this is wonderful,)
Liev Schreiber and Nalmi Watts
( major crush on Liev )
EVEN the walking freak show that is Donatella turned it out!

So, you get the general gist of the evening, please, look at everyone when you have the time. But now, with out a doubt, the WORST RED CARPET LOOK OF ALL TIME :


Tina Fey.
yikes!


The boys weigh in HERE, I'll give ya'll a little taste: " Seriously, how does someone stand in front of a full-length mirror wearing this and think, "I'm ready to go?" How does someone who is not blind or crazy leave the house wearing this? Tina, what is WRONG with you? "
