American Fashion from 1800 to Early 1900 at the MET.

via NYMag: The main reason guests went to the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute ball last night was not to see and be seen and find out if they were important or intimidating enough to escape with a train unscathed. They went to see the Costume Institute's new exhibit on American fashion from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The pieces now on display at the Met were pulled from the Brooklyn Museum's collection; each museum is running an exhibit simultaneously. New York fashion director Harriet Mays Powell stopped by both museums for a preview. Check out some of the dresses in the video.

Ok, below what I DID NOT LIKE.


It's hard for me to hate on Tina Fey (in Yves Saint Laurent) because I like her so much, but whoever her stylist is, this person throws Tina under the bus on the REGULAR. Everybody can't wear everything stylists. Fit your clients to what works best for their body types. 101 knowledge. Get it together.


And Kristin Stewart's CHANEL dress was a FAIL on all levels in my opinion. I just can't with the weird sheer on the bottom and the odd place the dress hits at her ankles. And the way she's standing. Not the hotness, sorry.
