Worst Dressed at the 2011 Met Gala !


You really couldn't go wrong on a night all about fashion, but there were a select few that could have added more pizzazz (or less).

10. Sofia Vergara
Sofia's fashion choices have always enhanced her famous figure, and while this dress is lovely, it was a bit too simple for one of fashion's biggest night! The colors aren't bold enough and the print gives it a bit of a homebody feeling. Not enough dazzle or va-va-voom at all!


















9. Dakota Fanning
I don't care if applique flowers are made of $500/inch silk, sticking them on dresses does not make it anymore fashionable! This will always remind me of plastic floral arrangements that collect dust on your mom's coffee table.
















8. Livia Giuggioli
Livia's hair and make-up is gorge! And throughout this year's awards season, she's hit all the right marks. But the odd open-skirt/cape makes this outfit strange and confusing. It would have been a much more striking look with the glittering pantsuit by itself.



















7. Blake Lively
As the new face of the much coveted house of Chanel, I expected much more from Blake. This outfit is drab compared to what we've seen her in before and the half-dress/half-drape look is hard on the eye. Uninspiring.



















6. Emily Browning
This dress is very cute and chic, but Emily didn't do anything to make herself pop. The bag and shoes are a mismatch and make the overall look chunky and boring. Perhaps a slicked-back do and dramatic make-up would have taken this to the next level since she's got the bone structure to pull it off!


















5. Joy Bryant
Compared to what Joy rocked last year, this look is B-O-R-I-N-G. This sweater dress is too casual for an event like this and is more beach chic than city glam. The colors are also uninspiring and the overall look leaves no room for that extra x-factor. Maybe next year!





















4. Mary-Kate Olsen
I'm really tired of a multi-millionaire making such confusing and unflattering fashion choices. With the world's best designers and stylists at her disposal, Mary-Kate always chooses clothes that does nothing for her. This gown is oversized and shapeless, and would it kill her to put her hair up in a bun sometimes? Such a shame since we've seen MK rock out high-fashion before.














3. Fergie
This dress is so detailed and dramatic, but somehow Fergie takes it down a notch or two. She could have used more dramatic and bold make-up and an upswept do to really pull viewers in. The potential is there, but falls so very short. Fergie could have polished this look way more, but instead it comes off overdone and messy.















2. Chrissy Tiegen
At any other event, this dress would have been a disaster. And although appropriate for such a fashion-focused event, there is just too much going on! The focus here is obviously the sheerness of the sheath, but the feathered neck boa along with the unflattering, layered train turns this into a mish mash of indecisiveness.


















1. Christina Ricci
A very lovely dress, but Christina is a very tiny lady. Unfortunately, portion is everything sometimes, and this is just too much dress! The lace veins and over-the-top train proves to be more of a distraction than attention. A testament that size (and proportion) does matter!

















Hope you enjoyed my take on this year's list! What are your thoughts? Who else would you have added to the list?
