You Punks.

It's that time of the year again. Celebs from Hollyweird and beyond gather for the annual Met Gala to celebrate whatever Anna Wintour feels like promoting. Last year was a fitting tribute to great designers Schiaparelli and Prada and this year, just to zig when you think they'll zag, the theme was "Punk: From Chaos to Couture." Oh sure, because nothing is more punk than having celebutante millionaires overpay for some pink hair extensions and put some safety pins on their couture gowns. While high concept fashion designers like Vivienne Westwood and John Paul Gaultier have borrowed elements of punk culture in the past, the Met Gala celebrating punk is an anathema to the original movement. From my understanding of it, punk completely eschews materialism, anything too mainstream, and general anarchy-- you know, everything the Met Gala isn't. 

It was kind of fun to see celebs take a stab at punk. I don't think there's anymore black eyeliner left in the world and they wiped Hot Topic out of temporary hair dye. In terms of outfits, here is my winner and loser:

Winner:

SJP looks crazy compared to everyone else. It certainly ain't mainstream. 

Loser:

Did you forget what the theme was? You're the one parent chaperone in regular clothes while all the kids are in costumes trick-or-treating. Lame. OR, maybe it's super subversive and she's reverse psychologing everyone. Just because I say to go punk, you do it? I'm going regular party dress tonight! 

But in terms of life, Jennifer Lawrence wins.
