Maxim 2011 Hot 100 list includes Paz de la Huerta, Taylor Swift

It’s the time of year that all young starlets prize over all others; that is, the moment when the Maxim 2011 Hot 100 List reveals itself to the world. As is customary, the annual list contains many of the same swimsuit and lingerie models that I’m not terribly familiar with, but a few names seemed rather surprising. Paz de la Huerta, drunken, violent mess, came screaming in at #84 with a smear of dark lipstick, and Taylor Swift took #20, which is strange because Swifty is certainly pretty but not, you know, hot. Jake Gyllenhaal will be thrilled, I’m sure.

Other highlights include the following ladies: #69: Emma Watson (which shall provide another convenient taking a break from college excuse); #64: Miley Cyrus (if only because she’s barely legal); #61: Eva Amurri (Susan Sarandon’s daughter); #58: Christina Aguilera (naturally, Maxim used a very old photo); #56: Christina Hendricks (who should’ve at least made the 20s); #54: Vanessa Hudgens (validation, finally!); #42: Emma Stone; #38: Lindsay Lohan (no comment); #36: Brooklyn Decker (her likely response? “Duh.”); #35: Kim Kardashian; #31: Evan Rachel Wood; #30: Sofia Vergara; #28: Lea Michelle (not if her stylists have anything to do with it); #26: Kate Middleton; #25: Britney Spears (minus a few hot dergs); #22: Rihanna; #21: Jessica Alba (yawn); #17: Megan Fox (she was #2 in 2009 and #4 in 2010); #15: Olivia Wilde; #14: Scarlett Johansson (who wastes it by dating crusty old Sean Penn); #12: January Jones; #10: Jennifer Lawrence; #8: Natalie Portman (bitchface extraordinaire); #7: Anne Hathaway; #6: Bar Refaeli; #5: Mila Kunis; #4: Cameron Diaz; #3: Katy Perry; #2: Olivia Munn; and finally, #1: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (a.k.a. “Megan Fox 2.0).

Conspicuously missing from the list? Miranda Kerr (truly a surprise considering her Victoria’s Secret popularity), Gwyneth Paltrow (the curse of the Goop finally kicks in) and Taylor Momsen (probably because she’s still underage).

Yes, Maxim is merely a lad mag, but this list of ladies is rather underwhelming, isn’t it? Several of them have seen much better days, several of them are alcoholic messes, and a good number of them merely feel like obligatory token additions. You can read the full list at Maxim.

Kirsten Dunst in sequin Chanel at the Met Gala: what the hell?

Posted: 03 May 2011 08:44 AM PDT

fp_7249225_metgala_ram_62_2
What is Karl Lagerfeld smoking lately? Blake Lively’s Chanel gown was a half toga over a bodysuit with silver applique and Kirsten Dunst showed up in this. This is like Swiss Miss meets Bavarian folk singer without a hint of sexy. I wonder if there could be even more going on with that hideous boxy dress and if someone showed restraint with this design. It’s got stripes, it’s got sequins, it has flowers and it’s off the shoulder but has straps and some gems at the double neckline. All it needs is a ruffle at the bottom.

Kirsten knows she looks like all sorts of hell too, and her expression is like “yeah, what am I going to do about it at this point?” She has on pink lipstick, blue eyeshadow, and took a wave iron to her hair to complete the look.

fp_7249224_metgala_ram_61_2
Also, those witchy shoes are really ugly, and what’s more is that they’re a repeat. They seem to be the same exact shoes she wore to the 2009 Costume Institute Gala, when her dress was still fug, but a little more fashion forward.

Naomi Campbell in Alexander McQueen at the Met Gala: hilarious or…?

Posted: 03 May 2011 08:28 AM PDT

These photos of Naomi Campbell are maybe THE BEST THINGS EVER. Yes, she's wearing Alexander McQueen, which is cool, and yes, she chose one of McQueen's more uncongenial dresses, which is nice to see because McQueen's odder designs deserve to be recognized as well. BUT HER FACE. Look at her face! Is that the face of someone is happy and content? Is that the face of a supermodel who is twerking it? Nope. That is the face of "I'm going to give you this one, people, because I know you love to laugh." Actually, she'd probably shove a bedazzled cell phone up your biscuits if you laughed at her face, to her face. Don't try it!

As for the dress… I mean, yeah, it's not really great, in my opinion. But I like that McQueen's girls wore his stuff to his tribute. And the detailing on the gown really is lovely. Sure, it's bridal, and that makes Naomi's married Russian fiancĂ© kind of nervous. But at least it's not as epically hideous-bridal as Fergie. Or Serena Williams:

The dress is Oscar de la Renta (is it a wedding dress?). Oh, and it's a total and epic disaster. FEATHERS. FASCINATOR. FUG.

Kate Hudson in Stella McCartney at the Met Gala: radiant or fashion fail?

Posted: 03 May 2011 08:13 AM PDT

I don’t want to pick on a pregnant woman, but Kate Hudson needs better styling. She wore Stella McCartney, and like Rihanna and Gwyneth, Stella completely failed to make her look presentable or stylish. Stella has been pregnant enough, she should know how to cut a dress so that it doesn’t make a pregnant woman look like a big bubble! This silky peach monstrosity has pleating around Kate’s bump for goodness sake.

fp_7249184_metgala_ram_21_2
Look at the single sequin boob and the other boob with the sequins framing the top. It’s just not flattering and wouldn’t look good on anyone, not to mention a heavily pregnant lady.

wenn3321460
Kate had messy beach hair with long wavy extensions and she wore a little starburst brooch in the middle of her head just above the hairline. She was going for mermaid and she ended up looking like she just wet her hair and let it dry without doing anything to it. Plus the black eyeliner rimming her eyes just made her look squinty. I like Kate and she’s a beautiful woman, but Stella, her hairdresser and her makeup artist all did her a disservice here. Remember how she said being pregnant was like being stoned? I’m definitely seeing that.

Sarah Jessica Parker in McQueen at the Met Gala: Streisand-esque?

Posted: 03 May 2011 08:03 AM PDT

wenn3321444

Like Gisele, Sarah Jessica Parker also decided to posthumously honor Alexander McQueen by wearing one of his more conservative dresses. Now… I don't hate the dress in it's entirety. I actually think SJP looks very put-together with the dress, the great makeup (I love her eye makeup in particular), the high fashion hair, and the blue shoes which "pop". But there's something "off" about the look too. I think maybe it's the high collar on the dress…? The high collar makes it seem like SJP is wearing an old-school, Hollywood costume rather than a near-vintage McQueen ensemble. But perhaps that is the fault of McQueen, and not SJP, who just wanted to wear something special from her friend Lee. So, in the end, I can't hate on this ensemble. She looks put-together, age-appropriate and rather lovely, although a bit conservative and dated.

Also… is anyone else seeing Barbra Streisand? It's the hair and the nose, right? I've never really seen SJP look so strongly like Streisand.

And yes, Bravo's Andy Cohen was her date. Matthew Broderick had better things to do, I guess.

Gisele Bundchen in red McQueen at the Met Gala: gorgeous or bland?

Posted: 03 May 2011 07:46 AM PDT

fp_7249219_metgala_ram_56_256

I have a question: how whipped is Tom Brady? He always attends these big fashion events with his wife, she gets the final say in his hair, and you know she dresses him too. While I don't hate on men being whipped as a general rule, I will hate on Tom Brady for a moment - he needs to grow a set and stand up to his wife, at least about the hair. The hair is ridiculous. He's a big boy, he should get a haircut.

fp_7250472_metgala_ram_181_256

As for Gisele… meh. She's one of the few girls wearing McQueen, but I'm not sure if this gown is the best representation of McQueen's style in total, you know? Because I thought it was Oscar de la Renta. It looks like something Jennifer Garner would wear for the Oscars - not bad, per se, but not for Gisele, and not for this event. I also find Gisele's styling to be blah - she doesn't look "made up" at all. She looks like she just came from the beach, which doesn't "go" with the dress.

I guess I should say something about those now-defunct pregnancy rumors too - I don't see much of a belly on Gisele in these photos, so she was probably just bloated that day that I claimed she looked pregnant.

Rihanna in see through Stella McCartney at the Met Gala: just fug

Posted: 03 May 2011 07:43 AM PDT

fp_7249185_metgala_ram_22_2
Rihanna likes to push the envelope with her fashion, and compared to the ridiculous puffy sleeved tuxedo jacket she wore to the 2009 Met Gala, or what she regularly wears on the red carpet and out as clothes, this isn’t bad at first glance. When you realize that it’s see-through, though, and that the lace is kind of sparkly, that’s when you’re able to grasp how truly ugly this dress is. Also, it has a fish tail, a mono sleeve, and a kind of flesh colored cut out on the side that makes the dress look like it’s held together with spanx material. The gown was by Stella McCartney, who was also responsible for Gwyneth Paltrow’s dated look.

fp_7250907_metgala_ram_199_
Rihanna wore too-dark makeup with sort of purplish and green eyeshadow, very long fake eyelashes and cranberry colored lipstick. The worst part is her super long Pocahontas braid, though. Who knew that they made extensions in Ronald McDonald red? They must have dyed all that fake hair to match.

wenn5647150
Her Louboutin cage shoes are hot, but they look like an afterthought and like they’re not suited to this dress at all. I know some of you will disagree, and it’s possible that nothing could go with this dress.

Taylor Swift in pastel J. Mendel at the Met Gala: too sweet or not bad?

Posted: 03 May 2011 07:27 AM PDT

wenn5647041

UGH, Taylor Swift. God, this chick. I know some of you like her and some of you want me to stop giving her a hard time, and Imma let you finish, but THIS CHICK BUGS. Of course she chose a pastel J. Mendel gown for the Met Gala. OF COURSE. Of course her gown looked like a fancy prom gown. Of course.

Although I will give Swifty some credit… the dress is slightly interesting. The skirt has layers that look unfinished, like parts of the train were hacked off in the limo. So… everything is not super-perfect and sparkle-pony middle school. I guess I can also applaud her for not doing her hair in her standard "big soft country waves" and actually attempting to work a strong red lip.

But the pastels must stop. They're not even flattering on Swifty with her pale coloring! I would have loved to see this dress in a stronger color - a vivid blue or lavender would have been nice. But then where would Swifty be without her too-sweet ice cream colors?

Madonna in Stella McCartney at the Met Gala: surprisingly pretty or fug matron?

Posted: 03 May 2011 07:01 AM PDT

fp_7249197_metgala_ram_34_256

OH SNAP. You know how Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow are no longer BFFS, after an alleged falling-out over… God knows. Something to do with fraud trainer Tracy Anderson, and maybe Kabbalah. Maybe Goop, maybe it's just that too snotty bitch divas can't get along forever. Anyway, THE SCANDAL: Madonna wore Stella McCartney, JUST LIKE GWYNETH. And guess what? I think Madonna got the prettier Stella dress. Right?

fp_7249200_metgala_ram_37_256

So… yeah, I think Madonna looks kind of great here. Her face work (twerk) is under control and she doesn't look like someone just jammed a pair of two-big chicken cutlets into her cheeks. The hair is decent. And the dress is rather beautiful and (GASP) age-appropriate. Madge never wears anything age-appropriate, so seeing her all covered up and feminine, with her gristle and her thighs of doom under wraps is all rather… lovely.

I LOVE THE TRAIN. So pretty. I love the glittery stars. I love that Madonna surprised me by looking put together and pretty. Oh, Madge's date was her manager - Guy Oseary. He's cute. I think he's dating Bridget Moynahan.

fp_7249201_metgala_ram_38_256

So… do you think Gwyneth was pissed that Madge showed up in Stella too? And that Madge got the prettier dress while Gwyneth was stuck with some circa 1999 Michael Kors reject? I wonder if they even spoke to each other at the event.

Jessica Alba in Ralph Lauren at the Met Gala: sweet or messy?

Posted: 03 May 2011 06:53 AM PDT

Pregnant Jessica Alba wore a perfectly cute strapless Ralph Lauren Collection silver lame gown with a tulle overlay. I love how happy and sweet she looks. She doesn’t have her pose face on and in these shots there’s something genuinely likable about Jessica. It’s a change for her, and it looks like her second pregnancy has helped her take it down a notch.

wenn5647344
So I won’t nitpick her look too much, which was a little messy for me in some photos in that the fabric looked very wrinkled, but that’s how this type of fabric always looks. Overall she’s so pretty here. I love the beaded headband in her hair, which JustJared reports is actually a vintage 1920s necklace from Ralph Lauren.

wenn3321237
Her hair is lovely hanging loose in the front and pulled up in back. Her makeup looks understated and yet perfectly done with light peach lips, silver eyeshadow and some pale pink blush.

wenn3321227
It looks like Jessica will have some time off to care for her baby. According to IMDB she has just one movie coming up, Spy Kids 4, and it’s already finished filming.
