Yay or Nay: Lily Collins at Met Gala 2012

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday May 14, 2012185 comments


I will freely admit that Lily Collins is my very latest, and hugest girl crush. She reminds me of a fresh faced, modern Audrey Hepburn. I think it's those fabulous and natural eyebrows that get me. Ms. Collins is a rising star at the moment. But as Snow White in the anticipated movie Mirror, Mirror, I think Lily is poised to become a major force to be reckoned with. 

As such a young, emerging starlet, you'd think that Lily would be glamming it up. However, it seems maybe she took some inspiration from Taylor Swift at last fashion week and she pulled a major dowdy, victorian-esque look. Lily, this is my message to you: I am not pleased. 


From the neck up, Lily looks incredible. Her makeup and hair is simple but elegant. Her eyes are gorgeously framed and she looks like she's glowing. From the neck down, it's a different story. This dress is awful. Too much fabric, too high of a collar and long sleeves, why all the covering up, Lily? Show off that body of yours!

This dress reminds me of a pair of ugly curtains in a depressing second hand store. I just cannot for the life of me figure out why Lily chose this outfit. It makes me so sad to see her look so frumpy. Next time, Lily, have some fun with your outfit. Go with colour and a bolder pattern and show some skin, lady! 

What do you think of this outfit? Am I right? Is this one a yay or a nay? Leave a comment with your vote by May 20th for your chance to win a prize!

Nay. It just doesn't look right to me at all. Just kind of blah and fluppy

She looks nice, but the dress is a mistake. It terrifies.

Unfortunately nay. I love Lily Collins and I think she is incredible but this dress just doesn't work. Not only is the style too old fashioned to be called vintage, but the material is a little bit weird and bunchy. The upside is that I'm sure Lily will be around for awhile and have many more opportunities to wow us with her fashion choices.

Yay, barely. I would much prefer a plain under layer, but the lace is Gorgeous!

Nay. It ages her and I don't think anyone could pull this off.

I say YAY! I think this look works great for her, it may not work well on everyone but she pulls it off!

Where someone has the opportunity and means to wear beautiful clothes they should take every advantage! I know I would! But this dress is not glamorous or elegant. It's dowdy and frumpy! Nay... definite nay.
