Kristen Stewart - Met Ball 2012

Kristen Stewart hits the red carpet in style at the 2012 Met Ball held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday (May 7) in New York City.

Earlier in the day, Kristen was spotted leaving her hotel looking cool and chic in a leather jacket.

Be sure to catch Kristen in her upcoming film Snow White and the Huntsman, hitting theaters June 1.

This year’s Costume Institute Gala Benefit – celebrating the opening of the Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations exhibition – is co-chaired by Carey Mulligan, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, and designer Miuccia Prada.

Posture; fug!
Dress; fug!
Shoes; fug!

Oh, no…Yikes.

I’m not a fan of the dress either but come on guys, it’s the met ball, you’re supposed to wear artsy stuff, it’s always been like that

OMG – wth – hire a stylist or a new one. This is hideous!

GEESH Kristen would it kill you to at least smile, This is the only celebrity whom seems unhappy about being a celebrity. Sweetheart we can switch places, and i can attend fashion events, get free stuff, drink expensive wine, and travel around the world if you don’t want to. SMH

She is GORGEOUS!!!!!!

Wonkie eyes.

Her dress is being praised by fashion experts everywhere because that is what fashion is all about! Creating art and doing something different! I’m sick of everyone praising the safe choices! This was much more eye catching and beautiful in an artist way!

the_squad @ 05/07/2012 at 9:32 pm

I like the top part…not crazy about the bottom. Different shoes would have improved the look.

Pretty hair/makeup.

the_boyfriend @ 05/07/2012 at 9:33 pm

i actually like the dress, she’s edgy enough to pull it off.
but she flopped with her showing it off, girl still can’t pose, the whole awkward i dont give a damn thing isn’t cute anymore, she’s not newbie to this.

She’s too pretty for this. She looks like she’s going to the MTV awards, not a gala. I like the shoes, but not with that outfit.

Gorgeous….. as always. She rest herself in every way. love this person sooo real! <3

OMG! She’s soooooooooooooo boring!

Absolutely stunning!!!!

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww all wrong for the event.

Just look at her face. She’s thinking:

“I know you won’t like this. You think that I give a ****?”

Gotta love her!

there are not enough words to describe the fugliness of this look!

@Lucy:

I don’t care the “fashion experts” I have my OWN judgment! And I thought that dress is HORRIBLE and she looks totally ugly!

Her dress was chosen for her by the designer and I happen to love it! Its different and unique, cool and edgy…just like her! She can definitely pull it off!!!!

Looks like floor scraps.

No, no, no. That is all.

Fashion houses love this look because they know true fashion which is what this event is all about!! Jealous opinions do not matter.

sweetness @ 05/07/2012 at 9:40 pm

SHE. LOOKS. LIKE. A. CLOWN!!!!! RFLOL!
YIKES! !!!!!!!

Ugh, to her being so grubby!!!

Finally someone who is not afraid to be different!!!!!!!!!! Thank God for her!

@Paula: really? nobody loves this!!

So many jealous little girls here today! Pathetic!

this is not a good look.

She looks amazing!

Simply beautiful. Thats all.

I love how all the top fashion expert love Kristens look and are saying she looks hot and all the petty jealous girls on here are hating it! Just shows how ignorant those jealous girls are!

b***c get your hair done

Kristen is HOT!!!!!!

Body Language @ 05/07/2012 at 9:48 pm

Looks like she was forced to wear this
- so enthusiastic

@Lisa: really? where are “fashion experts” saying they love this? in your head? that doesnt count!

I hate people turning up in a simple dress! Kristen is edgy and so it the dress and I think that’s what this event is about however most people now just play it safe! To my the gala is about doing something that is unconventional and different! Kristen does this!

I think she looks fierce! Nobody but Kristen could pull this off!

I just love her! She rocks!

Whatever Kristen wears….people pay attention! Thats what its all about! Everyone commenting here just makes her more popular!

She is so pretty she would look great in anything!

No wonder everyone wants Kristen for their brands! Everyone loves to talk about her! Even petty comments fuel the fire for her increasing popularity and fame!

Beautiful girl is beautiful as always!

Last year she had an amazing dress and now this? really?

Ok twilight fans! stop it, the dress is not bad, but she makes it look awful… I think Ashley Greene looks so much better than her

All the fashion experts tweeting from the event loved kristens outfit and commended her interesting and different look.

Bold and daring is what the experts are saying!!! I agree! Fabulous look for the event in question. Sick of the boring safe choices!

Ashley Greene looks scary thin!!! I think she really needs some help! It worrying! Her dress was beautiful but boring!

Thank God for Kristen! Never boring!!!

Well all I can say is GROSS SLOUCHY..LOOKS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

“Kristen Stewart shines in Balenciaga” fashion expert.

“Kristen Stewart looks hot! More jessica rabbit than snow white!” fashion expert.

“Kristen looks fantastic in daring choice” fashion expert

“Kristen Stewart looks awesome!” fashion expert

“Kristen Stewart has arrived. So chic!” fashion expert.

Her face is flawless! And I have hair envy!!

“Kristen is beautiful” fashion expert.

“Kristen Stewart wows!” fashion expert

A TOTAL MESS

“Kristen shows off edgy style!” fashion expert

“We give her credit for doing something different” fashion expert

Oh dear!!! Jealous people everywhere! Just appreciate the marvel that is Kristen Stewart!!!!

Her face is stunning!!! I dont care what she wears! Just naturally beautiful!

@meg: omg! are you serious? twilight fans are so annoying! and people from twitter are not fashion experts!

and is not about being jealous!, she is a really pretty girl, but tonight she looks bad! is that so hard to understand twilight fans!?

meg here. Not a twi fan sorry but all those quotes came from actual fashion experts!!! Do a bit of research before you think you know it all!!!

“Kristen Stewart certainly stood out on the red carpet!” fashion expert.

I agree with the experts!! She did something daring and different! What is the point of this event if they are not going to do something different?

horrible, tacky not 4 the ocation. just a MESS.

Its Balenciaga people they don’t do classy normal stuff. Know your fashion.

She looks hot as always! Love her and her care free spirit!

This event is basically a runway! Kristens look was runway!!

I read her as being slightly embarrassed in this dress.

I just love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a COSTUME GALA for God sake!! What is wrong with you people??? Its supposed to be weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Sayeree: Excuse me but I happen to have strabismus and your commentary is really offensive. I don’t know if Kristen has it but to mock on someone’s condition that way is really unclassy. More mature over here would be appreciated.

She simply looks beautiful!

L E S B I A N

@@Am: yeah “fashion experts”!

Kristen vividly looks p!ssed.

Not my favorite, but she’s able to carry off the whole look. This suits her better than those safe and boring dresses that most of the other starving actresses are wearing.

How about you actually look up what the fashion experts are saying and you will see how wrong you are !!! All those positive quotes have come straightfrom them! Unless you are too scared to realize you are wrong!!

wow, between twihards and her tireless PR team, there’s tons of KoolAid being gulped down on this thread…

dress sucks. experts my a$s. ref. “emperor’s new clothes”.

quick! thumb it down fast, maybe it’ll become wrong!
-fat chance.

I love her!!!!!!!

so many haters here lol

Kristen and your visual are cool and hot! This is Balenciaga guys!

OH NO! Kristin NO!!!!! This is AWFUL!!!!! So embarrassed for her.

I like the dress, and the shoes are cool, but together they make a terrible outfit!

@@Am: OMG! STOP WITH THE FASHION EXPERTS THING!
first of all, a fashion expert is someone like Anna Wintour, Karl Lagerfeld, etc! not people from blogs or twitter.
second i have my own opinion! i don’t care what other people says!
and third i still think THIS TIME she looks bad!
that’s all!

such a natural and pretty girl!

LOL! twihards stop posting with different names.

I see the daily “Let’s Hate Kristen” convention is in session on here. What a shame you girls are so quick to judge Kristen’s thoughts and actions just to feel better about yourself. Kristen has a very successful career and her personal life is not so bad either…so she doesn’t need your approval in case you haven’t noticed. If you dislike Kristen so much why are reading stories about her? Lol

Kristen looked so beautiful tonight! I’m so glad she was able to rock those shoes considering her ankle injury. She’s amazing!!!

Faceless bullies is all they all! Kristen should not have to put up with being verbally abused on the internet by cowards.

aquarius64 @ 05/08/2012 at 12:11 am

Did she lose a bet? The dress is hideous. High fashion can still be butt ugly.

@Bella2: hahaha POOR kristen!

Kristen Stewart is better than you!

it’s like she just got out of bed & forgot there was an event.

Horrible, horrible outfit. I like K Stew and all but damn girl, fire your stylist.

Too casual. Fugly dress. Gross hair. Terrible shoes.

@Bella2: @Lpp:
hating her?, at least not me, i just think she looks really bad in this outfit, that’s my opinion… you’re taking this too serious!, nobody is judging her personally, because we don’t know her, and you don’t know her either!

Her face is so pretty!

man this girl is so over exposed .. no talent less looks & that damn grin makes you want to just hit her..

If you feel she’s overexposed, why do you keep paying attention to her and giving her hits? If you ignore her, it will go away (at least for you). I feel you are just not getting it.

someone had to say it @ 05/08/2012 at 1:20 am

a bowl of white rice is more exciting than this girl

barron797 @ 05/08/2012 at 1:26 am

I will never buy Balenciaga anything ever again.

SOMEBODY GAVE THIS CHIC SOME REALLY BAD ADVICE !

No one would wear that ugle whatever the heck it is!!

Atleast be honest. That is not good!

Not a great dress and she looks a bit too casual for Met Ball.
I like her Makeup.
I prefer her last year’s look, her hair, makeup and Dress were the best of the night.

That dress is probably worth about 9000 dollars or so maybe more since it’s Balenciaga but it’s hideous! I could find this for 20 bucks at a thrift store. There are some beautiful designer clothes and then there’s this. Outfits that look like they just slapped a bunch of different swatches together. Doesn’t make any sense to me! But whatever, to each his own.

Kristen was so gorgeous at the the last 2 premieres that I had high expectations. This is disapointing. Then again, Kristen is Kristen. The outfit does not do anything for her. Different shoes would have help, and maybe her hair up or something. She is not the only one wearing short dresses though.

@oh wow:

Ginnifer Flowers never never smiles, always looks spooked and like she is ready to jump you. See if you can find a photo of Ginnifer smiling. There are plenty of Kristen smiling.

I do not know why people do not understand that the MET GALA is supposed to be different and innovative! She was one of the only celebs to actually have the guts to break the mold and not just show up in a pretty ball gown!! Much respect Kristen!

balenciaga don’t do pink frilly dresses. Her hair looks too casual but overall she really embodies the brand: young, leather, red and black, cool chick.

I am not wild about the outfit but different shoes would have been better, and maybe a bit of attitude. In her defense, the Met is supposed to be daring and avant garde so the outfit is appropriate. Fearing harsh criticism, too many women go the safe away and end up wearing prom and princess-like dresses including some older women which is so sad. Kristen has been experimenting with fashion and maybe having fun but fashion is not truly her thing. She seems to be giving it a try and from a distance it looks like she is becoming a full fashionista but she is not. She will continue to give a try though but does not appear to want to turn it into a major component of her career and life. She understands that fashion and movies will go together and that she has to dress up for premieres and stuff but she will eventually become less and less part of the fashion scene. She tries and she is daring.

Kristen will wear what Kristen wants to wear. Just like Chloe Sevigny, the Olsens, and Tilda Swinton. They are of different ages but they wear different stuff that most people don’t like. That’s who they are.

kingkasyski @ 05/08/2012 at 3:06 am

This is not a prom or premier event,you’re supposed to be daring and different at this event,and Kristen got it right all the time!She don’t play it cutesie and princessy to look cute or to get the best dressed ,that is not what MET ball is all about.

sorry, these clothes are not “artistic”, are just very ugly! plus it doesn’t flatter her figure, she looks stubby and not comfortable at all in it, the shoes are horrible ….. and to complete the picture, her unchanging unhappy .expression…

siennagold @ 05/08/2012 at 3:38 am

Horrendous but with Kristen, it’s either hit or miss!

Total fug. Not even close to cute. C’mon, girl.

Can’t quite say that I love it but it is so good to see that her choosing something she can be comfortable in and not attempting gown type of dress. don’t like the shoes, but can’t come up with something that would have looked better. Pumps or ballerinas would have diminished the overall feel. Perhaps if shoes were blue instead of white the look appeared more put together.

Totally wrong shoes for the dress looks like she has on socks and high heels wrong pose and attitude what a mess

aquarius64 @ 05/08/2012 at 9:33 am

@Dee: Stewart is the face of Balenciaga. This is an example of the downside of being its rep: you are required to wear their clothes at major events, no matter if the outfit makes you look bad. If by chance this was Stewart’s choice, she made a wrong call. Either way she looks like she stepped out of a clown car.

Just because it was eye catching doesn’t make it good. It’s different and risky but not the type that will make a mark in the fashion world. It is bad, it’s not even her style. Maybe her stylist thought that it will get attention, and it did.

@FashionGal: she doesnt get to pick what she wears—-she just signed at contract to be the new face of balengcia and THEIR designer picked it—i seriously doubt kristen would have worn this if she had a choice—she immediately changed into her usual jeans for the party afterwards—good for you kristen!!!!!!

@gg:

that’s the problem! She DIDN’T pull it off. LOL

Well, I think she’s beautiful, but that dress …. AWFUL

WTF was this chick thinking? I mean Kristen has dressed better than this in the past, some of her outfits were nicer than this clashing one. The shoes are even worst. She’s not the best dresser but her past outfits have been better than this mess. The skirt is ugly and hideous. She looks like she has bandages on her feet or from a view the shoes look like sneakers with thick laces ??? Ugh.

singyyyyyyyyyyy @ 05/08/2012 at 2:31 pm

mess

Rose&Sage @ 05/08/2012 at 3:21 pm

but as you can go have something that is so fashionable is super ugly and above all her stylist or are blind or have dyslexia

Rose&Sage @ 05/08/2012 at 3:27 pm

but as you can go have something that is so fashionable is super ugly and above all her stylist or are blind or have dyslexia UGLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Anne Carol @ 05/08/2012 at 6:58 pm

I think this girl is bipolar. It is so strange. This is a visual disaster.

I am an abstract artist and I don’t care for the dress.
BUT…..I am a huge fan of Kristen!!!

Well, there is still next year, Kris!

I expected more from her but I will still support her.

I like kristen but the dress didn’t really work out for her…

Fugly as hell… The dress I mean! =)

Love Krissy either way!

Where the he’ll do you think you’re going kris?

What a HOT MESS she is!!!

Are you kidding me? This “frock” is what Balenciaga put Ms. Stewart in for the Met!!! Do they not like her or something? This is one of the worst outfits of the entire evening! I couldn’t make myself smile either if I was wearing this trash! She must have felt like a hobo compared to the other ladies present! I’ll bet she is re-thinking her affiliation with that particular fashion house!!! I wonder how long her contract is for? No wonder she couldn’t wait to change out of her dress! I like Kristen, and I think less of Balenciaga for putting her in such a get-up on such an important fashion night…
