All hail!

Zoe Saldana gave us mod chicness at Monday's photocall, then effortlessly delivered high-octane glam at the Cannes premiere of Blood Ties just a few hours later.

AH-Mazing!

The actress looked dreamy in a muted greenish-gray Valentino gown with contrast white shoulders and a single pearl strap along the back.

David Yurman pearl earrings, bold scarlet lips, and a braided headband perfected her fairy tale look.

And with that, she just shot up a few more rungs on the imaginary style ladder in our head!

Gwyneth Paltrow hates the Met Gala more than the memory of all the days she spent eating affordable, non-organic food.

In other words: A LOT!

She admitted, on two separate occasions, that she had a DREADFUL time at the party, and apparently she even got the cold shoulder from Madonna, too!

So, how weird is it that the front page (above) of her Goop newsletter is ALL ABOUT the "un-fun" Met Ball?

Gwynnie even wrote about the party and surprisingly did not have one bad word to say about it:

"The Met Ball, at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art, is always the year's most elaborate display of incredible fashion and this year was no different. The theme was 'Punk: Chaos to Couture' and when the house of Valentino's Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri asked me to join them, I was thrilled to see what they would create with my right fashion hand, Elizabeth Saltzman."

Accompanying the short description are pictures (below) of the actress getting fitted with her decidedly non-punk Valentino gown.

Is this an attempt to make amends after all the bad-mouthing?

Maybe she wants an invite to next year's shindig after all!

If that's the case, we're not sure this'll be enough to get her back on Anna Wintour's good side.

Finally, someone speaks up!

Gwyneth Paltrow has been on a tear this past week, telling people how much she hated the Met Gala, but Chloe Sevigny has come to the rescue.

The fashion darling thinks the whole reason Gwynnie had a miserable time, besides being snubbed by Madonna, was because her Valentino sleeves were too tight!

Ha!

Chloe quipped:

"Maybe her sleeves were too tight. If you're in a dress where you can't breathe, then you're not comfortable. You have to wear comfortable shoes and an outfit you can be okay in."

You mean being covered in head to toe fabric with minimal ventilation isn't comfortable? You're kidding!

Miz Sevigny added:

"I think it depends on what table you're at, and who you're with, and obviously your attitude. But it's a lot of hoopla over not a lot. Everybody thinks it's so much pressure, and you do the carpet and it's such a big deal, and it's just a museum fund-raiser, you know?"

And it probably didn't help that Her Madgesty was hogging her BFFL Beyonce the entire night, either!

Oh well, the good news is Gwyneth won't have to worry about this again! We have a feeling all her trash talking has gotten her dis-invited to next year's bash.

She annihilated the competition, and now we see why!

Miley Cyrus was one sexy lady at the Maxim Hot 100 Party in Los Angeles Wednesday night at Create Nightclub.

She set the red green carpet on fire in her black Valentino jumpsuit, with a sexy white bow in the back, and black Saint Laurent heels.

Just before arriving, she wrote an ode to Valentino on her Twitter, saying:

Hallelujah!

Carey Mulligan's spread in Flaunt magazine's "Fabrication" issue is like a religious experience!

In a very Frida Kahlo-esque photo shoot, Carey dons a blunt bob and is photographed wearing a long Valentino laser cut dress amongst a sea of candles in what looks like an old Spanish church.

The rest of the shoot is just as colorful and inspiring as she is seen posing in various parts of a Spanish mission in Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel and Balenciaga.

All we have to say is muy linda y queremos más de Carey!

Such a departure from her Great Gatsby style, but we're not complaining!

Check out all of the fabulous shots (below)!

Fashion besties for LIFE!

Anne Hathaway and Valentino Garavani go way back — the actress has been showing the Italian designer major red carpet love for YEARS!

So, it was a shock when she ditched Valentino for a Prada dress at the Oscars back in February. You may even remember Annie's heartfelt apology to the designer following the whole dress fiasco.

But the 30-year-old made it up to her couturier by wearing a seXXXy, semi-sheer black gown to the Met Gala on Monday night.

Not only that, but she also walked the carpeted Met steps with Mr. Garavani by her side!

Aww, so sweet! Good on you, Anne!

And THAT'S how you cement your favor with a major designer forever!

Whoa! Anne Hathaway was prepared to part-ay!

After debuting her new blonde locks on the Met Gala red carpet last night, Anne had her party dress ready as she headed to the event's after party at the Standard wearing a completely different outfit!

Joined by her husband Adam Schulman (above), she slipped into a navy sequined-patterned mini dress, also by Valentino, and was all smiles as she showed off her bare legs.

Looks like she even styled her hair into a more casual look too!

We still can't get over that platinum blonde!

Are U lovin' it???
