Kate Moss's Costume Gala Turban — Too Much Or Loving It?

May 4, 2009

Kate Moss showed up to tonight's Costume Institute Gala as expected in a turban and on the arm of Marc Jacobs. As two of the night's three hosts, along with Justin TImberlake, she and Marc were among the first to hit the red carpet. Kate's certainly more covered up than the last time we saw her, but sometimes more is actually less. Tell Fab how you feel about the look and here — is the turban too much or loving it?

Seeing as it's a costume gala, it's totally appropriate. Very old school glam.

People who don't like the turban don't understand fashion and probably have no clue who Paul Poiret is. I'm glad someone finally has the balls to wear this style.

Urgh - her outfit is just plain ugly, even if its not over the top, given the venue. I never understood why she was so admired, what with her extremely unpleasant face and very crooked legs. Calvin Klein, like Picasso, needed a muse, and she was it - but just like many of Picasso's muses, she's just not beautiful.

Kate's look was gorgeous in person. You have to see the front and back. Perhaps it doesn't photograph well, but she was certainly best-dressed last night. She has a killer back and legs. Gorgeous!

i think the outfit is great. we all knew that she was going to wear a turban so that's nothing surprising. i actually like the whole look.

I think this is the perfect ocasions where celebrities can wear as crazy things as they want, I mean. It's the Gala Institute. Everything is allowed in name of fashion right? I mean, where would she wear something like this instead without looking out of place??

Political correctness, here we go! :oy: Lighten up people! It's in a turban style, it can be called a turban, let's not get all technical about it. ANyway, I think it looks cute and I am not even a Kate fan. Plus, it's a costume gala, you're supposed to wear such outrageous things.

First of all, just because her head is wrapped up in material, does not mean she is wearing a turban - to assume so is offensive to people who actually wear turbans for their religious faith! Second of all, she looks ridiculous, as she always does.
