Not the Emmys: Taylor Momsen at the Met Opera opening night

The New York Times was especially irritable in its coverage of the Emmys (and that's saying something, considering the near universal panning Sunday's Emmycast has received in the media). So, for those jaded Gothamites who simply won't suffer another word about Los Angeles and its Emmy Awards—here's Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen looking very elegant for her years in crimson Marchesa at the Met Opera Gala in New York last night.
Yet to turn 16, Momsen (who plays Jenny Humphrey on the show) makes a chic statement in this pleated organza gown with crimson suede bodice. Aside from the red lipstick, which is a little OTT with her platinum hair and garnet dress, she looks divine. Compare and contrast with Phoebe Price, who attempted the Lady in Red look with disastrous results on the Emmy carpet. (Whoops—did I say Emmy again? Fiddlesticks!)
The Marchesa collection, designed by Georgina Chapman, is available at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom and specialty stores nationwide.
