Sure, it's sedate for this event, but it's also flattering and not distracting and unlikely to result in anyone else breaking a limb. Also, this is the girl who wore Miss Muffet's tuffet to the Oscars. If ever a girl seemed likely to glue a bunch of curlers to the skirt or twirl it like a spaghetti noodle into a pile of tulle, it was Zoe. In fact, this was probably REALLY smart of her. On a night when everyone is going big, you get a lot more attention when you're the sedate yet sleek one at the party, than if you attempt to hijack it by out-looning everyone else. (Unless you are Katy Perry and your dress has is battery-operated.)
Parenthetically, in that vein, can we address rumors that Lady Gaga's big Met Ball performance outfit was just a crystal catsuit? No wonder she skipped the red carpet. I know I just patted Zoe on the back for being an oasis in a sea of WTF, but what kind of world is this when Lady Gaga is resorting to things first, and best, done by BRITNEY? Lord. Next you'll be telling me Patrick Dempsey, John Malkovich, and Frances McDormand will be in the next Transformers sequel. ... What? HOLY DAMN. As Jessica just said, that reads like a casting Mad Lib. Like, "[GREAT HAIR] and [VERY ACTORLY VILLAIN TYPE] and [RESPECTED INDIE DRAMATIST AND COMEDIENNE] will be co-starring in the new [SHIT BLOWS UP AND IS LOUD] by [NOTORIOUS NUTJOB]." Although I guess I'd go see that, so maybe it's going to work.
