Is it Halloween already? 'Cause Martha Stewart looks dressed up as either an Emmy, an Oscar or a bowling trophy while attending New Yawk's Metropolitan Opera Opening Night Gala. This shapeless, shimmering frock is swimming on Ms. Stew, who clearly can't translate her home-decorating skills to couture. We haven't seen this much gold on one person since Michael Phelps. OK, it ain't a total nightmare—it's appropriate for her age and the high-class occasion, plus, M.S.' skin is glowing like her gown—just next time, hon, add at least a dash of a different color. How 'bout that colorful poncho from the joint? Loved it.
