Tonight’s Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala brought out fashion’s finest to feature the museum’s new exhibit, “American Woman: Fashioning A National Identity.” Kate Moss showed up on the arm of Marc Jacobs, Anna Wintour, Tory Burch, Margherita Missoni, Kate Hudson, Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake all walked the red carpet amongst other notables.
Here are a few of BeautySweetSpot’s Best of Beauty from the night (and they’re all blonde!):
Karen went on over 149 dates before meeting her luvah, Todd, and created this event for singles hoping it would help them speed up the process by having over 500 people in one place, and each date lasting only three minutes. Kate Hudson, or Andy Anderson in the movie, was challenged to date a guy (Matthew McConaughey) for ten days and do all of the what not to do’s to drive him away.
With the support of some of my single girlfriends who I dragged along with me, I put on my game face and tried to find a luvah like Karen for some of the dates, acting like myself and really enjoying the process and for others, I pulled a 180 and did a different dating faux paus for each to see how the guy would react.
Here’s what happened:
Victim 1: I kept having eye sex with the guy behind him.
His reaction: He ignored it at first and kept up with the conversation, then turned around to see what I was looking at and looked back at me and said, “Do you know him?” I said, “Not yet.” I couldn’t help but laugh. He did not take down my speed dating number.
Victim 2: I told him I believed we were meant to be because our speed dating numbers were very close to each other, asked him his sign, told him it went with mine and that I could already tell we belonged together.
His reaction: For starters, he didn’t take down my number at the end of the three minutes, which means he wasn’t interested. He told me he had no idea what his sign meant and asked me if I was “some kind of spiritual person or something.” He played along with me, answered my questions, but I thought it was really interesting when he told me he like planets….
Victim 3: I told him I wanted to get married and have tons of babies as soon as possible.
His reaction: His eyebrows rose and he smiled. He told me he lived in Hoboken and worked in the city then asked me what I did. I told him and tried to steer the conversation back to wanting to have a family. He completely ignored the statement. He did not take down my number.
Victim 4: I repeated everything he said.
His reaction: He actually wrote down my number! I’m not sure if he’ll really try to connect with me or not, but he pretended he was interested after our date. At first he just thought I wanted him to answer the questions he was asking me first, but then when I would repeat his answers he couldn’t start laughing. He had a great sense of humor.
Victim 5: I gave one word answers and didn’t say much.
His reaction: “Do you have anything to say? We only have three minutes.” He was a little shocked and frustrated, then started rattling out questions for me to answer on rapid fire. I just stared at him shaking my head, still giving very little. He also, didn’t take down my speed dating number.
Remember, these all happened within three minutes each! And… just for the record, yes, I did meet some very cute guys who I do hope to see again! 
Purple Lab NYC launched their new Luvah lip gloss that’s a double plumper with a 3D glossy effect. Soon to be available on HSN starting Feb. 18th so tune in!
Even though all of the Golden Globes nominees and presenters strutted their stilettos through puddles and found themselves battling umbrellas, most of them managed to light up the red carpet tonight. After watching E!‘s pre-show coverage of the highly anticipated red carpet arrivals and interviews I came up with BeautySweetSpot’s 2010 Golden Globe Beauty Awards.
Here are the top 5 best overall hair and makeup:
Olivia Wilde of House, which was nominated for Best Drama, wore a sparkling black Gucci gown with a deep plunging neckline that flattered her sexy bod in a classy way. Striking jet black eye liner helped to create a cat eye effect with smudged out dark shadow. She got it right by keeping her lips and cheeks to a minimum.
Fergie of Nine, which was up for five nominations! The singer/actress showed up with husband Josh Duhamel, wearing an elegant lilac floor length dress. Love her brunette locks, and I have to be honest, I don’t always think she’s a looker, but tonight, she got it right.
Kate Hudson of Nine always looks effortlessly chic. I was more into her hair and makeup then her Marchesa gown. The soft updo paired with pearl tassel earrings looked stunning on Kate.
January Jones of Mad Men rocked the red lip and she got it right. Keeping her eye makeup to a minimum and not letting accessories take away from the look. Never mind pairing it with a chic updo and black satin headband. Love.
Penelope Cruz, of Nine donned a Giorgio Armani Prive black mermaid gown on the red carpet. Her curls are very Hollywood, skin is glowing and makeup shades compliment her skin and hair color.
Which look is your favorite? Comment below and let me know.
