Met Gala 2015 Madonna, Katy Perry's Moschino looks were awful+ Jeremy Scott goes dramatic on red carpet

Katy Perry stepped out in a graffiti dress byMoschino for the 2015 MET Gala and it was deeply confusing, apart from being totally way from the theme, the quirky style the designer/singer (whoever came up with the idea) was an epic fail!

Perry who chose the graffiti dress with matching gloves, Moschino bottle bag and aKris Jenner inspired pixie crop, looking overly colourful and a huge mess.

Madonna's cleavage was on display in a similar quirky look covered in white printed letters spelling out the fifty-six year old's latest album 'Rebel Heart' complete with a cape. She styled the look with leather gloves and a Moschino belt worn as cross bag.

The designer; Jeremy Scott  also stepped out in a Moschinosuit that almost matched Katy Perry's went dramatic -admiring his works- bowing down to Katy Perry and Madonna on the red carpet.

The show between Jeremy Scott, Madonna and Katy Perry was a dramatic one but that didn't take away from the epic failMoschno was on the red carpet or you don't agree? What do you think?

Floyd Mayweather has been sued for $20 million by his ex baby mama.

Josie Harris, who has three children with the star has filed a new lawsuit claiming the boxing champion destroyed her life with lies just to selfishly save himself.

In her suit, Harris claims Floyd lied through his teeth in an interview with Katie Couric weeks to his big fight when he said Josie was in a drug-fueled rage and he had to "restrain" her during their infamous 2010 domestic violence incident.

Apparently, Floyd was convicted of domestic violence and spent two months in jail.

Josie now explains she and Floyd had broken up but he flew into a jealous rage that night, broke into her home and viciously attacked her while she was sleeping on her couch. She says her kids are her witnesses.
