Gwyneth Paltrow unimpressed with Met Ball

Gwyneth Paltrow has risked the wrath of the organisers of the annual Costume Institute Gala after declaring this year's (13) glitzy event "too crowded and un-fun".

A host of A-list stars including Sarah Jessica Parker, Madonna and Nicole Richie were guests at fashion's biggest night, also known as the Met Ball, but the Iron Man beauty admits the high-profile affair wasn't her idea of a good time.

She is quoted as telling USA Today, "I'm never going again. It was so un-fun. It was boiling. It was too crowded. I did not enjoy it at all."

Gwyneth Paltrow ended up on critics' worst dressed lists after wearing a pretty pink Valentino Haute Couture gown to the punk-themed event, but she has defended her outfit choice to Vogue magazine, insisting, "I guess it's punk in that I've gone just totally classic on a punk night."
