Ballgowns or hula hoops?
I love the contrast between these two events, held one day after each other on opposite sides of the country. The first one was focused on outdoor summertime fun, while the other was centered around fashion and glamor. The only thing that these events had in common, of course, was that they were both attended by multiple young actresses.

Peyton List, 16, and G Hannelius, 15, hosted the event, which benefited therapeutic art programs for domestic violence victims.

The 2014 Met Gala

Shailene Woodley, 22, and Kristen Stewart, 24, both wore thigh-length skirts beneath longer transparent skirts.
Selena Gomez, 21, wore an elegant burgundy gown, and Emma Stone, 25, wore a shirt-and-skirt combination in purple and pink.
