TheMet Galais one of the biggest nights in fashion.
It wasn’t until 1995 that Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour took over as co-chair.
There’s so much happening, but absolutely none of it is working.
Perry wore a custom piece by British designer John Galliano from the Maison Margiela Artisanal (viaVogue).
While the piece had potential, it’s the veil that sealed its coffin.
She looks like Lydia Deetz as she’s about to marry Beetlejuice in the 1988 cult classic film.
Unlike Lydia, Perry willingly chose to wear this outfit, and boy did she choose wrong.
Anna Wintour’s look for the 2004 Met Gala was … something.
She’s serving lampshade realness, so in a sense, she’s on theme.
The coat is the epitome of too much going on.
Sometimes less is more, and in this case, the less bejeweled, the better.
It’s as if a disco ball and a Disney princess had an unfortunate love child.
The shape does nothing for her, making her look pear-shaped and boxy at the same time.
Overall, it’s not her best look.
It’s baffling that this is a Prada design.
It’s an event honoring Prada is this really what the brand wanted on display?
Pharrell Williams (2017)
Pharrell, Pharrell, Pharrell.
For the Met Gala?
Pharrell Williams co-chaired with Katy Perry in 2017 (remember, she wore the Lydia Deetz wedding dress).
According toVogue, he’s in custom vintage jeans that read “Rei” across one knee.
How is it that the jeans are custom made, but they fit him like high-waters?
Perhaps that was intentional, but was it also intentional that his leather jacket looks two sizes too small?
His posture is awkward and stiff, as if he’s uncomfortable.
Jennifer Lawrence (2015)
This look can be summed up in one word: bland.
She wore a dress from Dior that did absolutely nothing for her figure.
It also cinches too high, giving her more of a pencil shape.
Going beyond her dress, Lawrence’s hair and makeup are also rather plain.
Her hair is essentially a messy bun and not in a way that seems planned.
Her makeup is simple and understated.
Law’s forgettable ensemble seems like a crime.
The bustier features black sequins and looks detached from the rest of the gown.
The skirt and train are a train wreck, no pun intended.
The fire ember pattern with the high slit is an eyesore.
What sends it over the top is the matching over-the-knee boots patterned over-the-knee boots should be illegal.
Finally, the obscenely long gloves and chunky belt are accessories that should’ve never been.
Co-chair Serena Williams wore a yellow Atelier Versace abomination that was embellished with pink leaves (viaVogue).
Instead, it looks like Big Bird jumped into a pile of fall leaves.
Idris Elba (2016)
Idris Elba is one of the sexiest men alive.
In fact, he was named so byPeople Magazinein 2018.
If you’re going to wear a tux or suit, at least make it interesting.
The theme was about the age of technology.
Where were the metallics and futuristic flair, Idris?
Zayn Malik wore a metal arm all “Winter Soldier”-style; where’s that level of commitment?
How could Elba serve butler vibes when T. Swift was giving futuristic extravaganza?
Let’s just say he left something to be desired.
Billie Eilish (2021)
Billie Eilishshocked the world when she debuted her platinum blonde locks onInstagramin 2021.
She dropped our jaws with her pinup cover forBritish Vogue.
Now, the 2021 Met as a whole was a hit or miss.
The theme “America: A Lexicon of Fashion” proved difficult for some of our favorite stars.
For the most part, Ms. Eilish understood the assignment.
She sported a nude tulle ball gown from Oscar de la Renta.
Eilish envisioned herself as a holiday Barbie, saying, “It was my favorite thing in the world.
I would ask for them for Christmas every single year.
The dresses, genuinely that was my inspiration” (viaPeople).
She definitely hit the mark.
Swift was almost unrecognizable with her jagged cut platinum bob, and dark plum lip.
Usually known for softer, all-American girl looks, Swift did a 180 with this metallic number.
That’s exactly what she served.
Take notes, Idris, because this right here is how you execute a technology-inspired theme.
The “As It Was” singer rocked head-to-toe Gucci.
He looks delicate and masculine all at once.
The shirt itself is a statement piece.
Though he donned all black, his rings brought a subtle pop of color.
The singer also painted his nails black and mint green for some extra flair.
A golden star to Harry Styles for this fit!
Her dress was Gucci by Tom Ford, and she looked as if she was dripping in diamonds.
The silhouette is iconic.
The massive and dramatic diamond earrings are iconic.
The one-shoulder semi-sheer top: you guessed it, iconic.
It’s simple without feeling bland.
It’s embellished without looking tacky.
The earrings are the perfect statement and don’t take away from the dress by any means.
She’s absolutely glowing in her makeup.
In other words, none of us are worthy.
Lady Gaga (2019)
Thetheme: “Camp: Notes on Fashion.”
Thehosts: Serena Williams, Harry Styles, Alessandro Michele, Anna Wintour, and Lady Gaga.
While they all served looks, Ms. Gaga was putting on a show.
Let’s just say, she out-Gaga’d Gaga.
Knowing the theme was camp, the “Bad Romance” singer took full advantage.
With a few pulls and adjustments, Gaga transformed into a Victorian style black gown with a matching umbrella.
“This is what culture is all about,” said Koshy as she watched.
Rihanna (2018)
Do we really have to explain this one?
Not to mention, she served heavenly realness with her pope-inspired headdress.
Rihanna could be the pope, but the pope could never be Rihanna.
In a red carpet interview with YouTube personality Liza Koshy forVogue, Rihanna said, “It feels expensive.
Rihanna completed the look with a pair of embellishedChristian Louboutin pumps.
