Met Gala Best and Worst Looks of All Time:

Rihanna: In the year At the 2015 Met Gala, Rihanna wowed in a divisive Guo Pei dessert that became one of the most talked about looks in Met Gala history. The fur-trimmed off-the-shoulder gown revealed a huge filmy train of embroidery that stretched several feet behind her. The bold choice drew polarized responses, with some calling it a work of art and others mocking it online. The outfit’s slinky train evoked countless memories and drew comparisons from Big Bird to omelets to pizza.

Katy Perry: For the 2018 Met Gala themed “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” Katy Perry wore a stunning Versace gold mini dress with an antique bronze mesh overlay studded with Swarovski crystals. But it was the larger-than-life wings made of real feathers that stole the show. The intricate details and artistry of the wings wowed everyone and made Perry’s place in Met Gala history one of the most memorable looks of all time.

Madonna: Madonna’s 2016 Met Gala appearance was definitely one for the books, but not necessarily in a good way. Her black lace Givenchy gown was extremely skimpy and showed a lot of skin, made even more unusual by the fact that her arms and thighs were wrapped in KT tape, especially for sports injuries. It was a strange choice that left many wondering what the pop icon was trying to achieve with this look.

Lady Gaga: Lady Gaga’s custom Versace outfit at the 2019 Met Gala was a stunning ensemble that included four different looks, each more outrageous than the last. The first look was a yellow hot pink dress with an oversized bow, followed by a slim black dress with a long train. The third look was a form-fitting hot pink dress with a matching cape, and the final look was a black underwear-inspired bodysuit with fishnet stockings and platform boots. The dress was a perfect fit for the 2019 Met Gala’s “Camp: Notes on Fashion” theme, and confirmed Lady Gaga as a fashion icon.

Priyanka Chopra: Priyanka Chopra wore a silver Dior gown with a fringe and feather skirt for the 2019 Met Gala. The dress was inspired by the theme of “Camp: Notes in Fashion” and featured a thigh-high slit and a draped back. She also wears a crown-like headdress that sparkles under the lights. Her appearance was seen as stunning and magical but attracted some negative reactions from trolls and critics. Despite her out-of-competition look and unique appearance, she has been subjected to jokes and memes from the troll brigade, known for not featuring anyone.

Kim Kardashian: Kim Kardashian’s Thierry Mugler gown at the 2019 Met Gala was a standout look. The wet-look dress was designed to look like it was dripping wet, and featured a corset-style bodice that accentuated Kim’s curves. The dress also featured crystals that sparkled under the lights, and was paired with strappy heels and wet-look hair. The overall result was a modern take on old Hollywood glamour, and a bold and daring choice that received mixed reviews from fashion critics and fans alike. Nevertheless, it made an unforgettable impact on the Met Gala red carpet.

Deepika Padukone: At the 2019 Met Gala, Deepika Padukone’s pink gown was a standout look that showcased her unique style. Designed by Zac Posen, the gown featured a voluminous ball gown with a tiered train and a strapless bodice. The dress is made from a custom pink Lurex jacquard fabric and the bodice is hand quilted and covered with 3D printed pieces. The dress also featured a large bow at the back, adding to the drama and glamour.

Gigi Hadid: Gigi Hadid made a bold statement on the Met Gala 2022 red carpet in a stunning and seductive ensemble. The 27-year-old model wore an all-red Versace outfit, a boned burgundy corset over a tight latex jumpsuit, with a voluminous silk puffer jacket. She finished off her look with knee-high leather boots and matching jewelry around her neck. Her outfit was a bold and show-stopping choice, highlighting her unique sense of style and elegance.

Jennifer Lopez: Jennifer Lopez is known for her stunning fashion choices on the Met Gala red carpet. However, at the Met Gala 2021, she surprised everyone with a different look. Her dress was designed by Ralph Lauren and consisted of a brown faux fur cape, cowboy hat, and a beaded skirt reminiscent of a Wild West saloon girl outfit. She also wore a choker necklace and carried a clutch bag that looked like a vintage book. While many admired her confidence and willingness to take risks with her outfit, others felt it didn’t quite fit the 2021 Met Gala’s “In America: Fashion Dictionary” theme.
