For an event known for its breathtaking fashion, with outfits that push the boundaries of what we know, we’d expect the creativity to be off the charts.
And they certainly are! But sometimes designers and celebrities can go a bit overboard with their accessories and fits. While this fits perfectly into what the Met Gala is all about, there are guaranteed to be a few entries that just aren’t that pleasing to the eye.
For this year, the dress code was labeled as “Tailored For You,” where guests are expected to wear something that represents menswear or suiting. But some stars decided to go a little over — or not follow the theme at all.
Here are our top picks for the looks that made us say one word: yikes.

Halle Berry
Everything could’ve worked out so well if the stripes on her dress weren’t see-through. It feels a little bare and incomplete, and it doesn’t even cover her up decently — perhaps a nice silver would’ve been a good finish to the look.
Gerry Higgins 8 months ago
It looks cheep. Like something a low class hooker would wear, or a rap star's girl.
Auntriarch 8 months ago (edited)
It's lovely and well fitted, but as my nan used to say, you're not going out without a petticoat.

Jenna Ortega
Jenna Ortega can pretty much rock any look, but having so many metallic rulers dangling on her bare skin can’t be the warmest experience.
Upstaged75 8 months ago
Looks like someone fastened a bunch of metal rulers together. It also looks painful!
Moonie Pinkslip 8 months ago
It looks great, but had nothing to do with the theme of the MET Gala
#3
Jessica Kayll
Jessica Kayll definitely stopped by a flower shop on her way to the Met Gala — and then proceeded to buy everything and stick it all to her white outfit.
The petals are a nice touch, but maybe toning it down would’ve had a better effect.
#4
Cole Escola
Cole Escola feels like an overwhelming dose of summer as the weather warms up — but not in a way that’s welcome. The colors are too bright, and the comedian’s hair has definitely seen better days.
David Paterson 8 months ago
The clothing is great. The face is hideous. Change the face for the exact opposite shape, make-up and hairstyle and the outfit could work.

Helen Lasichanh
Did Helen Lasichanh forget to bring her pants?
Don’t get us wrong, she definitely pulls it off, the all-black suits her well. But it seems a little bare with only sheer tights covering her bottom half.
Upstaged75 8 months ago
That's the 2nd person I've seen with no pants and LV tights. Is LV trying to save money on fabric by having the women go without bottoms?
Marie 8 months ago
I guess it's a great way to peddle their $500 pantyhose. It's "cheap" enough that some normies will buy them, no matter how overpriced they are.

#6
Colman Domingo
And for this year’s Met Gala, Colman Domingo decided to come as an extravagant curtain.
It’s certainly a creative take on this year’s theme of Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, but to us, the robe seems to cover a bit too much, and it definitely looks a little suffocating.
DEW 8 months ago
His outfit looks like an outdoor umbrella. He just needs a crank at the bottom.
Jane Doe 8 months ago
As they struggle to outshine and outshock each other, someone will have a crank next year.

This looks like a pleated tablecloth made into poncho/cape with a bedazzled doily thrown over his head. Now, don't get me wrong, it's a well bedazzled doily, but still looks like a doily. What he was wearing under the tablecloth/cape was much better.
Brandi VanSteenwyk 8 months ago
This was an illusion. The curtain covered what he was REALLY presenting himself in. And THAT was very successful.
Foxglove🇮🇪 8 months ago
At least the cloak hides the mishmash of spots and stripes he wore underneath
#7
Walton Goggins
The skirt and the patterns on the fabric don’t exactly save the look or make Walton Goggins stand out amongst what is surely a sea of black and white.
Upstaged75 8 months ago
Did he make it himself? Looks like it's inside out and the stitching isn't finished.
Rebecca Ferguson 8 months ago
This is a crime against tailoring. There's not a single sense of continuity to this design, just a lot of scraps. It's awful and he looks really clownish.
Vicky Salías 8 months ago
I think it's the best look from the gala! It's usual tailoring metalanguage made by Thom Browne who uses the process in the finished piece. Magic!
#8
Amelia Gray
Underwear is typically supposed to go beneath your clothing, and it definitely doesn’t look good if it’s the other way around. While the rest of Amelia Gray’s outfit isn’t half-bad, this is definitely proof of the former statement.
Auntriarch 8 months ago
Looks like the disposable knickers I was given in an unscheduled overnight hospital stay

Doja Cat
Creativity is always something that’s applauded, especially at a fashion event like the Met Gala, but having a bulky seat and an even bulkier leopard print on the front of an outfit is hard to pull off — even for someone like Doja Cat.
Brandi VanSteenwyk 8 months ago
Her eye shadow should have been done to match the rusty hues on the front of the bustier.
#10
Chappell Roan
Chappell Roan kind of looks like she’s going to a rock concert instead of the Met Gala. The colors fit her vibe and so does the makeup, but it isn’t exactly on theme here.
But as one person said, “that is a femininomenon if i’ve ever seen one omfg.”
Melissa Harris 8 months ago
Looks like she raided Ziggy Statdust's closet for that suit. It's on theme so give it to her.
#11
Lisa
It’s a fabulous look on her, and she did a great job sticking to the theme. However, the no-pants look isn’t quite working for us just because it feels as if something is missing.
Upstaged75 8 months ago
Again with the LV tights! Put some pants or a skirt on these poor women.
Rebecca Ferguson 8 months ago
Just looks like she forgot her skirt or pants. It looks too in between to make a definite statement.
Moonie Pinkslip 8 months ago
Who on earth is this person?? And who tries to make a "one name fame" thing out of "Lisa"?!!
Broccoli 8 months ago
Lisa is a K-pop idol from the girl group blackpink. She is probably the most successful female K-pop idol, and she is great at dancing. She is Thai, and her Thai name is Lalisa Manobal. She is known as Lalisa or Lisa. She has 106 million followers on instagram and one of her music videos has 1 billion views. Just because she likes to use her first name doesn’t mean she’s trying to make a one name fame out of that name

Zuri Hall
It’s just a headache to keep track of everything going on with the dress. The actress unsurprisingly looks stunning, but her outfit looks as if there are too many sleeves with not enough space to put them together.
Upstaged75 8 months ago
That's kind of clever. Don't like the label right in the middle of her chest.
WonderWoman 8 months ago
Agreed, I think it would have been cute if it looked like they cut the label out

This is FUN! She's laughing at people who take this fashion trainwreck called 'The Met Ball' too seriously.
#13
Natasha Poonawalla
The shape of Natasha Poonawalla’s dress looks exactly like a decorative fountain. With the flare tiers and the dangling pearls, it adds into that image even more.
It also can’t be easy to look around or relax in that neckpiece.
Rebecca Ferguson 8 months ago
Love the colour, fabric and print but it doesn't match the theme in any way. And why the weird Elizabethan collar??
Howl's sleeping castle 8 months ago
What's the story? I can see people and horses in the dress
#14
Venus Williams
It sort of looks like Venus Williams had to hurry to the Met Gala after her tennis match, throwing a huge black robe over her uniform.
She still rocks the look, of course. But the two pieces of clothing don’t feel very cohesive.
#15
Jordan Casteel
It’s just pretty difficult to find a shape for the outfit. There are so many add-ins that it looks a little messy and overwhelming.
WonderWoman 8 months ago
Oh no, this is just sad and insulting to the wearer. She is drowning in unnecessary fabric draped like she let her young children do it.
Kika González 8 months ago
That looks like: throw a c**p ton of fabric on the mannequin and then cinched it around the neck

Cinna just had a heart attack in the background, and the tribute is either humiliated beyond belief or thinking about murdering their stylist in their sleep.

Kim Kardashian
From the front, Kim Kardashian’s outfit actually looks quite good with the way it hugs her body, as well as the brief silver accessories. But the low-hanging skirt is making us worried it’ll cause a wardrobe malfunction the moment she sits down.
WonderWoman 8 months ago
Why is she invited? Why are the entirety of that trash family invited anywhere?
Gerry Higgins 8 months ago
There's nothing new here. Nothing that hasn't been done to the point of cliché.
#17
Natasha Lyonne
Maybe Natasha Lyonne just finds New York’s the Met to be really cold, and we can’t blame her for that. But take away the excessive ruffles around her neck, and you’ve got yourself a great look!
Robyn Hill 8 months ago
When celebrities are choosing to wear these things to the Met Gala, do they actually look in a mirror before they make that decision?

They pick a designer and that desinger makes the look they are forced to wear.

If the pants didn’t bulge out the way they did, Tracee Ellis Ross’ outfit probably would’ve been near perfect. But as it stands, the shape does not suit the rest of the look.

Savannah James
It’s a miracle that Savannah James manages to somewhat pull this off, but we’re cringing just looking at the bottom half of it. How can she even walk in that?
Melissa Harris 8 months ago
The top part is giving naughty teacher vibes while the bottom looks like a beach umbrella.

The fit is terrible!!!look at the pucker across the front panel of the skirt. It she tries to sit something is gonna go rip.

Is she cold? Is she hot? We really can’t tell based on the mixed signals the hood and the short skirt are sending.

Michael Braun
Close enough… welcome to the Met Gala, Mickey Mouse!
Now, of course, the design isn’t actually the famous cartoon character but the black, white, and red certainly reminded us of such.
#22
Alicia Keys
The colors and the design are nice, but besides that, it’s a little too much.
Her crazy headpiece and over-the-top scarf-like accessory should probably have been toned down a little.
Nira Amana 8 months ago
Hair and the extra fabric she is dragging with her as a blanket. Better hairstyle, ditch the oversized cloth and the outfit would be ok

Hey, I don't hate this, I would also bring blankets everywhere if I could.

Gustav Magnar Witzoe
We’re a fan of the suitcase. And we’re a fan of the all-white outfit.
But putting both together doesn’t really go well, in our opinion. Perhaps adding more red to the rest of his jacket and pants could’ve gone a long way because as it stands now, the roses in the suitcase are too attention-grabbing.
carol bland 7 months ago
A rose in his lapel, or a hanky in his pocket would have made such a difference. Missed a trick!
#24
Sabrina Carpenter
We’re just wishing the celebrities this year would invest in some pants. It does work well for Sabrina Carpenter’s leotard and blazer, but it could work even better with something to cover her legs.
Lulu Waters 8 months ago
This isn’t the 1950’s. She doesn’t, nor does anyone else need to “cover their legs”
Shannon Vollemans 8 months ago
Why exactly do the legs need cover up? The outfit is chique and s**y. Beautiful.
Melissa Harris 8 months ago (edited)
Now this look needed some fancy tights. It's her makeup that's not doing it for me. She looks uncanny and her hair a bit to messy for such a structured look.
#25
Patrick Schwarzenegger
We get what Patrick Schwarzenegger was doing with the purse — it does match his belt well. But it just looks strange dangling in his hand.
Fluffy Cat Sleeps 8 months ago (edited)
Who cares about the purse. The outfit just seems unflattering
Melissa Harris 8 months ago
The clutch is as unflattering on him as it is on every other woman that doesn't know what to do with her hands while holding one. I'm never a fan of baggy tailoring but like the bright yellow shirt and red accessories with the suit material.
#26
Pusha T
The excessive jewels by the sleeves of Pusha T’s suit were honestly a genius addition to the whole look, but it looks so much like dandruff or snow that it’s throwing us off.
#27
Emma Chamberlain
From the front, Emma Chamberlain’s dress has a nice unique touch to it. But from the back… it all disappears, quite literally.
It seems the tailor ran out of fabric when working on the second half of the outfit.
Melissa Harris 8 months ago
A s**y back reveal is more tasteful and feels more risqué then for going bottoms and wearing nothing but knickers.
Marla Moops 8 months ago
The 1995 haircut and glasses + chopped attempted vintage dress is overwhelming. Reminds me of every cashier at a Podunk gas station in early 90's
#28
Nicki Minaj
Balance doesn’t really exist with Nicki Minaj’s outfit. The right half of her outfit is too bare and the left half flourishes too much — mixing up the two would’ve helped.
“She’s allergic to serving,” one critic wrote.

She looks deeply disappointed about being in an outfit that is actually on theme 🤣

Replacing the neckpiece with a simple necklace probably would’ve saved the look. As it stands now, it seems as if it’s suffocating the model.
Shannon Murdock 8 months ago
Her skin is luminous. So beautiful. I agree the collar is a bit much, but the pink goes perfectly with her skin.
#30
Bad Bunny
There is a lot going on here… and it has to do with his accessories, rather than his outfit.
That’s an awfully large bag to carry around, and the yellow doesn’t match with his shirt or suit. Not to mention, the hat looks pretty similar to a bird’s nest.
#31
Simone Biles
Similar to Venus Williams, Simone Biles’ outfit looks very similar to what she would wear as a gymnastic leotard. Yes, the collar, purse, and bow add to it and most would know this is definitely not a sports outfit — but we can’t help thinking that a longer dress would have worked wonders.
#32
Nicole Phelps
Does anyone think Nicole Phelps is going to use her feathers and fly out of there?
The black and the silver sparkles certainly go well together. But it feels as if the outfit in general is drowning her. Besides, the feathers aren’t the most flattering.
Amanda Causey 8 months ago
I want to get away, I wanna fly away. Bonus point if you know what I'm talking about

Joey King
There are so many pins that it’s making our eyes hurt, just looking at it. In addition, the green, red, and yellow don’t blend in with each other very well.

In a deep green velvet, instead of that print, it would have been elegant.

Janelle Monáe
It’s giving steampunk, which is a great look for Janelle Monáe! But she doesn’t exactly stand out at a prestigious fashion event like the Met Gala.
#35
Anthony Pratt
Anthony Pratt really wants us to remember that recycling is important — but perhaps the Met Gala isn’t the place to broadcast that message. At least in this direct, in-your-face approach.
Melissa Harris 8 months ago (edited)
The suit and shirt are too much together. The colors make him look like a Subway wapper.
#36
Gabby Thomas
The off-the-shoulder sleeves just look so much like broken lampshades that it’s hard to ignore. Other than that, the color and the style do their job well.
#37
Evan Ross
Going without a shirt is a choice, and going with a shirt is a choice. It seems as if Evan Ross didn’t know which route to take.
On the bright side, everything else has good, solid designs, and the emerald necklace was a great addition.
#38
Vera Wang
Vera Wang usually has such great outfits and we could’ve said the same about this one, if it weren’t for the feathers at the bottom.
Perhaps she just wants to dust any debris on the floor out of her way?
sfgothgirl 8 months ago
😥 she looks like somebody's been holding her prisoner and not feeding her. This is really sad
#39
Alex Consani
Having a section of black fabric instead of bare skin would’ve done wonders for Alex Consani’s look, in our opinion. The X-cross right below her chest does add an extra bling and looks comfortable to the eye.

Does Hildy Kuryk-Bernstein know she’s attending the Met Gala and not a business meeting?

I don’t like this kid. His ego is HUGE for what he has accomplished. He’s truly the nepo baby that thinks all of his parents accomplishments should be recognized for him. That said, I don’t hate the outfit, it’s actually quite nice. But the wire is just a stupid, unnecessary ‘look at me!’ addition that ruins the look.
