Part one is HERE! ALL of our 2025 Met Gala coverage is HERE! Get caught and get into this!

 

Andra Day in Jêróme Lamaar

It’s fine, but underwhelming, given her red carpet history. We’re so tired of pink.

 

Ayo Edebiri in Ferragamo

The beads are an homage to her father and grandfather and their shared Edo heritage. We’re not sure they coordinate well with the cropped tuxedo jacket, but it’s a dramatic and eye-catching look.

 

 

Bebe Rexha in Christian Siriano
Pin

Honestly one of the worst tuxedo-gown hybrids we’ve ever seen. We’re thrilled for Christian Siriano, but his work has gotten increasingly tacky of late.

 

Dua Lipa (in Chanel) and Callum Turner in Louis Vuitton

Could he be any more dull? All he wears is black suits. Go join the priesthood.

We suspect she’s going for a Josephine Baker vibe here, but we don’t think it suits her and that dress is hideously overdesigned.

 

Ciara in LaQuan Smith
Pin

LaQuan Smith served up the two tackiest dresses at the Met Gala – and honestly, probably two of the tackiest in its history.

 

Coco Jones in Manish Malhotra
Pin

It’s dramatic and luxe as hell, but all we can think of is barnacles.

 

Danielle Deadwyler in Who Decides War
Pin

We tend to hate most deconstructed designs (too gimmicky for our tastes), but this one really had us – until we got to that annoying hem situation.

 

FKA Twigs in Wales Bonner
Pin

You can have a feather skirt or a feather wrap, but you can’t have both at the same time, FKA. Also, the white is jarring against the beige and brown and tends to make the latter colors look dingy.

 

Gigi Hadid in Miu Miu
Pin

This is a recreation of a Josephine Baker gown and it looks spectacular on her. The 1940s hair looks great with it.

 

Halle Bailey in Coach
Pin

Here is a nice illustration of the little-known fashion maxim that you can have an exaggerated silhouette or you can a “busting out of my clothes” sort of thing, but when you do both at the same time, you’ve done a crime. This looks so awful on her that we don’t know how she went out in it.

 

Issa Rae in Ozwald Boateng
Pin

She’s on theme, because that’s a finely tailored suit, but it’s also so low-key as to not feel Met Gala-worthy.

 

Kylie Jenner in Ferragamo
Pin

We wanted to hate this (that sheer bodice is not to our tastes), but ultimately, we kept coming back to it because it’s such an interesting design and it’s so impeccably fitted to her, except in the bust but no one in her family can sport the correct cup size.

 

Lauryn Hill in Cheney Chan
Pin

This just feels like a bunch of random style elements slammed together.

 

Miley Cyrus in Alaïa
Pin

It’s a hot look. Not quite as dramatic as we’d like to see for these steps, but it’s fine.

 

Mindy Kaling in Harbison Studio
Pin

We realize this might sound like an insane thing to say about a Met Gala ensemble, but this could use a couple of edits. It’s striking as hell and she looks amazing in it, but the sash and all that hardware is almost literally dragging it down.

 

Nicki Minaj in Thom Browne
Pin

Definitely not of one of Browne’s better offerings for the night. It just feels like a standard TB design with a shit-ton of craft store flowers added to it.

 

Quinta Brunson in Sergio Hudson
Pin

This is pretty spectacular.

 

Serena Williams in Moncler
Pin

Pin

The dress is a little basic, except for the sheer panel, which we don’t like. The puffy opera coat is glorious.

 

Simone Biles in Harbison Studio
Pin

The color’s great but the proportions are terrible. Putting aside whether a short dress is appropriate for the Met Gala, that skirt length looks goofy on her. That train and bow are wildly disproportionate. And on top of everything else, it looks stiff and uncomfortable.

 

Usher (in Ralph Lauren) and Jennifer Goicoechea (in Sergio Hudson)
Pin

It’s a pretty fabulous take on his-and-hers tuxes.
