Fashion was on high display at this year’s Met Gala, celebrating the theme “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.”
Of course, the night drew a mix of spectacular and not-so-spectacular looks from those who attended.
Let’s take a look at the night’s best-dressed first, withΒ Billie Eilish,Β Lil Nas XΒ (and his multiple wardrobe changes)Β andΒ Jennifer HudsonΒ being hailed by social media users as the night’s winners.
Hudson’sΒ crimson gown paid homage toΒ a classicΒ Aretha FranklinΒ look, with fans praising the birthday girl forΒ her “chic” appearance.
Eilish also seemingly paid tribute to an icon of the past, with her blush pink gown drawing comparisons to the lateΒ Marilyn Monroe.Β One fanΒ dubbedΒ her “a real Disney princess” in a tweet that amassed over 3,000 likes in an hour.
Lil Nas X was like a Russian doll on Monday night — arriving in an oversized gold, velvet Versace cloak that revealed gold armor underneath and — under the armor — was aΒ bedazzled gold and black bodysuit.Β Β Queer Eye‘sΒ Bobby BerkΒ declaredΒ him the winner of the night.
Keke Palmer,Β Simu Liu,Β Lupita Nyong’oΒ andΒ Gabrielle UnionΒ were also praised for their classy attire.
As for the worst dressed,Β Kim Kardashian,Β Dan LevyΒ andΒ Addison RaeΒ were blasted online for their polarizing looks.
Kardashian’s all-black bodysuit that covered her up to her head was derided on social media, withΒ some comparingΒ her look to that of a Xenomorph from theΒ AlienΒ franchise.
Levy’s puffy-shouldered bodysuit was panned, withΒ one fanΒ saying he looked like “one ofΒ Seth Rogen‘s vases.”
Rae’s red dress flopped with Met Gala critics — with oneΒ remarking, “Why’s Addison Rae got the Karen trim.”
Also among the worst dressed, according to critics, wereΒ Kim Petras,Β Pete Davidson,Β Lorde,Β Cara DelevingneΒ andΒ Kristen Stewart.
