## Rihanna in Comme de Garcons

This is objectively CRACKERS. But it's also radically weird, which fits the theme, and by the magic of Rihanna we're all still drawn to her face. Like, I'm not convinced those shoes aren't made of phone cords, and it's STILL all very lightly fun to me.

## Katy in Maison Margiela

I don't think she could move, or see, or even breathe that comfortably. She looks burdened and bedraggled, like a nun in a Satanic cult who had to hike for her life.

## Zendaya in D&G

She has been fun to watch evolve.

## Rita Ora in Marchesa

Oh look! It's a special Lexus Pandemic to Remember Sales Event!

## Ashley Graham in H&M

I was very impressed with how much sculptural fun she and H&M were able to accomplish. Beats all the Topshop stuff we've seen, hands down.

## Halle Berry in Versace

"This is flawless," I thought. "It's stunning work, and it's perfect on that staircase.

SURPRISE! SHE HAS A FRONTAL FUNGUS!

## Nicki Minaj in H&M

Nicki also looked deviously cool from behind...

... and underwhelmingly unimaginative from the front.

## Chrissy Teigen in Marchesa

"You bet your ASS I won that pillow fight."

## Priyanka Chopra in Ralph Lauren

I mean, okay, Carmen Sandiego, but you're only getting easier to find. (Amusingly, she attended with Nick Jonas, and we basically wrote, "Rumor has it they're dating?!? THAT feels cooked up for attention.")

## Tracee Ellis Ross in Comme de Garcons

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-commes-GettyImages-675585596-1493762813-640x965-1588828267.jpg)

She pulls off those disjointed angles with aplomb.

## Gwyneth in Calvin Klein

SNORE. And it doesn't even fit that well.

## Amy Schumer in Zac Posen

"Hex me. I dare you."

## Naomi Campbell (in Alaia) and Edward Enninful

She looks good; he looks a bit bored.

## Fei Fei Sun in Alberta Ferretti

Those sleeves are amazing

## Evan Rachel Wood in Altuzarra

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-altuzarra-GettyImages-675637478_master-1493769013-1588828163.jpg)

Evan found her invitation and thought, "Punk? Swell," not realizing it was the one from 2013.

## Madonna in Moschino

I am not sure "the red carpet is a battlefield" is quite the metaphor we were looking for here. She basically treats every red carpet like it's camp anyway.

## Salma Hayek

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-boots-GettyImages-675599020-1493782612-640x963-1588828172.jpg)

I don't know who made her dress -- one of her husband's labels -- but the boots are the stretchy Balenciaga bootaloons, and she had some competition on that front.

## Lily Aldridge in Ralph Lauren

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-ralph-boots-GettyImages-675621784-1493782598-640x880-1588828664.jpg)

Lily wore them, too, and with a more interesting dress. I think she bootalooned rings around Salma.

## Doutzen Kroes in Brock Collection

"I was told there would be a field of daisies to run through while someone read out a list of drug side effects? No?"

## Ruby Rose in Burberry

That's a nice dress on our new Batwoman.

## Selena Gomez in Coach

Coach is just so hard to take seriously as a dressmaker.

## Caroline Kennedy in Comme de Garcons

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-carolinekennedy-commes-GettyImages-675647966_master-1493841731-1588828201.jpg)

Yes, this was in the exhibit.

## Cara Delevingne in Chanel

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-chane-GettyImages-675607538_master-1493769003-1588828210.jpg)

... Again, when is that Intergalactic Met Gala theme coming? Everyone is ready.

## Leslie Mann in Chanel

Why is Chanel doing Herve Leger cosplay?

## Lily-Rose Depp in Chanel

That's better.

## Brie Larson in Chanel

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-chanel-GettyImages-675624762-1493781581-1588828243.jpg)

That's actually quite good too -- it looks MORE like Chanel, but without being hideous. But it's a bit sketchy where the two pieces join.

## Jemima Kirke

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-chanel-GettyImages-675613532-1493781562-1588828236.jpg)

"THIS was the best Karl could do for me?"

## Julianne Moore in Calvin Klein

Frothy and super fun

## Haley Bennett in Dolce & Gabbana

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-d-and-g-Haley-Bennett_2017-MET-Gala_May-1-2017-1493706868-1588828274.jpg)

Sometimes, people show up and I think, "Oh, you're doing LAST year's theme." This one almost would have worked better for the NEXT year, which no one knew yet. How is ANY of this Rei Kawakubo's flavor of avant-garde? She looks like Marie Antoinette in a perfume ad.

## Isabelle Huppert in Dior

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-dior-GettyImages-675625642-1493772773-1588828289.jpg)

## Allison Williams in DVF

That is... technically speaking... an absolute shit-ton of makeup.

## Emma Roberts in DVF

"I'm ready for my close-up. Except, I can't breathe?"

## Alexa Chung in DVF

This is different for her. I like it.

## Lena Dunham in Elizabeth Kennedy

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-elizbeth-kennedy-GettyImages-675600330-1493694778-1588828322.jpg)

This might have better-suited the Charles James theme, but here we are. Lena posted a memory of how she had a medical issue in the middle of the gala and had to sit in the bathroom until they could get her to the doctor. That is ... I mean, at least the Met probably has very *clean* bathrooms?

## Felicity Jones in Erdem

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-erdem-GettyImages-675604220_master-1493760272-1588828332.jpg)

She will never run out of buttons again.

## Claire Foy in Erdem

She looks like a sexy robot

## Laura Dern in Gabriela Hearst

This is a totally foxy dress by any metric...

... but then now it's flirting with me by having a surprise polka-dot explosion. You minx, you.

## Cassie and Diddy

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-GettyImages-675595614-1493698230-1588828369.jpg)

Remember this? Somehow when Diddy did this, it came off as amusing. If Justin Timberlake did it, we'd be like, "STOP MAKING IT ABOUT YOU." I freely admit to this double standard where JT is concerned.

## Dakota Johnson in Gucci

## Emmy Rossum in Carolina Herrera

Bee Shaffer ended up doing something like this -- sort of -- in 2019\. It's very well fitted on Emmy and it has personality. I'm in.

## Hailey Baldwin in Carolina Herrera

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-herrera-GettyImages-675699966_master-1493841782-1588828414.jpg)

It's so beige. Just like her. Also, I think she's about to free the nipple.

## Karlie Kloss in Carolina Herrera

That's trippy, but the too-bleached hair is even crazier

I feel like it would be impossible to have fun in this.

This is EASILY one of the best things she's ever worn.

## Maggie Gyllenhaal in Marni

Her earrings weirdly flow right into this. And her pants just keep on flowing.

## Elle Fanning in Miu Miu

Elle was told it was an Elle Fanning theme.

## Thandie Newton in Monse

She looked so bizarre and striking in this. It was one of the good Monses...

## Claire Danes in Monse

... and this was one of the bad ones. I know, I know, it probably matches the theme, but she looks like a pirate that got attacked by a shark.

## Reese in Mugler

So Mugler doesn't HAVE to involve nudity.

## Daisy Ridley in OdlR

I don't think this skirt hung well from the front at all.

It was MILDLY better for the staircase shot.

## Miranda Kerr in OdlR

I guess this is what happens when you run your dry cleaning through your laundry machines.

## The Olsens

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-olsns-GettyImages-675624682-1493758065-640x963-1588828599.jpg)

These two look like Olsen impersonators who were hired to drape themselves in lace and frown while the real Olsens are hanging out on an island with the real Avril Lavigne.

## Laura Osnes in Siriano

This was the year that Sarah Paulson FREAKED OUT when she realized she was walking the red carpet with Madonna. I wish I had liked her dress better.

## Lupita in Prada

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-prada-GettyImages-675621058-1493757332-1588828632.jpg)

Whereas this is frothy and refreshing. An Orange Julius in an apple juice world.

## Diane Kruger in Prada

I assume her boob tape is of the highest grade.

They made out all over the red carpet, in case anyone had forgotten about them.

THINK of the blasters Princess Leia could have tucked up her sleeves.

## Jennifer Lopez in Valentino

She must not have liked any of the on-theme options. At least she looks good.

## Ruth Negga in Valentino

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-valentino-GettyImages-675640602-1493706277-372x560-1588828764.jpg)

She looks like she's wearing a very lovely sandwich board.

## Lily Collins in Giambattista Valli

This is well done. At the time, Jessica was like, "I am just generally out of words about Lily Collins...?" and these years later I still feel that way.

## Hailee Steinfeld in Vera Wang

This certainly seems avant-garde in the appropriate ways, but it's also a terrible shroud

## Serena Williams in Versace

Lovely color on her, and also, this feels longer ago and also as if it was yesterday.

## Zoe Kravitz in OdlR

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2017-zoe-odlr-GettyImages-675599924-1493778715-1588828828.jpg)

The nice thing is, if your phone gets smudged, you can just walk up to Zoe and rub it on her arms and POOF. All clean.

## Blake and Ryan

I meant to leave her out of this as I did the Kardashians, because I had just done [a retrospective of her](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/blake-lively-has-worn-some-pretty-memorable-stuff-to-the-met-05-2020/), but I uploaded the photo by accident anyway and then ... screw it, I'm leaving it.

This is lovely and could have fit in a jillion other themes. At the end of the day, though -- and of the slideshow, aptly -- pretty is pretty is pretty.
