Naomie Harris in Donna Karan

I love this. So much. Missing out on the theme doesn't always matter if your gown is fabulous, and this is.

Jennifer Lawrence and Marion Cotillard in Dior

Jennifer's dress is pretty, but needs a hoik, yawn, I'm tired of writing that. Neither of these seems that worth the effort? 

Jennifer Morrison

If Jennifer Lawrence is the sexy young widow, Jennifer Morrison is the sexy first wife who is SORT of grieving but mostly making out with people in the closet.

Rooney Mara in Givenchy

This is not exactly the same dress that Penelope Cruz wore two years prior. But it's PRETTY CLOSE. If they repurposed and tweaked an old design, then hooray for sustainability, but why not... make it punk? If ANYONE could have nailed this theme, it would be Lisbeth Salander, no? Disappointing.

Hailee Steinfeld in Donna Karan

This is adorable and delightful, for sure. Punk? No.

Heidi Klum in Marchesa

Is that skirt tailored at ALL?

Kirsten Dunst in Louis Vuitton

This is one of my favorite things she's ever worn. AND it's Louis Vuitton. Custom stuff is their strength.

Amber Heard in Pucci

Again: Lovely! Not punk, but lovely.

Emilia Clarke in Ralph Lauren

Zzz. Save it for another party.

Gwyneth Paltrow in Valentino

Gwyneth is capable of whimsy. We know this. Half the hideous shit she has worn recently, I think she's tried to pull off as whimsical, or at least winking. If she'd just HAVE A LITTLE FUN, she could really kill this. Sigh. I don't like this AND I find it tedious on a night where Gwynnie could've pulled off a cool surprise.

Katy Perry in D&G

She was five years premature with this one.

Carey Mulligan in Balenciaga

I do love this.

Emma Watsonin Prabal Gurung

By Hermione Granger's standards this actually is pretty punk.

Renee Zellweger in Prada

"I stapled a scarf to my hip! Bet you didn't see THAT rebellion coming!!!"

Linda Evangelista in Marchesa

Mary, Queen of Scots, was SO intrigued by this open-air palace and its embarrassing lack of passed apps.

Karen Elson

That's very good illusion netting. My eye does skip right past it

Mindy Kaling in Lela Rose

She looks fantastic. That color is forever on her.

Katie Holmes in Calvin Klein

"What could be more punk than leaving Tom Cruise in the middle of the night? What more must I do?"

Florence Welch in Givenchy

Man, they got a REALLY hot new potions teacher at Hogwarts.

Karlie Kloss in Louis Vuitton

"Girls! Come have mai tais on the lanai. There's cheesecake slices and PMS jokes by the dozen. It'll be a GAS!"

Taylor Swift in J. Mendel

This feels like it's trying to be too... regal?

Uma Thurman in Zac Posen

They were maybe a year early on this one.

Ashley Olsen in Dior

"What, this old thing? I was just at a Summoning, is all."

Maggie Gyllenhaal in Calvin Klein

You could slice bread with those boob darts

Zooey Deschanel in Tommy Hilfiger

Seersucker may seem punk if you're in the Hamptons, but... no, not even then, sorry.

Kate Upton in DVF

"Where am I? Where are the Mets?

Michelle Dockery in Burberry

Nicely done; would have worked anywhere.

Damian Lewis and Helen McCrory

Narcissa Malfoy looks DISHY in that. It also would have worked better in the 2014 gala, but alas, we are not psychics.

Kate Mara in Delpozo

It's a couture Hula outfit.

Blake Lively in Gucci

I've written about this dress already this week. Here it is again! Enjoy!

Leslie Mann

What a great dress. It feels almost like galactic art. When do we get the SPACE Met Gala?!?

Julianne Moore in Balenciaga

That's a lot of lovely pleating and it makes her into a rectangle.

Olivia Wilde in Calvin Klein

I am not sure menstrual belts are very punk.

Cameron Diaz in Stella

This feels like Stella trying to copy better-executed dresses elsewhere, BUT it's still fun on Cameron and I miss her.

Nicki Minaj in Hilfiger

This MIGHT be Video Vixen, but that's about it.

Minka Kelly

Eh.

Carolyn Murphy

I am ALSO fatigued with this type of dress, and she didn't make any effort to style it up.

Alexa Chung in Erdem

Likewise.

Chloe Sevigny in Proenza Schouler

"The last fortune I read, the woman sicced her cat on me. I charge double now."

Lena Dunham in Erdem

This is about as punk to me as something you'd find at Boden (where they sell Swiss dot stuff all the time).

Rita Ora in Thakoon

This is actually one of her better outfits.

Brooklyn Decker in Peter Pilotto

She looks GREAT in this fancy Lite Brite.

Kate Bosworth in Balmain

It could be worse. 

Claire Danes in Oscar de la Renta

This isn't quite ENOUGH makeup to edge this out.

Emmy Rossum in Donna Karan

Nor is this.

Diane Kruger

I just noticed her spiky handbag, so I could have put her with the others like it in the other slideshow. Oh well. I hope Pacey trod carefully on this night. It's precariously close to him.

Gavin and Gwen (in Maison Martin Margiela)

What a wretched semi-homemade mess.

Kate Beckinsale in Alberta Ferretti

"Listen up, cranky bloggers, many of us are just BEAUTIFUL and DON'T LIKE COSTUMES. Deal with it."

Met Gala 2013, Part II: Not So Punk

This was honestly such an easy theme!
