MAYBE the cat ears on the bodice? But not really. It's glorious. ## Karolina Kurkova in Marchesa ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/488322021_10-419x6291.xml) SO glorious. So much glory in these first few slides, y'all. ## Emmy Rossum in Carolina Herrera ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/488321197-419x6531.xml) I LOVE it when people throw caution to the wind and go for a pattern, and this is SO spring and so wonderful. ## Ivanka Trump in Oscar de la Renta ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/ivanka_trump_met_ball_met_gala_488411097-419x6071.xml) I want to be reincarnated as that. ## Karlie Kloss in Oscar de la Renta ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/karlie_kloss_met_ball_met_gala_488380691-419x6101.xml) Insert longing sigh here. ## Kate Mara in Valentino ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/kate_mara_met_ball_met_gala488344125-419x6291.xml) It's nice to see her getting something major. There are TWO acting Maras, Universe. ## Janelle Monae in Tadashi Shoji ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/janelle_monae_met_ball_met_gala_488347361-419x6291.xml) I adore this. ## Arizona Muse in Ralph & Russo ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2014/05/arizona_muse_met_ball_met_gala_488334195-419x5901.jpg) And THANK GOD some dresses from this collection are getting attention. [That runway show was AMAZING](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/couture-week-fugs-and-fabs-ralph-russo-01-2014/). ## SJP in Oscar de la Renta ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2014/05/sarah_jessica_parker_SJP_met_gala_met_ball_488317841-419x5881.jpg) The back was where the money was, here, so that's what I'm showing. ## Charlize Theron in Dior ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2014/05/488343319-419x5451.jpg) Simpler, but still stunning. ## Hailee Steinfeld in Prabal Gurung ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/hailee_steinfeld_met_gala_met_ball_488318181-419x6291.xml) I agree with everyone who said the platforms were probably necessary to make her tall enough for the front to poke up properly, BUT a) could they not have altered it? and b) could they not have picked THOSE platforms? Even a basic ol' peeptoe Loub would've been nicer. ## Hayden Panettiere in Dennis Basso ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/hayden_panettiere_falls_met_ball_met_gala_488355059-419x6171.xml) Dennis Basso continues to captivate me with this flower pattern. ## Blake Lively in Gucci Premiere ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/blake-lively_ryan_reynoulds_met_ball_met_gala_488342949-419x6291.xml) Total old-school screen siren. ## Dita Von Teese in Zac Posen ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/488411155-419x6291.xml) Real talk: I actually hate what that bodice is doing to her boobs. But the craftsmanship of the fishtail is wonderful, and this is a VERY Posen event and a VERY apt gown for the night, plus a lot of you loved it, so I will close my crabby mouth. ## Lily Aldridge in Michael Kors ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/lily_aldridge_met_ball_met_gala_488355105-419x6291.xml) Another stunner. ## Kirsten Dunst in Rodarte ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/kirsten_dunst_rodarte_star_wars_met_ball_met_gala_488378213-419x6411.xml) Most of the May the Fourth Be With you jokes were kind of tiresome, but not this one. Love. ## Dakota Johnson in Jason Wu ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/dakota_johnson_met_ball_met_gala_488322863-419x6291.xml) I put this in at the last minute because it's lovely and felt unusual enough to hold its own -- I am not sure it will win, but I do think it deserves plaudits. ## Ashley Olsen in Chanel, we think, and Mary Kate (on the right) in Ferre, we think ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2014/05/ashley_olsen_mary-kate_olsen_met_ball_met_gala_488339677-419x5101.jpg) Judge them separately, even as they prefer not to separate. As an aside: I would stake my life on us having ID'd them correctly. It's in the eyes: Mary-Kate's are slightly further apart and slightly smaller, and she often also prefers a slightly thinner brow. If you look at them separately from another event -- [Ashley is here](https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/ashley-olsen-attends-the-opening-celebration-of-club-news-photo/187302690?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and [MK is here](https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/actress-mary-kate-olsen-attends-the-costume-institute-gala-news-photo/168284435?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- I think you will agree that, again, it is Ashley on the left, and MK on the right. ## Maggie Q in Zac Posen ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/488352397_10-419x6291.xml) I was not blown away by THIS, either -- is it supposed to look like I can see her tank top? -- but we had so many requests for it on Twitter that I am putting it in. It's at least big? And the skirt has the Posen flair to it that we've all said is so appropriate. ## Allison Williams in Oscar de la Renta ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/488321737_10-419x6251.xml) Simpler than Taylor Swift's, but fitted better and generally more successful. [Met Gala 2014: Fug Nation's Best DressedPresented in no particular order, and based mostly on our own opinions -- as the Head Crabapples in Charge here -- but also factoring in your reactions where we can. In situations where you loved something we hated -- like Maggie Gyllenhaal -- we always try to evaluate whether we think that person's dress could genuinely beat any of the others in a vote, and in this situation we decided Maggie was NOT likely to take it over some of this incredibly stiff competition. And with Brie Larson, whose suit was hilariously crazy in a way many of us adored even despite its hideousness, I left her out because I think there are too many deserving ball gowns that could and should win it instead, because they made the effort to be on-point (but the pants on Janelle Monae work for me because she found a way to give them ball-gown flair by adding that gorgeous cape, so she's in). Okay, caveats out of the way. It's not super scientific, so please try not to be enraged if your favorite was left off. Onto the poll. \[poll id="12249"\]![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/liu_wen_met_ball_met_gala_488322575-419x6291.xml)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/met-gala-2014-fug-nations-best-dressed-05-2014/)
