(Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) This. Outfit. Is. Hilarious. She's like a cross between a gold android and The Golden Girls. ## Maggie Gyllenhaal in Valentino ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488348253-1588784631.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Maggie Gyllenhaal attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) I was going to put this in the Big Dresses slideshow, but then I realized that is not attached. It's just a matching cloak... ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488347377-1588784622.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Maggie Gyllenhaal attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) ... which she ultimately shed, and now she's just Mod Twister. ## Gabrielle Union in Prada ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488322815_10-1588784557.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Actress Gabrielle Union attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) So many old VHS tapes died to make that skirt ## Diane Kruger in Jason Wu ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488333395_10-1588784567.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Diane Kruger attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) "It's a bonus skirt. Do you not bring one with you, too? It's JUST me?" ## Selena Gomez in DVF ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488333573_10-1588784576.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Selena Gomez attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) This is a very Macy's design to me -- and I don't have anything against department stores; I just feel like when you're someone's guest at the Met they need to conjure something a bit more special. ## Lea Michele in Altuzarra ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488334039_10-1588784584.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Lea Michele attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) Wait, if there's a whole pouch sewn to the outside, why is she bothering with a clutch? ## Kristen Stewart in Chanel ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488339791-1588784603.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Actress Kristen Stewart attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) This needed to stick with being a mini, right ## Gugu Mbatha-Raw in Lanvin ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488339801_10-1588784613.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Gugu Mbatha-Raw attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) I want this to be MORE ## Rosamund Pike in LV ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488348477-1588784640.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Rosamund Pike attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) I keep writing ROSAMUND PUKE by mistake. Which is not fair to her excellent face, but some of her clothes do qualify. ## Posh and Becks in Ralph Lauren ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488352129_10-1588784648.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: David Beckham and Victoria Beckham attend the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City.

(Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) Did this need the geometric chalk outline? ## Margot Robbie in Prada ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488353289-1588784657.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Margot Robbie attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) This was one of Prada's most ghastly years. This is SO AWFUL. It's a goodie bag at a clown party. ## Adele Exarchopoulos in Prada ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488355387-1588784666.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Actress Adele Exarchopoulos attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) Better -- the skirt is super -- but the seams on the bodice leave me cold. ## Stacy Martin in Prada ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488356637-1588784694.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Stacy Martin attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) How cute this might have been with a real shirt. ## Dianna Agron in Miu Miu ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488376451-1588784713.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Dianna Agron attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) This is so much better than the Pradas! They should all sue. ## Michelle Monaghan in Altuzarra ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488355439_10-1588784674.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Actress Michelle Monaghan attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) I really like this, for a different occasion. ## Chloe Grace Moretz in Chanel ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488355839-1588784685.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Chloe Grace Moretz attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) Karl has brought some half-baked cowboy wretchedness to the party. ## Naomi Watts in Givenchy ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488356749-1588784703.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Naomi Watts attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City.

(Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) "Is this punk? Did I do it? Is it... wait, that theme was WHEN? Dammit." ## Anna Kendrick in J. Mendel ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-488381433_10-1588784730.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Actress Anna Kendtrick attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) It's a gigantic white strapless bra. ## Alexa Chung in Nina Ricci ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-alexa_chung_met_ball_met_gala_488334011-1588784767.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Alexa Chung attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) Does this raise and lower, like fancy blinds ## Anne Hathaway in Calvin Klein ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-anne_hathaway_met_gala_met_ball_488342607-1588784777.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Anne Hathaway attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) This is very sleek and flattering, but it turns out I like my Anne FLAMBOYANT. ## Cara Delevingne in Stella ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-cara_delevingne_met_ball_met_gala_488373511-1588784786.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Cara Delevingne attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Rabbani and Solimene Photography/Getty Images) "Stella made this ten minutes ago out of old seatbelts!" ## Chrissy Teigen in Ralph Lauren ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-chrissy_teigen_488377217-1588784794.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Model Christine Teigen attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) This is hilarious. She looks like a socialite who is going to get real drunk in ten minutes and throw a vase at someone. ## Christy Turlington (in CK) and Ed Burns ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-christy_turlington_488384517-1588784802.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Christy Turlington and Edward Burns attend the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City.

(Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) "There was a spill. I don't want to talk about it." ## Jessica Alba in DVF ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-jessica_alba_met_ball_met_gala_488333925-1588784827.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Actress Jessica Alba attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) So unflattering; just sits there. ## Joy Bryant in Marchesa ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-joy_bryant_met_ball_met_gala_488376279-1588784851.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Actress Joy Bryant attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) Joy Bryant is the kind of person who can wear this Marchesa with the ease of someone who's strolling along beside the beach. ## Kiki in Rodarte ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-kirsten_dunst_rodarte_star_wars_Met_ball_met_gala_488378213-1588784859.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Actress Kirsten Dunst attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) The dress itself is not that appealing, but the DEATH STAR aspect is fantastic. I'm so pleased someone at least busted this out. (It sadly was not May the Fourth on that year.) ## Leighton Meester in Pucci ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-leighton_meester_488334509-1588784867.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Actress Leighton Meester attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) Those shoes are too daytime, yes? The top is a bit shlumpy, too, but it looks comfortable. So probably NOT on the Charles James theme. ## Lily Allen in Chanel ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-lily_allen_met_ball_met_gala_488334035-1588784875.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Lily Allen attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City.

(Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) Where had this dress been mouldering all these years? ## Olivia Munn in DVF ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-oliiva_munn_met_ball_met_gala_488348315-1588784906.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Olivia Munn attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) That's quite pretty. She looks like she's at a grand ball the night before our boys go off to war ## Rachel McAdams in Ralph Lauren ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-rachel_mcadams_met_ball_met_gala_488318277-1588784914.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Actress Rachel McAdams attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) Such a glorious head and SUCH A DULL DRESS. ## Reese in Stella ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-reese_witherspoon_met_gala_met_ball_488342705-1588784922.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Reese Witherspoon attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) Sure. It's well cut ## Rihanna in Stella ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-rihanna_met_ball_met_gala_stella_mccartney_488343559-1588784931.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Rihanna attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) This is better. ## Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Balmain ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-rosie_huntington_whiteley_met_ball_met_gala_488321757-1588784939.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) She loves Balmain, and this is definitely one of the spunkier ones. ## Shailene in Rodarte ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-shailene_woodley_rodarte_met_ball_met_gala_488343013-1588784947.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Actress Shailene Woodley attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) "Mama Shai prescribes two hours a day of sunning your labia, and a cup of my hallucinogenic tea." ## Chloe Sevigny in Kenzo ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-wenn21320542-1588784964.jpg) 'Charles James: Beyond Fashion' Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art - Outside Arrivals Featuring: Chloe Sevigny Where: New York City, New York, United States When: 05 May 2014 Credit: Rob Rich/WENN.com This does no one any favors, and seriously, FIX YOUR HAIR AFTER THE TREADMILL. ## Marion Cotillard in Dior ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-wenn21320832-1588784972.jpg) 'Charles James: Beyond Fashion' Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art - Outside Arrivals Featuring: Marion Cotillard Where: New York, New York, United States When: 06 May 2014 Credit: Andres Otero/WENN.com "Hello.

(Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) This is like fashion Jenga. Cut the strings and see how long the dress holds up before the most structurally useful one goes. ## Gisele in Balenciaga ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/2014-gisele_bundchen_met_ball_met_gala_488334203-1588784819.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 05: Gisele Bundchen attends the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2014 in New York City.
