Fan Bingbing in Christopher Bu
I MEAN SERIOUSLY!!! She won Best Dressed in our poll this year (just inching out Rihanna), and I think that was very well deserved. This is so stunning.
Fan Bingbing
This might be one of my favorite Met Gala looks of all time.
Rihanna in Guo Pei
This, too.
Lady Gaga in Alexander Wang
I have a lot of concerns about her head choices, but this robe is beautifully done.
Kimye
I will say that I think the beading work on this IS objectively stunning. Kanye looks doubtful.
Karolina Kurkova
This feels very on the nose. (I do love those shoes in general, however.)
Donatella and J.Lo
I kinda want to see Jennifer in Donatella's dress.
Zendaya
I THINK this was her first Met Gala, and she looks so good in this!
Beyonce
I truly do not know what this has to do with China? Wouldn't it be neat if Beyonce showed up at the next major event in like...something INCREDIBLY severe and plain -- just as sort of a surprise to everyone. (She certainly has the face to carry it off!)
Janelle Monae
I decided that everything with a cape fit into this category. She could honestly wear this again now, easy.
Katy Perry
At the time, I theorized that Katy had something very cartoonishly Chinese ready to go, and then thought better of it. I'm not sure if I get this. It's Jeremy Scott, and it got him sued for copyright infringement. (He settled out of court.)
Solange
This remains VERY cool.
Kerry Washington
This isn't really on theme -- that I recall? -- but it is literally big. (The inside, by the way, was lined in grey, which is very clever.) I am worried it's too much skirt.
Kelli O'Hara and Ken Watanabe
Kelli looks pretty, and Ken is swoony as ever.
Allison Williams
At the time, Heather said that she looked like she was floating in on a cloud of Satanic dry ice, and now that's all I can see.
Anne Hathaway
But this was GOOOOOOOD.
Bee Shaffer
So was this.
Emily Blunt
Listen, I do ove a cape AND chinoiserie.
Linda Evangelista
This is a most aggressive bow.
Jessica Hart
Her head doesn't quite seem finished -- a LOT of women went for the topknot this evening -- but this dress is undeniably very cool.
Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz
This feels potentially a bit musty on Lisa. (Lenny of course is deeply foine, as usual.)
Poppy Delevingne
Poppies, ON a Poppy. You sort of have to give her that.
Karen Elson
In retrospect, she had to be wondering if she needed to have saved this for the Catholic Imagination year!
