This feels INCREDIBLY Barbra Streisand and that is absolutely 100% on brand for her. It's also fun, though.

Naomi Campbell in Chanel 2010 couture

I mean....this is excellent. It's Naomi. She wasn't going to whiff this one.

Mindy Kaling in Jonathan Simkhai

And this might honestly be one of the best things she has ever worn. I wish she'd worn this to the Oscars...except I actually think the Met Gala is a bigger deal than the Oscars for celebs these days, arguably, so......

Christina Ricci in Fendi

This looked meh on flat ground, but pretty great on the stairs, and the Met IS about your Moment on the Stairs, so....carry on, Christina.

Kendall Jenner in Marc Jacobs

This is objectively ridiculous. But also kind of...fun? Don't kill me! I like the sleeves! It's good that Marc Jacobs is back, after his complete absence the last two years! I think we'd like it on Lady Gaga! Leave me alone!

Anok Yai in Prabal Gurung

This is apparently based on something Cindy Crawford modeled in the 90s and it's a pretty amazing piece of artwork. You can see the beading here better than in this shot.

Kerry Washington in Michael Kors

Yes, but she could not walk in this at all, which seems like...a pretty big downside.

Daisy Edgar-Jones in Gucci

This is objectively cute, but she is never that sartorially memorable to me. Perhaps by design!

Sydney Sweeney in Miu Miu

Oooooh I just wanna scuttle over to her like the hoary rock crab that I am, and slice off that bow and everything below it.

Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshawe, both in Alexander McQueen

Hello to Eddie's big fan who always comments here to yell at me if I'm mean to him! I actually think he looks nice here!

Cai Xukun

This is VERY appealing and I hope he gets to keep that coat.

Quinta Brunson in Prabal Gurung

This looked better on TV than it does in this photo -- the fit seems a little snug around the chest? -- but this fun, glitzy '60s feel is a good match with her vibe.

Stephanie Hsu

She looks TREMENDOUS in this.

Maude Apatow in Chloe

Sure! I can't get that mad at this. I mean, it's an arrow at her crotch but maybe the Met is sassy like that! I've never been. (And definitely never will be invited.)

Letitia Wright

This feels a little TOO low key.

Madelyn Cline in Stella McCartney

This is....great????? Stella, good work! I'm so proud of you.

Vanessa Kirby

Literally EVERY photo I saw of her on both our photo services is like this. I have still not seen the front of this dress? IS IT WEIRD?

Marion Cotillard in 2007 Chanel

This is the same dress she wore to the 2007 BAFTAs! That is a delightful fun fact.
