(Not only because she literally could not walk in it.) ## Kristen Stewart ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113504658-Kristen-Stewart-Met-Ball-640x962-1588716881.jpg) At the time, I said this dress would make an amazing staircase runner in my Hollywood Regency mansion and I do stand by this. ## Lucy Liu ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113496837-640x930-1588716806.jpg) I've been alerted -- by the me of the 2011, who really needs to be ringing a lot of other bells -- that this is actually possibly PANTS. ## Solange ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113506079-640x961-1588716902.jpg) This is SO goodl ## Stella McCartney ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113492579-640x961-1588716785.jpg) This is AWFUL. ## Rihanna in Stella McCartney ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/rihanna_113513876-compressed-1588717500.jpg) [As I noted yesterday](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/rihanna-would-probably-have-won-the-met-gala-again-last-night-05-2020/), this is also awful. Bad night for Stella. ## Naomi Campbell ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/naomicampbell_113511982-compressed-1588717469.jpg) This is actually McQueen. It's a LOT to carry off, but with the benefit of time, I'm kind of into how a LOT it is. ## Emma Stone in Lanvin ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113504382-640x935-1588716851.jpg) This is SO good. ## Maggie Q ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/maggieq_113509311-compressed-1588717431.jpg) This color is snoozy, but she looks great in this. (And there's Carolina Herrera behind her. You know you're recognizable when people can tell who you are from the back of your head.) ## J Lo and Marc Anthony ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/jenniferlopez_113500613-compressed-1588717322.jpg) We thought this was a little goofy at the time, but it's aged really well on her -- the color is amazing. ## Amy Poehler ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113504226-640x890-1588716838.jpg) This was a highlight for her. In retrospect, the necklace -- which is amazing -- sort of fights the neckline, but overall, this is grand. ## Diane and Pacey ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113497798-Diane-Kruger-Pacey-Met-Ball-640x891-1588716827.jpg) Diane's head looks SO good here. ## Leighton Meester ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113504399-640x909-1588716861.jpg) She looks like Louis Vuitton paid her to wear this. (I also assumed it was Herve Leger, which isn't great for LV -- although Leger was HOT in 2011.) ## Ashley Olsen ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113506392-Ashley-Olsen-640x907-1588716912.jpg) Be patient, and Ashley will bring your mead right out! ## Mary-Kate Olsen ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113507010-Mary-Kate-Olsen-640x962-1588716934.jpg) This is pretty fantastic, though. ## Salma Hayek ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/salmahayek113504483-compressed-1588717510.jpg) Hard to argue with this...whole situation. ## Michelle Williams ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113505778-640x948-1588716891.jpg) Am I crazy or does she look just like Dame Judi Dench here? ## Nicole Richie ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113504513-640x938-1588716872.jpg) VERY well done. ## Zoe Saldana in Calvin Klein ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113508205-Zoe-Saldana-Met-Ball-640x937-1588716954.jpg) This is FANTASTIC. ## A Dubs and ALT ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113495246-640x923-1588716795.jpg) ALT's sideeye speaks for us all. ## Ashley Greene ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113497200-640x962-1588716818.jpg) This is beautiful. What happened to her? (I mean, I am sure she's still beautiful; I more meant, where did she GO?) ## Iman ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113506411-compressed-1588716923.jpg) I MEAN TRULY. ## Rosie Huntington-Whiteley ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113509450-640x894-1588716992.jpg) I promise you even she does not remember this dress. ## Christina Hendricks ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113507683-Christina-Hendricks-Met-Ball-2011-640x907-1588716943.jpg) I didn't like this at the time -- it felt too much like wood paneling to me? -- but in retrospect, I think I was too harsh. ## Keri Hilson ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113508565-640x953-1588716963.jpg) Even 9 years later, the ruffle placement here is perplexing. ## Liv Tyler ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113508693-640x916-1588716972.jpg) I also didn't love this until I saw the back, but I kinda retract all my complaints. If someone wore this now, I would love it. (I also suspect it was better in person.) ## Liv Tyler ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113538750-640x910-1588717100.jpg) The back IS great. ## Ginnifer Goodwin ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113508731-640x889-1588716982.jpg) THAT NECKLACE!!! (And the shoes!) ## Kerry Washington ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113509857-640x950-1588717002.jpg) This color is so good on her, but the dress is sort of unmemorable. Like, great for a normal party, but maybe a LEETLE boring for the Met? ## Rosario Dawson ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113510110-640x961-1588717011.jpg) DISHY. ## Isabel Lucas ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113510202-640x961-1588717021.jpg) Remember Isabel Lucas?! ## Chloe Sevigny and Freida Pinto ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113510426-640x962-1588717031.jpg) This photo NEVER fails to make me laigh. ## Fergie ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113510600-640x950-1588717041.jpg) I'm literally reprinting what I wrote about this at the time: You know how everyone has that one cousin who got married in the mid 80s, and all your relatives are all, “Oh, DENISE. Denise’s wedding was FANTASTIC. Denise had the BEST taste. She was SO up-to-date! I was always so JEALOUS of how TRENDY she was!” And then when you finally got over to Cousin Denise’s house and you finally saw her wedding pictures, and OMG HER HAIR WAS HUGELY FLAMMABLE and she was wearing A CROWN OF LACE and her dress’s lace choker ATTACHED TO HER SLEEVES and you were like, “Mom, she looks so…. 80s,” and then your mom was all, “huh? Oh, everybody looked like that back then” and then you are just boggled as a person. MEET COUSIN DENISE. ## Jessica Szhor ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113511153-640x949-1588717050.jpg) This has a weirdly Bai Ling vibe? ## Ciara ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113512788-640x931-1588717060.jpg) This is pretty, but I am confused by her Arm Accessories? ## Hayley Atwell ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113514430-640x961-1588717069.jpg) That's leather on the sides of this dress, not sheer mesh. ## Julianna Marguiles and Narciso Rodriguez ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113533009-640x905-1588717079.jpg) I GET this, but I feel like it washes her out a little bit? ## Taylor Swift ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/113536164-Taylor-Swift-640x998-1588717089.jpg) This may be divisive, but I think this has aged really very well. ## Alexa Chung ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/alexachung_113509562-640x961-1588717109.jpg) YES, it looks like she's wearing Dolphin shorts under that. (The black and white dress behind Alexa is AMAZING though.) ## Alicia Keys ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/aliciakeys113506627-640x961-1588717119.jpg) Fun fact: That jacket was actually a tail coat. ## Amy Adams ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/amyadams_113539871-640x868-1588717128.jpg) This is pretty fab. ## Angela Lindvall and Karlie Kloss ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/angelalindvall_karliekloss_113509083-compressed-1588717139.jpg) BOTH of them look great. ## Bar Rafaeli ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/barrefaeli113509963-compressed-1588717149.jpg) This is fabulously accessorized. ## Blake Lively and Karl Lagerfeld ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/blakelively_karllagerfeld_wenn3321455-640x931-1588717168.jpg) Honestly, this could be a cardboard cut-out of Karl, for all we know. ## Brooklyn Decker ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/brooklyndecker_113505111-compressed-1588717177.jpg) On theme? Not really. But she does look super in it. ## Carolyn Murphy ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/carolynmurphy-113506977-compressed-1588717187.jpg) I assume Carolyn is wearing Tom Ford, as she's standing next to Tom Ford, and I don't think you risk people thinking you made this unless you did. ## Christina Ricci ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/christinaricci_113505109-640x952-1588717197.jpg) This is very over the top but also, in retrospect, sort of fantastically so? ## Crystel Renn ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/crystalrenn_113509367-compressed-1588717218.jpg) Ditto. ## Claire Danes ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/clairedanes_113512101-compressed-1588717209.jpg) Arguably boring but also she looks SUPERB. ## Dakota Fanning ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/dakotafanning_113512960-compressed-1588717228.jpg) I wish this were a different color. ## Demi Moore ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/demimoore_113526722-compressed-1588717239.jpg) Demi Moore walked so that Moira Rose could FLY. Also, yes, that's a fascinator. ## Serena Williams ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/serenawilliams_113511013-compressed-1588717541.jpg) ALSO a fascinator. I feel like we just learned that both Demi and Serena watched Kate and Wills get married with great interest. ## Doutzen Krous ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/doutzenkrous113497639-compressed-1588717250.jpg) Beautiful, but potentially needs jewelry. ## Elizabeth Banks ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/elizabethbanks_113503748-compressed-1588717260.jpg) This was a very GOLDEN Met Gala. ## Eva Mendes ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/evamendes_113506099-compressed-1588717270.jpg) I enjoy this sleeve. ## Kirsten Dunst and Gisele Bundchen ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/giselebundchen_wenn3321230-compressed-1588717281.jpg) Gisele looks so doubtful of Kiki here. ## Gwyneth Paltrow ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/gwynethpaltrow113511529-compressed-1588717292.jpg) Peak GOOP. ## Hailee Steinfeld ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/haileesteinfeld_113581480-compressed-1588717302.jpg) I ABSOLUTELY forgot this and it's kind of good. ## Hilary Rhoda ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/hilaryrhoda_113509846-compressed-1588717311.jpg) I get where she was going with this. Did it get there? (That clutch is iconic, though. I bought Heather a knock-off of it on Etsy around this time.) ## Jessica Alba ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/jessicaalba_113507879-compressed-1588717332.jpg) Welcome to the Jessica portion of this slideshow. We're going alphabetically, starting with Alba... ## Jessica Chastain ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/jessicachastain_113517979-compressed-1588717342.jpg) ....moving to Chastain, who looks like a sexy governess... ## Jessica Stam ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/jessicastam_113517436-compressed-1588717352.jpg) ...and closing with Stam. ## Joan Smalls ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/jourdandunn_113509140-compressed-1588717362.jpg) We liked this a lot at the time, but now I might be neutral? ## Karen Elson ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/karenelson_113509498-compressed-1588717372.jpg) This is dreamy. ## Kate Hudson ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/katehudson_113507714-640x904-1588717382.jpg) I hope she and Jessica Alba posed for pics together. ## Kristen Bell ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/kristenbell113497041-compressed-1588717392.jpg) Was McQueen notably a fan of lamé? (I AM, personally.) ## Karolina Kurkova ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/kurkovakarolina113509864-compressed-1588717401.jpg) This is definitely OTT, but very on target for the event in question. ## Madonna ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/madonna_wenn5647198-640x960-1588717411.jpg) YES, Madonna looks fantastic. ## Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/maggiegyllenhaal_113501296-640x857-1588717421.jpg) So does Maggie G, in Stella (who at least didn't bungle this one). I wonder if this was a very PRETTY Met Gala, if not a very MEMORABLE one. ## Mia Wasikowska ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/miawasikowska_113508089-compressed-1588717441.jpg) This is also really good. Whatever happened to her? ## Michelle Monaghan ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/michellemonaghan_113513169-640x907-1588717451.jpg) This is fun on her. ## Miranda Kerr ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/mirandakerr_113503580-compressed-1588717460.jpg) Those shoes are very McQueen. (The Met sold a small version of similar ones in their store during this exhibit and a friend brought me one! I still have it!) ## Naomi Watts ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/naomiwatts_113508219-compressed-1588717480.jpg) She's done this better other times. ## Rashida Jones ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/rashidajones_113508117-640x911-1588717490.jpg) SHE TOO has done better. ## Saoirse Ronan ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/saoirseronan_113513320-compressed-1588717520.jpg) Saoirse is only 17 here. This is VERY cool. ## SJP ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/sarahjessicaparker113508553-compressed-1588717531.jpg) Given how great she looked the year she came WITH McQueen, I sort of expected this to be bigger? ## Shalom Harlow ![2011 Met Gala red carpet pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shalomharlow_113505902-compressed-1588717552.jpg) Maybe not quite THIS big. ["Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty" Was the Theme of the 2011 Met GalaHow many of these do you remember?![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2020/05/met-gala-red-carpet-2011-1588726431.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/alexander-mcqueen-savage-beauty-was-the-theme-of-the-2011-met-gala-05-2020/)
