Angela Bassett in Georges Hobeika

Everyone got a little costume-y for this event -- which is the intention -- and it's just pleasant to ease into the week like this. She looks gorgeous, of course.

Quinta Brunson

This HAD to have been fun to dance in.

Issa Rae

This too.

LL Cool J

I personally like to believe that LL has owned this outfit for ages and was ready to hit the ground running.

Lynn Whitfield

This outfit will look so perfect with a martini glass!

Chloe Bailey, Halle Bailey in Georges Hobeika

These are much less costume-y -- Chloe's nod to theme is definitely mostly accessories. She looks fairly adorable. I wish Halle's keyhole were smaller; it feels a little overwhelming on her.

Melina Matsoukas

She's often notably eccentric in her dress and this does seem to qualify, but I also think she (and definitely only she) is carrying it off.

Cindy Bruna

She looks VERY glam in this, even dressed a bit like an actual swan.

Lori Harvey

This is also great.

Michelle Williams

This is certainly the most low-key look at this event and I wish she had gone for it more intensely. BUT! Having said that, and in a vacuum, this is so good on her.

Kelly Rowland in Monsoori

This is GLAM.

Magic Johnson, Cookie Johnson

This party just looks very fun. Everyone loves a theme! That's why we all enjoy the Met Gala!

Vivica A. Fox

I love her and I also have some notes about the beading placements here.

Andra Day in Georges Hobeika

Andra could definitely pop on a witch's hat and this could do double duty next weekend as a VERY GLAM witch.

Jurnee Smollett

This is so good! Her big hat also provides a very clean backdrop for her face in photos -- good thinking.

Courtney B Vance

As dapper as ever.

Boris Kodjoe

LIKEWISE.

The Wearable Art Gala Always Provides a Fun Red Carpet

This year was no exception.
