From feathers to phalluses, headpieces to horrible handbags, there was a lot to take in at last night's Met Gala. Scroll through to see some of the best and worst red carpet looks from fashion's big ball.


Beyonce

"Met Gala Barbie just ran you over doing 150 miles in a Swarovski-covered Aventador." -- Elizabeth

"This is crazy but looks amazing but I also don't love the hair and it makes Beyoncé look like a showgirl? I'm confused." -- Abby


Rihanna

"This is peak "who me" red carpet spotlight stealing. This is beyond spotlight stealing. This is taking the spotlight, putting a giant blunt-shaped stake in it, and ruling her territory for years to come. This year's theme was a recipe for cultural appropriation disaster that some fell prey to (giving a hard stare to everyone who wore chopsticks in their hair last night (ahem, ahem, Emma Roberts, ahem). Rihanna was one of the few celebrities to actually wear something by a Chinese designer, Guo Pei, who, no less, has two pieces in the Met's exhibition. She looked incredible. She looked magnificent. She looked Bad Gal." -- Elizabeth

"Yes, it stole the spotlight but I just thought the dress was hideous. Sorry/not sorry." -- Abby


Anna Wintour

"I love Khaleesi in a statement sleeve."-- Elizabeth

"Anna looks like Paper Source gift wrap, which means I love it." -- Abby


Diane Kruger

"When I first saw this look I thought it was too 'meh' but on second viewing, I love it. When everyone else was trying to outdo each other with their "I'm basically just naked" gowns, Kruger was rocking motherf*cking sheer Chanel pants. Respect." -- Elizabeth

"Agreed. There were a handful of others who tried -- and failed -- to rock the black tie pants game but Diane really nailed it. I would've nixed the sash, though, otherwise she looks great." -- Abby


Poppy Delevingne

"'My name is Poppy, so my dress has poppies. Plus, poppies represent a painful part of China's history and European domination, so it's perfect." -- Elizabeth

"Touché, Biz. But I actually really like this dress despite the unfortunate socio-cultural connotations. She looks like a flamenco dancer." -- Abby


Sarah Jessica Parker

"If the Met Ball happens and Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't wear an insane headpiece, did the Met Ball really happen?" -- Elizabeth

"I'm not vibing with the one long sleeve but thankfully I can barely notice it before the headpiece gives me vertigo." -- Abby


Wendi Deng Murdoch

"I could have done without the cut-outs, but she looks great." -- Elizabeth

"The color is fantastic -- I like they she didn't just wear red or gold like everyone else. I'm also not a fan of the cut-outs...it cheapens the look." -- Abby


Grace Coddington

"Best-dressed of the night, after Rihanna. When in doubt, just be Grace Coddington, dropping all the spare fucks you have to give in the wake of your satin slippers." --Elizabeth

"She looks so comfy!" -- Abby


Emily Ratajkowski

"This is fine." --Elizabeth

"The embroidery is lovely and I like that we're seeing a demure look from Emily but I wish the dress were either floor-length or a tad shorter. I've never been a fan of tea-length looks." -- Abby


Katie Holmes

"Katie Holmes used a burner phone to file for divorce from Tom Cruise." -- Elizabeth

"Katie's dress is gorgeous but the overall effect of the gown, the tan, the bob and the big diamond bracelet is kind of 'Scarsdale socialite.' For some reason I feel like this outfit ages her." -- Abby


Lizzy Caplan

"This doesn't do much for me. I like the embroidered detailing on the side but the draped beads and feather shoulder thing just made it veer off into "oh, well..." town. --Elizabeth

"I disagree. I loved this Donna Karan atelier dress, feathers and all. It's an interesting choice, color-wise, but it works. And she looks a bit like she could be a long-lost Kirke sister, no?" -- Abby


Jennifer Lawrence

"One of the biggest red carpet décolletage crimes of the century. I think the three very different fabrics seem garbled and the fact that it looks like a weird bathing suit does not help. The floral print is really lovely and is incorporated down the back of the dress, which you can't see in this photo, but the sparkly cut-out is just a big no to me. What happened?" --Elizabeth

"There's a lot of 'hell no' going on, from the messy bun to the magenta lips to the confusing décolletage situation you point out, Biz...the back was much better though. I also just don't like how loose the top is, it just looks ill-fitting." -- Abby


Alicia Keys

"I think Gaultier was the wrong match for her. The skirt and the jacket just eat her up." -- Elizabeth

"Yeah, I think I would like this more without the jacket." -- Abby


Janelle Monae

"Cape game strong. This was one of my favorite looks of the night." -- Elizabeth

"I'm conflicted because I always love a cape moment from Janelle and I like that the top has a subtle nod to Chinese culture and fashion without veering into cringe-y appropriation territory but there's something about the material and the length of the skirt that makes it all look too casual. Love the hair, though." -- Abby


Jennifer Lopez

"Yes, a dragon because dragons are an important part of Chinese culture." -- Elizabeth

"J. Lo's face is exactly what I think of this dress." -- Abby


Kimye

"She looks like a sex snowflake. I loved this." --Elizabeth

"This is the apex of Kimye style. He: deep-V and velour (velvet?). Her: form-fitting, sparkly and sheer. It's great and all we could've asked for from these two Paper cover stars." -- Abby


Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz

"These twooooooooo. Bonet came hard with the conceptual fug and Kravitz looks chill and boring. Best-dressed ex-couple of the night." -- Elizabeth

"[Said in a Stefon voice]: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes." -- Abby


Selena Gomez

"I think this is fine." -- Elizabeth

"From this angle, Selena's floral headpiece reads Little Miss Muffet bonnet but I'm okay with that." -- Abby


Solange

"She looks like intergalactic origami. I love it" --Elizabeth

"Whoaaaa. You could get high just from staring at Solange too long. In other news, this was one of my favorite looks of the night. It's so over-the-top but also so perfect for fashion's big night. Her dress looked like a gorgeous oil slick." -- Abby


Karen Elson

"Bow down." -- Elizabeth

"I know that the show's theme is China but Karen's dress reads very King and I. It's like what would happen if the king didn't die in the play and Anna became his newest wife instead." -- Abby


Jessica Chastain

"This is a snooze and a half but the dress is beautiful and her hair looks like a dream." -- Elizabeth

"This is very 'Oscars season,' which is to say, 'boring.'" -- Abby


Kris Jenner

"Very Calabasas Mao." -- Elizabeth

"She reminds me of a tassel." -- Abby


Kerry Washington

"The color is beautiful but there's just too much fabric happening and the skirt length is weird. Maybe if it had been shorter, it would have worked better?" --Elizabeth

"Agreed. I'm also not crazy about the bows on the shoulders. It looks like a bridesmaid's dress somebody decided to make fancier by draping a big swoosh of fabric along the skirt." -- Abby


Chloe Sevigny

"I thought she looked theme-appropriate without being totally, completely over-the-top. -- Elizabeth

"I will never be a fan of those loose-fitting, off-the-shoulder sleeves. I remember Shailene Woodley wore something similar last year. It just looks like they haven't finished getting dressed yet." -- Abby


Madonna

"This was a big no for me. The dress is tailored weirdly, and the graffiti writing on it makes me think of the word "edgy." Still, this is some of the best red-carpet sex hair she's ever given." -- Elizabeth

"Bow down to Madonna's fingerless gloves, people." -- Abby


Katy Perry

"See above." --Elizabeth

"I don't love the ruffles along the bust and above the mermaid skirt but I'm dying over Katy's hair. Praying it's real and not a wig (it's probably a wig)." -- Abby


Rita Ora

"Rita Ora usually blows it hard on the red carpet, but I loved this on her. That collar is superb." -- Elizabeth

"The color, the collar, and the fur trim all remind me of, like, a 'sexy devil glamor queen' Halloween costume but it works." -- Abby


Lady Gaga

"She committed in the only way she knows how to, so this is what we got. Let's just move on." -- Elizabeth

"Gaga's feathery, Balenciaga look is a vision." -- Abby


Zendaya

"I really loved this. It's fun and what an 18-year-old should wear to the Met Gala." -- Elizabeth

"I'm still trying to figure out how Zendaya was able to sit down at all last night but that's not for me to worry about. The dress looked beautiful and I agree that it was a nice, age-appropriate choice." -- Abby


FKA Twigs

"Twigs will see your Chinese-themed Met Gala and raise you a dress with a dick on it." -- Elizabeth

"I don't care what anyone says: there was no after-party better than the after-party orgy happening on Twigs' dress." -- Abby


Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

"The best. When was the last time anyone heard the Olsen twins speak?" -- Elizabeth

"I love that they always dress like glamorous 80-year-olds. I'm less into the messy hair though." -- Abby


Dakota Johnson

"I would have liked for the dress to be floor-length or a different dress all together. And that purse has got to go." --Elizabeth

"Too casual. That is all." -- Abby


Cher

"I am so on board with all of this, down to the ankle tattoo showing through the fish-nets. I love celebrities with ankle tattoos because it usually signifies that they like beach days, cocktails on the patio and Fleetwood Mac. Fun people." --Elizabeth

"Cher looks so great even she's licking her lips." -- Abby


Amal Clooney

"I like that this looks like fruit roll-up armor. Do you even tier?" -- Elizabeth

"#SWISH." -- Abby


Lorde

"Nice and fine!" --Elizabeth

"Beautiful and very 'Mayim Bialik-chic.'" -- Abby


Miley Cyrus

"An alien empress from planet IDGAF." -- Elizabeth

"Very 'Back to the '80s Future.'" -- Abby


Cara Delevingne

"Sad trombone. The jumpsuit looks badly tailored and I would have preferred to have just seen a bunch of prison tattoos made with pens and compact disc shards."--Elizabeth

"Yeah...not my favorite look of the night. I think the tattoos could've looked more interesting under a dress and the jumpsuit looks like a variation on what we saw Cara wear last year. Next." -- Abby


Justin Bieber

"When sunglasses are part of your indoor, evening red-carpet look, something has gone wrong." --Elizabeth

"Justin wants to be the fourth member of Migos." -- Abby


Grimes

"Grimes looks like every girl who you were a little bit scared of but wanted to be friends with in your sophomore year photo class and hoped she wanted to be your friend too. Which is to say she looks perfect." -- Elizabeth

"I think the boots and the cocktail length makes the outfit seem too casual but Grimes gets bonus points for the mouse ears hair 'do." -- Abby


Kendall Jenner

"Jade excellence. I thought she looked awesome." --Elizabeth

"Lovely." -- Abby
