The Met Gala always proves to be one of the biggest fashion events of the year, without fail. This year was no different, as the China: Looking through the Glass theme nearly broke the Internet. These women, though, were without a doubt the style stars of the event. They stole the show with their amazing style!
1 Beyoncé
I don’t know if I’ll ever get over this entire look from Beyoncé. From the dramatic high ponytail, to her fierce pose, and especially the dress, this is a picture that I’m sure we’ll remember for years to come!
Frequently asked questions
2 Selena Gomez
I know that the theme for this year’s Met Gala was “China: Looking through the Glass” but Selena Gomez’s outfit is giving me serious flashbacks to the original Selena, and I love it. The ivory looks gorgeous on her, and the little bra peeking through is such a chic touch!
3 Kim Kardashian
Not only did this dress look great on Kim, but also I think that, if anything, we need to commend her for getting that train up the stairs. Walking up stairs in a floor-length dress is always challenging, but it’s a whole other story when your dress is essentially made of feathers! She very well could’ve been the next Jennifer Lawrence tripping meme!
4 Janelle Monae
This entire look is such a departure from Janelle Monae’s typical menswear red carpet looks. Although the matching set is stunning, what really catches your eye is the dramatic floor-length cape. I also love how the China theme is quietly referenced in the little details of her look!
5 Zendaya
I think I speak for almost everyone when I say that I could talk about Zendaya’s Met Gala look for hours on end. There are so many things to love about it—from her hair, to her accessories, and then the dramatic high-low hem of her dress. I’d argue that she had one of the more intricate looks of the night, which is why I love it so much!
6 Lady Gaga
It’s not every day that Lady Gaga makes a best-dressed list, but if there is any event that she should, it’s an event with a theme like the Met Gala. I know that she’s gotten some flack for her outfit (kimonos are Japanese, not Chinese!) but you have to remember, Lady Gaga is essentially a character, especially when it comes to her outfits, and I think we’d all be more shocked if she didn’t wear something that wasn’t extremely outlandish and a little offensive. If you can pull your eyes away from the kimono, though, I think we can all agree that the dress underneath it is absolutely stunning!
7 Vanessa Hudgens
Leave it to Vanessa Hudgens to absolutely rock a tea-length dress at an event where ball gowns are almost a requirement. She knows how to keep her style fun, even at one of the biggest fashion events of the year!
8 Rihanna
Although I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that the yellow shade of the dress is not my favorite, how can Rihanna not make every single best-dressed list for her insane and dramatic train? Don’t we all wish we could rock something like that?
9 Anne Hathaway
I might’ve been the only person who was absolutely obsessed with Anne Hathaway’s hood, but why? I think it’s so fun and chic! I will never forget a few years ago when Sienna Miller wore a matching set on a red carpet and everyone (myself included) thought it was so ugly. Now, they’re everywhere! I could see Anne Hathaway’s hooded dress taking on a similar life! She made something we associate with comfort so stylish and chic, so I’m really hoping it catches on!
10 Uma Thurman
Uma Thurman doesn’t often make best-dressed lists, but if there is any outfit that should get her on a best-dressed list, this is it. Not only is the dress extremely flattering on her, but also the overall design of the dress is absolutely stunning!
