Best and worst MET Gala looks

[StrawberryBlond 13,763]

What are your favourites and least favourites? I wasn't here at this time last year to commentate on the best and worst like I normally do, so I'm making up for lost time. Should've done this list last night but didn't have the time. Normally, I wouldn't make a list for men but as this was camp night, there was a great many more options to make men look fabulous.

My top ten are as follows...

Top 10 best dressed women

Honorable mentions: Kacey Musgraves, Hayley Steinfeld, Donatella Versace, Ashley Graham, Lily Collins, Dua Lipa, Halsey (all looked gorgeous and/or somewhat camp)
 

Spoiler

10.  Lena Dunham & Jemima Kirke

Not that the looks are actually doing anything for me but this is definitely camp by definition. But this is the one and only time Lena might appear on a Best Dressed list.

9. Lupita N'yongo

Love the fans and the intricacy of the eye make up. Not overly keen  on the dress but you can't deny she's gone all out.

8. Tracee Ellis Ross

Simple but effective camp and she wears it with so much joy.

7. Cardi B

Surprisingly not a lot of dresses like this which is usually standard Met fare, so Cardi really stood out and looks amazing, right down to the hand placements.

6. Cara Delevigne

Super wacky and nonsensical but that's what camp's all about. And at least there's some LGBT flag representation which was surprisingly lacking elsewhere.

5. Janelle Monae

One of the most textbook camp examples of the night and it was a great tocuh with the occasional blinking eye.

4. Katy Perry

Very well designed and unexpected for her to do something so extreme but she pulls it off.

3. Zendaya

Yeah, reminiscent of Clare Danes a few years back but with enough twists to make it its own thing and nice touch with the magician and his magic wand to accompany.

2. Gigi Hadid

This was just extravagant opulence and I love it. Those eyelashes must have been sore to blink in, so props to her for going all out.

1. Lady Gaga

As if there would be any hope of anyone else occupying the top spot. One of the very few who not only dressed camp but acted camp, she gets a YAS QUEEN from me.

 

Top 5 best dressed men

Honourable mentions: Harry Styles, Benedict Cumberbatch
 

Spoiler

5. Darren Criss

Simple camp for a male but much further than many went and I like the bow.

4. Jared Leto

Out there in a whole different way and I love it. Not much to say as it's so weird.

3. Billy Porter

An entrance and great posture make for the most theatrical man of the night.

2. Michael Urie

Love how the male and female side switched places at the shoes. Really traditionally camp, this is what comes to mind when I think of the word.

1. Ezra Miller

This makes my eyes go funny but when the look's this good, yes please. Camp personified.

 

Top 10 worst dressed women

Dishonourable mentions: Charli XCX, Nicki Minaj, Awkwafina, Penelope Cruz (none of them stayed on theme and just looked too boring)

Spoiler

10. Jennifer Lopez

Even when there's a theme, she still dresses the same way she always has. We've seen it!

9. Emily Ratajkowski

Just an attention-seeker wanting to show off her body and I don't know why she keeps getting invited to events. Next.

8. Hailey Baldwin

I guess looking simple but with a visible thong equals camp now? Would have looked hot at any other event but not for camp.

7. Miley Cyrus

For Miley, this was a major disappointment. Where's her Bangerz/Dead Petz looks? Normal for a camp theme is far too un-Miley for words.

6. Mindy Kaling

This is the wrong style for a fuller-figured woman and not camp into the bargain.

5. Karlie Kloss

I don't even know what to say about this. Is this a model's idea of what camp is?

4. Serena Williams

So many people like this but this colour burns my eyes above all else. I guess the mix of formal and casual is camp but something about it is just not doing it for me.

3. Chloe Grace Moretz

All these young things who don't know what camp is seem to just use this event is a promo opportunity and more should be done to crack down on it.

2. Kris Jenner

Was this camp but failing? Or Kris just being Kris? I just get the feeling she threw on whatever she had lying around.     

1. Mary-Kate & Ashley

They're still in the same boring outfits with the straggly hair, odd expressions and staring eyes about 15-20 years later. Why are they still being invited to fashion events?

 

 

 Top 5 worst dressed men

Dishonorable mention: Joe Jonas

Spoiler

 

5. Idris Elba

Just a normal male formal dress. But if you're going to wear an elaborate waistcoat, at least make it co-ordinate with your date's outfit!

4. Richard Madden

Tucking your trousers into your socks and adding a safety pin to your lapel makes you camp now. Got it. Did he just amend this outfit in the car on the way over?

3. Nick Jonas

He could have tried harder to work more with her dress and added more colourful touches. If you're going to co-ordinate, go all out.

2. Frank Ocean

Apparently he genuinely got mistaken for a security guard and I'm not surprised. Maybe he thought he was being ironically camp?

1. Kanye West

Pretty much the same as Frank but at least Frank bothered with a tie. He's worn camper looks in non-camp themed years. Ironic or not even trying? Hard to say when Kanye's been doing this for years.    

 

 

 What do you think? And who were your best and worst?

[ARTPOPSTER 4,241]

I loved Gaga, Katy and Janelle Monae. That winking eye killed me. 

I really wanted some guys to go all out camp, like Bowie or Prince, but like usual they always play it safe.

[weed 70,513]

your worst-dressed #1 is homophobic, the olsen twins are unable to do wrong, but I agree w basically the rest of your choices! 

[ImMatt 1,510]

Worse dressed has to be Alexander Skarsgard. The fact the guy smugly turned up in just a plain dull suit and thought that would be ok is pathetic. 

[edengowon 9,700]

My best...

Men: Cole Sprouse, Shawn Mendes, Ezra Miller, Billy Porter, Michael Urie, Jared Leto, Darren Criss

Women: Gaga, Celine Dion, Madeleine Petsch, The Jenner Sisters, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B

My worst...

Men: Kanye West and virtually every other man who attended

Women: Kim Kardashian, Bella Hadid

[Zander 14,847]

Best dressed man for me was Jordan Roth. 

 

 

[ImMatt 1,510]

I was a bit disappointed by these two. Liam couldn't be bothered and is this really the best Miley could do?? 

[ImMatt 1,510]

...but, on the quiet, I thought these two looked great. 

[elijahfan 24,554]

How Zendaya is making it on any top 10 list is a mystery to me, that dress was absolutely atrocious, and I wouldn't even want that as a Halloween costume. Not to mention that same effect was achieved beautifully on Claire Danes a few years ago. That was a rough night for Hilfiger generally speaking.

[Guest Adarsh]

Emily was paying homage to Cher. Her outfit was very much on theme and if you have a hot body, show it off 

[elijahfan 24,554]

My top, in no particular order and gender distinction, were Gaga, Harry Styles, Cardi B, Kim K, Dakota Johnson and Ezra Miller. I would probably include Jared Leto, tho the severed head gimmick wasn't new. Oh, and Vogue's Hamish Bowles was amazing as well.

[TimisaMonster 31,073]

It was very clear this hear who attempted to adhere to the theme and who just wanted to wear what they wanted and just showed up for the pics and dinner...

[raragaga 8,111]

kim should be in zendaya's place and zendaya should be on the worst dressed list

I loved the idea behind frank ocean's outfit!! I think it's super campy to subvert the genre and dress as a security guard/valet and walk the red carpet!
