2019 Met Gala: The Best and Worst Dressed Stars
01/23/2020 03:15 pm EST
BEST: Jennifer Lopez
Lopez doesn't just put some effort into this first-class camp effort; she puts some leg into it.
WORST: Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen
The fashion-maven sisters bring down the house -- in a bummer kind of way -- in gowns fit for a black-tie funeral.
CAMPIEST: Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas
The fun couple has fun with the night's theme -- and we applaud them for it.
BEST: Cardi B
The rapper has every right to look proud: This. Is. Stunning.
WORST: Kris Jenner
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians mogul, with boyfriend Corey Gamble, looks confident, but in the need of a steam iron.
CAMPIEST: Lady Gaga
From the giant Saved by the Bell-esque cell phone to the uber-sunglasses, Gaga nails the part about camp being big -- really big.
CRAZIEST: Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner
Who say the Avengers are over? Check out these superheroes.
BEST: Kacey Musgraves
The country singer-songwriter epitomizes Barbie-inspired camp, and we are here for it.
CRAZIEST: Kim Kardashian West
Unfortunately, bronze-iest isn't one of our categories, so craziest will have to do for the reality star, who appears to have stunned even husband Kanye West.
BEST: Lady Gaga
The Oscar-winner and Grammy-winner wins the Met Gala night with her first look: a billowy vision in pink -- and camp.
WORST: Gwen Stefani
The singer looks great -- no doubt. The thing is, she doesn't look campy.
BEST: Kendall Jenner
You ever see Cher in Vegas in the 1970s? Now you have. Given the night's theme, this is perfect.
WORST: Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen
The Super Bowl-winning quarterback and the supermodel look beautiful, but boring -- and definitely not camp.
BEST: Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union
We don't know what these A-list marrieds are wearing, but they look adorable wearing it. Love it.
WORST: Emily Ratajkowski
The model's gown is lovely, and the butterfly headdress is kinda crazy, but only kinda. In the end, Ratajkowski's look is just too elegant to be campy -- and Met Gala memorable.
CAMPIEST: Kylie Jenner
The reality star's look is almost too safe, but the purple pom-poms literally put it in the right camp.
CRAZIEST: Jared Leto
The Oscar-winner, always a Met Gala star, stuns in Sgt. Pepper meets The Apple (it's way camp -- look it up) meets a fake head.
BEST: Celine Dion
Somebody got the memo, and read the memo: Tonight is about being BIG.
WORST: Lady Gaga
You can't win them all, and Gaga doesn't win our plaudits in this gown that, we must point out, would be totally appropriate for a Mary Poppins cosplayer.
CAMPIEST: Lily Collins
The actress is throwing it back to Valley of the Dolls -- and we like it.
CRAZIEST: Lady Gaga
Gaga's last outfit was the, well, craziest of all.
CAMPIEST: Ciara
The singer does her best Cher -- and we mean the best Cher, circa 1974.
BEST: Billy Porter
The Pose star strikes a regal, winning pose.
WORST: Constance Wu
The Crazy Rich Asians and Fresh Off the Boat star is camping it up more than her gown.
BEST: Hailey Bieber
Not all camp is over-the-top or even boundary-pushing. Exhibit A: Hailey Bieber, who channels a vibe straight out of a swingin' 1960s Peter Sellers flick.
CRAZIEST: Katy Perry
The American Idol judge usually shines at the Met Gala. This year, she literally shines.
BEST: Serena Williams
The tennis great comes ready to play in Nikes -- and bold attitude.
BEST: Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart
The couple from Riverdale is not only out there, but bold enough not to go all matchy-matchy. We're impressed.
WORST: Miley Cyrus
We love the pop singer; we're not fond of this number, which is neither here, nor there -- and nowhere near camp.
CRAZIEST: Liza Koshy
The YouTube star brings her own tugboat … or something.
WORST: Demi Moore
Do you know what camp is? Good. Then next time you see Ms. Moore, please tell her -- because, nifty dress pockets or no, this isn't it.
WORST: Ava DuVernay
We appreciate the elegant cut, but the filmmaker should've yelled "Cut!" on this green-screen-as-gown look.
CRAZIEST: Benedict Cumberbatch
Those of us old enough to remember Boss Hogg will appreciate every inch of this daring and confident look.
BEST: Janelle Monae
The ayes have it -- or, should we say, the eye has it: The outfit is mad, in the best way.
WORST: Regina King
This Oscar-winner's gown would have been amazing ... on any other red carpet.
CRAZIEST: Madelaine Petsch
We almost put this Riverdale star in "best," but this red carpet has a lot of competition.
BEST: Laverne Cox
The Orange Is the New Black star is a showstopper.
BEST: Tiffany Haddish
Two words: Love. It.
BEST: Elle Fanning
Whelp, love or it hate it, it's high fashion, it's camp, and it's bold. Bravo.
WORST: Emma Stone
As a matter of principle, we have no quarrel with disco-glitter jumpsuits. But this Oscar-winner's getup isn't over-the-top enough to be camp, and it's not different enough to be crazy.
CAMPIEST: Harry Styles
One earring? A shirt lifted from a pirate lingerie outlet? If that isn't camp, we don't know what is.
BEST: Emily Blunt
For a proper British actress, we're pretty sure this is high camp. Also, it's just a great look.
WORST: Travis Scott
Sorry, Mr. Scott, camp does not mean Halloween costumes. Dress up like a Star Wars character on another day.
CAMPIEST: Lupita Nyong'o
We have only one thing to say about the Oscar-winner's look: Yes!
BEST: Idris Elba
The actor, with new wife Sabrina Dhowre, takes a chance on an out-there tux jacket -- and wins.
CRAZIEST: Salma Hayek
We like how the actress' gown seems to shoot silver-beaded rays at you from the shoulders. Nice touch.
WORST: Mindy Kaling
The look is ... fine. But it's just evening wear with an interesting hair color. We. Came. For. The. Camp.
CRAZIEST: Natasha Lyonne
The Russian Doll star looked outta sight -- way outta sight.
CAMPIEST: Zazie Beetz
The Atlanta star looks part bride, part groom -- and all fabulous.
WORST: Bee Carrozzini
The daughter of Vogue maven Anna Wintour makes the scene in a perfectly fine black pantsuit (with, sure, a bright-red train) that fails only in that it fails to live up to the camp theme.
