Fashion’s Biggest Night! The Best and Worst Dressed Stars at the 2024 Met Gala [Photos]

Nicole Kidman — Best

Although this dramatic black and white Balenciaga ball gown didn’t seem to have anything to do with the “Garden of Time” theme, Nicole looked incredible in one of the best dresses of the night.

Dua Lipa — Worst

This is truly the definition of a hot mess.

Kylie Jenner — Best

The cosmetics mogul looked like old Hollywood in a champagne-colored Oscar de la Renta gown with a gorgeous train, with a modern touch in her conical bust.

Kim Kardashian — Worst

Where to start? The gray wool sweater that didn’t go with the shiny silver dress. The sheer skirt showing off her legs in an unflattering way or the super-cinched corset waist that will get fans comparing it to her ultra-tiny 2019 Mugler look. Plus, she really needs to stop with the ice blonde hair.

Kaia Gerber — Best

No gimmicks, no trying to go on theme, just a classic white Prada column dress with gorgeous hair and makeup. That’s timeless beauty.

Kelsea Ballerini — Worst

The country singer is normally so stylish but her attempt at a “garden” theme looked like a bunch of pink and orange flowers glue-gunned onto a too-heavy sheer nude overlay. Very disappointing.

Shakira — Best

The bright red was a welcome pop of color to the gala and the singer looked like she was feeling herself in this sexy yet dramatic dress.

Chloë Sevigny — Worst

What look is this supposed to be? French revolution mixed with ring braids? At least Chloë never fails to be quirky as possible when it comes to red carpet looks.

Pamela Anderson — Best

It was so good to see the Baywatch icon looking so happy as well as stylish in a flowing creme gown that showed off her trim waist. Its rare to see Pam get this glam anymore, so what a treat!

Lizzo — Worst

Did she try to go as a wood nymph? This look is way too much of a costume.

Lewis Hamilton — Best

The world’s most fashionable athlete showed off his impressive style once again, as the Formula 1 driver donned a black Burberry ensemble.

Ed Sheeran — Worst

Oh dear. It looks like Ed was really going for “I just got dumped at the prom in 1984” with this pale blue suit and satin cummerbund.

Demi Lovato — Best

Even though the singer vowed to never return to the Met Gala, she came back a winner in this glittering strapless silver Prabal Gurung dress with a long train and floral appliques.

Serena Williams — Worst

So much gold lamé it was blinding, plus the black opera gloves seemed mismatched.

Kerry Washington — Best

The gorgeous purple color popped while the petals on her short train were on-theme

Amelia Gray Hamlin — Worst

From the goth makeup to the oversized hoop miniskirt, this was not a good look.

Kendall Jenner — Best

The model was able to pull of a serious fashion coup by going into Givenchy’s archives and pulled out a 1999 gown by then-creative designer Alexander McQueen that had never been worn before.

“It’s been sleeping for the last 25 years. It’s literally a ‘sleeping beauty,’” Kendall told Vogue. “It’s such a special moment. I feel extremely honored that they’re allowing me to wear it.”

Ariana Grande — Best

The Wicked star looked breathtaking in a glittering white top with a lace-up back and flowing skirt.

Jessica Biel — Worst

The Chuck star’s pink petal-covered dress was too much of a good thing, as it looked heavy and too voluminous, drowning her in fabric.

Elle Fanning — Best

The Maleficent star looked like a fairy in an ethereal white Balmain dress.

Karol G — Worst

The exaggerated hips gave too much structure to her nude dress adorned with crystals. The elfin ears were an apparent “garden” nod, but the wig looked more like Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones.

Alexandra Daddario — Worst

This gold bra top and boy shorts with a see-through overlay was just a total mess.

Gigi Hadid— Best

The supermodel wore one of her best looks ever in a white off-the-shoulder Thom Browne gown with a corset top and layered skirt featuring black piping and yellow 3D roses. According to Vogue, it took a team of 70 people “over 13,500 hours to make entirely by hand, and will live in Browne’s permanent archive following the Met Gala.”

Emily Ratajkowski — Worst

The model wore a completely sheer white dress that literally left nothing to the imagination. It feels like this is Emrata’s go-to look, which she’s done way too many times.

Taylor Russell — Best

The Bones and All star knocked her debut Met Gala look out of the park, wearing a molded bodice that appeared to be made of wood along with a sleek white skirt, giving a modern twist to the “Garden of Time” theme.

Lea Michele — Worst

The Glee alum’s aqua blue gown with daisy appliques that showed off her baby bump was lovely, but her massive tulle train enveloped the outfit in the worst way possible.

Mindy Kaling — Best

The actress’ highly sculptured dress by Gaurav Gupta managed to still have a soft and flowing look.

Zendaya — Best

While this wasn’t one of her best red carpet looks by a long shot, the 2024 Met Gala co-chair embraced “The Garden of Time” theme in a major way with her nature-themed gown that some said made her look “fairylike.”

Greta Gerwig — Worst

The Barbie director looked like she was going to a funeral in this shapeless black ensemble.

Jennifer Lopez — Best

J. Lo’s last few Met Gala outfits were complete disasters, so going back to her ultra-glam self in a Schiaparelli Haute Couture design was a breathtaking relief. The gown featured 2,500,000 silver foil bugles and beads and took 800 hours of hand embroidery work.

Zoe Saldana — Worst

This sandstone-colored sheer frock was way ​too simple, not to mention not stylish for the Met Gala. It looked like something a star would wear to a movie premiere of a film that wasn’t their own.
