MET Gala 2021: Who Wore It Best? Worst? And Most Ridiculously?



They came. They saw. They conquered the fashion universe.


By trying to look at unique as possible.


On Monday night, September 13, singers, actresses and lots of other celebrities we’ve never heard of gathered in New York City to walk the red carpet of the annual MET Gala.


The theme of this year’s version of the event?


“In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.” 


Whatever the heck that means.


For the most part, it meant that such stars as Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Kristen Stewart tried to one-up each other with outfits they’d never wear anywhere else.


Who succeeded? Who failed? And who likely needed about two weeks to get into her dress?


Scroll down to find out!

1.
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky

Why bother to get dressed up, right, ASAP Rocky? He’s just snuggling here alongside Rihanna at the MET Gala.

Emily Ratajkowski

Hubba. Hubba. We’re very thankful to Vera Wang for designing this dress for Emily Ratajkowski.

3.
Cara Delevingne vs. The Patriarchy
