Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesSo many people in attendance of this year's Met Gala failed to commit to the theme of In America: A Lexicon of Fashion. Busy patterns do not necessarily equal good patterns! And neither does showing up as basic as they come. We have ranked the 40 worst looks of the night below.
40. Tessa Thompson
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesYes, Tessa Thompson is gorgeous. That's a given, but the hat kills this dress which reminds us of a rosebud.
39. Kim Kardashian
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesKim K's look would have received a better review if there was something more alluring to it besides her face being completely covered.
38. Anja Rubik
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesOf all the see-through numbers we've seen at the Met Gala, this is by far the worst. The shape does nothing for Anja Rubik and the bright teal looks tacky.
37. Jameel Mohammed
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesWe absolutely love the concept of Jameel Mohammed's look, but there was too much of a lack of structure.
36. CL
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesThe one downfall of CL's Met Gala look is the white briefs, making it look too much like a diaper. It kills an otherwise great concept.
35. Justin Bieber
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesJustin Bieber's attempt at fashion is quite laughable at this point. Promoting his Drew fashion house, he showed up in child-like sneakers, and his wide legged pants just make him look shorter.
34. Stephen Jones
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesThe leather hat with holes in it looks something out of a horror movie. The charms don't make it any less creepy, either.
33. Karlie Kloss
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesBigger isn't always better. Here, Karlie Kloss is being swallowed by her dress.
32. A$AP Rocky and Rihanna
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesAfter looking forward to what Rihanna was going to wear all night, we gotta say we're a bit disappointed in what she and her man A$AP Rocky came with. A$AP wore a beautiful and cozy-looking quilt, but we wouldn't call that fashion. Rihanna looks gorgeous as always, but we felt her look was mid.
31. Dr. Lisa Airan
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesWe see the attempt Dr. Lisa Airan tried to make, but the end result doesn't flatter her shape and looks like she's lost in the fabric.
30. Kehlani
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesThe Tin Man called, he wants his suit back, Kehlani.
29. Isabelle Huppert
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesBold doesn't always mean beautiful. This red dress with a huge poof at the bottom makes Isabelle Huppert look like a paintbrush.
28. Eva Chen
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesWe think Eva Chen's concept isn't horrible, but the cut of the dress does nothing for her.
27. Jordan Roth
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesJordan Roth mosaic throw-up of an outfit would have been better with more toned down shoes and clothes underneath the cape.
26. Sudha Reddy
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesSudha Reddy looks like she took a whole flag or emblem and just tacked it on a dress. To add insult to injury, the whole thing is sparkly.
25. Jeremy Pope
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesWe would have loved this if Jeremy Pope got rid of the train.
24. Jennifer Lopez
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesJennifer Lopez did a bit too much with her western Mad Max inspired look. The fur coat kills the whole thing, really.
23. Sunisa Lee
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesThe cut of this outfit on Sunisa Lee is very unflattering.
22. Kacey Musgraves
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesWe are snoring at Kacey Musgraves' Met Gala look. It's just SO boring...
21. Sandy Schreier
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesSandy Schreier literally looks like Beetlejuice..
20. Kristen Stewart
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesKristen Stewart looks more of a disheveled Brit than an In America fashion look.
19. Regina King
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesRegina King looks like a powerful boss, but we don't think it's fierce enough for the Met.
18. MJ Rodriguez
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesThe structure of MJ Rodriguez's outfit is just too much poof.
17. Jordan Alexander
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesJordan Alexander (R) looks like a hot mess. The neon green piping on the nude corset and the light pink on the skirt ruin the look.
16. Leylah Fernandez
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesLeylah Fernandez really just showed up in a black and white striped dress and called it a day. No effort whatsoever.
15. Tory Burch
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesWe expected more from fashion designer Tory Burch than this boring dress.
14. Kid Cudi
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesKid Cudi looks like The Joker.
13. Samantha Barry
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesAnother black and white puffy look, with an unflattering peplum top.
12. Storm Reid
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesStorm Reid looks like she took a trip back to 2010 in the worst way.
11. Chance the Rapper
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesChance the Rapper looks like Street Racer.
10. Rosalía
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesThese shoes and gloves on Rosalía makes her look like a lobster, or Him from Powerpuff Girls.
9. Cara Delevingne
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesHere's one way to make feminism a joke. Here, Cara Delevingne's bib-like shirt and "Peg the Patriarchy" slogan looks cheesy.
8. Eileen Gu
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesEileen Gu looks like a cake pop.
7. Marcus Samuelsson
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesOur eyes!! There's just too many clashing patterns on Marcus Samuelsson's look, it makes it hard to look for more than a few seconds.
6. Amandla Stenberg
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesThere is so much wrong with this look: the boots, the fuzz trim, the train, the corset-bustier, the pants and suspenders -- oh wait, that's the whole look.
5. Nia Dennis
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesGymnast Nia Dennis is doing way too much, and should have opted for something that wasn't centered on gymnastics.
4. Serena Williams
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesSerena Williams, what were you thinking? This massive pink-ombré feathery coat is horrendous, and what's underneath only makes it all look tackier.
3. Natalia Bryant
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesNatalia Bryant looks like a mixture between an Easter egg and a Christmas tree ornament.
2. Dan Levy
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesWe actually really loved Dan Levy's attempt here, but the shoes are what killed this outfit.
1. Hillary Taymour and Kim Petras
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesHalloween came early for horse girls Hillary Taymour and Kim Petras. We're going to have nightmares about this now, thanks.
