Met Gala worst-dressed list: Gemma Chan wears BIZARRE box dress, Eileen Gu wears tacky leather look 

These Hollywood A-listers certainly made a style statement at the Met Gala on Monday – but for all the wrong reasons.

The first Monday of May is here – which means the Met Gala is finally upon us. The annual star-studded ball, which took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, has become one of the most talked about and coveted events. 

Branded by some as the biggest night in fashion, dozens of A-list stars attended the glittering soiree, which was hosted by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, 72.

And while some seriously slayed the red carpet with their stunning looks, others completely missed the mark – including Gemma Chan, Chloe Grace Moretz, and Lala Anthony.

From bizarre structural frocks to tacky all-leather looks, there wasn’t a shortage of sartorial nightmares on the Met Gala red carpet. 

Crazy Rich Asians star Chan, 39, wore a black and silver ensemble which contained an awkwardly-shaped box-like dress. 

Anthony, 39, had a disastrous fashion faux pas in a sparkling maroon bodysuit and matching skirt, which she paired with a strange and eye-popping silver and maroon hat.

Chloe Grace Moretz, 25, opted for white bellbottom pants, a ruffled top, and a scarf. She paired the look with a silver, collared jacket

Skier Eileen Gu, 18, was seen sporting a tacky, all-leather look. She paired the small, strapless, black dress with knee high leather boots 

Norwegian actress Renate Reinsve, 34, had eyes on her for all the wrong reasons. She donned black leather pants, and an interesting black and white crop top for the event

Former Miss USA 2007 Rachel Smith’s dress didn’t hit the fashion mark. The 37-year-old beauty queen wore a long, white gown with black flowers all over it. She paired the haltered dress with a big, black belt

Moretz, 25, opted for white bellbottom pants, a ruffled top, and a scarf. She paired the look with a silver, collared jacket.

And those stars were by no means the only celebrities whose looks flopped at this year’s gala, as there were a slew of style fails.

Social media star Emma Chamberlain, 20, wore a long, white skirt and crop top – but her ruffled light brown top was not a favorite.

Model Precious Lee, 32, was spotted making her way to the event in a sheer black dress. She wore a coreset over the tight gown, along with sparkling black gloves, a silver choker, and a black head piece

Vogue director Lisa Love’s floral, maroon dress simply didn’t work

Vogue’s Allie Michler, who was accompanied by Mark Guiducci, wore a turtle-necked, ruffled white gown, which fit awkwardly on her body

Each year, on the first Monday of May, Hollywood’s biggest celebrities stomp the red carpet in lavish outfits, many of which are compulsively talked about by the public. 

And while some stars put their best fashion foot forward as they turned out for the high-profile fundraising gala – which was co-chaired by Regina King, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Lin-Manuel Miranda – others showed up in seriously questionable outfits.

The theme for this year’s event, which marks the opening of the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibit on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, is ‘Gilded Glamour’ – a nod to New York City’s Gilded Age.

This year’s soirée sees the gala return to its first Monday in May date for the first time since 2019; it was canceled in 2020 amid the COVID pandemic and delayed to September last year over safety fears.
