The Met Gala is the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual charity fundraising event. Hosted by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, the event took place in New York City, but designers and celebrities from all over the world flew in to attend. This super event is considered a great fashion party or another name that the media gives to “Fashion’s biggest night”.

Although it was a flashy and splendid fashion party for A-list stars and VIP guests, throughout the event’s 50-time history, not all of their outfits were remembered and welcomed by the public. Let’s take a look at the most controversial outfits at this fashion event.

1. Taylor Swift – 2016

One of the most unforgettable moments in Taylor Swift’s career was her appearance at the 2016 Met Gala. The singer wore a snakeskin-patterned metallic outfit from the fashion house Louis Vuitton. Not only does the outfit not fit her body, but the way the dress proportions her body is also extremely “eye-sore”. The warrior boots were also loosely wrapped around her feet.

Taylor Swift is often not appreciated for her fashion sense, so perhaps when she dresses beautifully or “wears all” accessories, perhaps that’s when the media explodes. Many netizens even joked that “best friend” Kanye West should have appeared to steal the spotlight from her to save this fashion event.

2. Beyonce – 2016

In contrast to Taylor Swift, the showbiz queen’s outfit has a very beautiful outfit. This is a dress from Givenchy fashion house made from plastic material and very elaborately attached, too “on-theme” for that year’s future fashion theme. However, the mistake lies in the makeup stage.

The “Queen Bee” was probably harmed by her makeup artist that day when she appeared with a pale, lifeless and lifeless layout.

3. Lil Nas X – 2021

The American rapper in 2021 wore a metallic gold armor outfit to attend the Met Gala. This outfit was both off-topic of that year’s article (talking about American fashion) and similar to the Halloween costume festival, as if it was stuck on the “Camp” theme of the 2019 Met Gala or the “heroes and heroes” theme. fiction” Met Gala 2008

4. Selena Gomez – 2018

People always recall the glamor, success and internet explosion of the 2018 fashion gala with a Catholic theme. But with Selena Gomez. That was the moment she wanted to forget the most.

The dress looked a bit “rickety” and combined with the pale makeup layout “minus 100 points” made not only the media but also Selena’s fans unable to defend her.

5. Karlie Kloss – 2019

With the theme “Camp” of the 2019 Met Gala, the public expects to see designs that are “the more dirty the better”. The former Victoria’s Secret angel not only wore a design that looked like it was hastily bought on the street, but also made fans overjoyed after posting a “tease” about her outfit on Twitter.

6. Lil Nas X – 2023

It’s been almost a year, but many netizens really can’t think of any compliments for this rapper for his decision to wear only underwear and muscles covered in pearls to the 2023 Met Gala – a luxury fashion event. The most important and classy in the world.

If Lil Nas X wore this outfit to the Pride parade or to nightclubs to party, it would definitely be much more suitable.

7. Kim Kardashian – 2014

With the theme of honoring legendary designer Charles James in 2014, many prom outfits were worn by a series of A-list stars. In terms of shape, this isn’t a bad dress, but in terms of texture, it looks no different from sofa cover fabric or a winter blanket. In particular, this was Kim Kardashian’s first time attending the Met Gala, so this outfit brought even greater disappointment to her fans.

8. Gwyneth Paltrol – 1999

The actress wore a blue dress with snakeskin patterns for the theme of Rock Style in 1999. This dress was not only out of place but also did not fit her body. Gwyneth Paltrol looks so pretty, period!

9. Elle Fanning – 2019

Elle Fanning faded into the crowd when wearing a wild Boho inspired design for a theme that celebrates the “dirtyness” of fashion. Perhaps she will go to Coachella right after attending the 2019 Met Gala.

10. Victoria Beckham – 2003

The theme that year was Goddess – goddesses, and with this theme, guests were expected by the media to wear graceful designs like the Greek gods. Victoria Beckham, the first time she attended, did not hesitate to immediately wear a set of clothes that looked a bit less luxurious, like club wear from the fashion house Dolce & Gabbana. Fortunately, the female artist’s beauty and physique partly “bought” this wrong choice.

11. Anna Wintour – 2004

Chairwoman Anna Wintour, who set the dress code for a series of guests, was also repeatedly told by the media that her clothes were out of line with the theme. The most typical example was in 2004, when the theme that year was fashion inspired by 18th century French aristocratic costumes and interiors, Anna Wintour wore Dior haute couture designed by John Galliano. Even though the outfit was very beautiful, from the lines, the shape to the skill in the embroidery, the “host” was still criticized for being out of place and the outfit had nothing to do with the theme she proposed.

If Anna Wintour had styled that gown with a flowing skirt the same way John Galliano and his colleagues did on the 2004 Haute Couture BST runway (left), perhaps they wouldn’t have encountered such criticism.
