Worst-Dressed Celebrities at the 2025 Met Gala

We expected more from Pharrell Williams, who was a co-chair on Monday night.

While his fellow co-chairs arrived in everything from blue capes to ivory suits with ancient jewels, Williams stuck to a white jacket with a touch of shimmer and some black slacks.

It’s never a dull moment when Kim Kardashian arrives at the Met Gala, but this year, she didn’t make much of a splash in her all-black ensemble.

Kardashian sported a bodycon black leather dress designed by Chrome Hearts and a wide-brimmed fedora fit for Carmen Sandiego.

In classic Kardashian fashion, the reality TV star still wanted her outfit to be daring, revealing a low-rise skirt in the back. But her look didn’t stand out in a night full of bold suits and regal colors.

The Norwegian billionaire stepped on the red carpet in a cream-colored suit, an overcoat seemingly made from latex, a wide-brimmed hat, and Tabi boots.

Overall, the ensemble looked like it needed some tailoring.

He also carried a see-through briefcase filled with vibrant red roses, which made the outfit look more like a costume than a high-fashion moment.

Hawke looked pretty as she walked the red carpet in a custom Prada look. However, her pink, stapless dress and sheer, tan cape didn’t seem inspired by menswear or Black dandyism.

Sink made her Met Gala debut in a black ball gown with lace detailing on the bodice that crossed over her torso, forming sheer sleeves.

The dress was pretty but had a Gothic feel that didn’t suit the theme. The full skirt also swallowed Sink, making it look like the dress was wearing her.

It pains us to put the Princess of Genovia on this list, but Anne Hathaway’s look just didn’t stand out.

The fashion icon kept things simple for fashion’s biggest night with her custom Carolina Herrera ensemble, which featured a white dress shirt and a bedazzled black-and-white striped skirt.

A matching sparkling jacket could have added a little more oomph to the overall effect.

You couldn’t miss Anderson as she walked the red carpet in a crystal-covered gown from Tory Burch. It was silver, long-sleeved, and wide in shape. She also wore her hair in a new blonde bob.

Though the outfit was fun and a fashion risk for Anderson, it mostly looked out of her comfort zone.

Heidi Klum may be the queen of Halloween, but she played it too safe on fashion’s biggest night.

The supermodel wore a simple, sleeveless black dress with a flowing train to the Met Gala. The ensemble could have benefited from some flashy accessories or a bold jacket.

James attended the Met Gala in her husband LeBron James’ stead, as the honorary co-chair pulled out of the event due to a knee injury.

Her mermaid style Thom Browne gown was on-theme, with its suit-jacket bodice and pinstripe pattern.

However, the corset detailing on the bodice didn’t look well-tailored to James’ body. Some small adjustments to the bodice would have made this a standout look.

While we loved the silver color and sheen of Lorde’s Thom Browne outfit — which included a bandeau that seemed to defy gravity — we thought the skirt style was a bit outdated.

We think Lorde’s look would have had a bit more edge if she had paired her bandeau with tailored pants instead.

Joe Burrow made his Met Gala debut on Monday, but his baggy suit just didn’t look right for a night celebrating impeccable tailoring.

His shirt’s open collar and creased pants also detracted from the overall ensemble, and his baby-blue Gucci sneakers didn’t seem to coordinate with the color scheme.

We wish the Bengals star had opted for something a bit sharper.

Wales Bonner created Apollo’s suit, which included a cropped jacket, straight trousers, and a sparkling leopard-print shirt.

The patterned top was an unexpected twist for a menswear look, but it clashed with the yellow streaks in his hair. The look might have worked better if he had chosen just one pop of color.

Just weeks after returning from space, King attended the 2025 Met Gala in a hot-pink halter dress that resembled a deconstructed suit.

Though the dress, designed by Chuk Collins, embraced menswear elements, other style details dated the look; namely, its peplum waist, pink plaid, and sparkling floral appliques.

Its lengthy skirt also could have benefited from a bit more tailoring.

Hailey Bieber’s Met Gala look lacked the color and fun that define dandyism.

Instead, she opted for a simple black suit jacket and tights. The ensemble could’ve benefited from bold accessories or a pattern to add depth to the monochromatic look.

Kendall Jenner arrived at the Met Gala with Hailey Bieber, and her outfit was similarly lackluster.

The model sported a tailored Torishéju suit jacket with a matching gray skirt.

It was a hue that felt more corporate than representative of dandyism. It could’ve been better in a pastel tone instead.
