Met Gala Dresses: The Best & The Worst In History! (PHOTOS)

  • GOOD: Beyonc?, 2012

    Glittering and intricate, this Givenchy dress is just as fierce as the singer herself.

  • BAD: Bianca Brandolini D'Adda, 2012

    So much sparkle...

  • GOOD: Florence Welch, 2012

    Only certain eccentric women can pull off the frivolousness of Alexander McQueen's creations. Welch is one of them.

  • BAD: Alicia Keys, 2004

    2004 was an interesting year.

  • GOOD: Diane Kruger, 2012

    The simple cut on the top of this dress and the deep purple save it from looking too ridiculous.

  • BAD: Chloe Sevigny, 2012

    We feel like she should have covered up better...

  • GOOD: Christina Ricci, 2012

    This is literally the only place one could wear a Thakoon dress with a massive bow on the back and not look completely out of place.

  • BAD: Marpessa Hennink, 2012

    The frilly top is too much.

  • GOOD: Julie Macklowe, 2012

    If it weren't for Macklowe's (and her date's!) perfectly matching hair, we don't know if this dress would have been successful.

  • BAD: Giovanna Battaglia, 2012

    We like the art deco aspect of the dress, but Battaglia's floral headband added too much to the outfit.

  • GOOD: Lana Del Rey, 2012

    Del Rey looks like a gothic queen and the cape wouldn't normally work, but at a place like the Met Gala, sometimes the odd pieces add a great touch.

  • BAD: Elizabeth Banks, 2012

    The dramatic peplum is enough -- Banks didn't need to accentuate it with a mix of clashing patterns.

  • GOOD: Marc Jacobs, 2012

    The designer always takes it to the next level and knows how to pull it off. It's a mystery. Anyone else wearing this Commes des Garcons get-up would probably be mocked.

  • BAD: Coco Rocha, 2012

    Pink and yellow is a strange combination of colors. And the matching curls are just a tad corny.

  • GOOD: Karolina Kurkova, 2012

    We love the headpiece and how this outfit is just so shiny.

  • BAD: Kirsten Dunst, 2012

    We expected more from this usually very fashion-forward star. Dunst looks like an '80s pilgrim.

  • GOOD: Christina Ricci, 2011

    Ricci is taking us back to <em>The Addams Family</em> days -- and we like that.

  • BAD: Naomi Campbell, 2011

    Too much detail.

  • GOOD: Janelle Monae, 2011

    Monae always rocks a suit so well, and she glammed it up perfectly for the Met Gala.

  • BAD: Anna Dello Russo, 2011

    The fashion editor took menswear way too far with her strange headpiece and the ornate detailing.

  • GOOD: Isabel Lucas, 2011

    That intricate headband is reminiscent of the flapper period and it works beautifully.

  • BAD: Crystal Renn, 2011

    The material at the bottom of her dress kind of reminds us of a trash bag.

  • GOOD: Beyonc?, 2011

    She kills this -- even with a dangerous cut-out!

  • BAD: Freida Pinto, 2011

    We find it hard to believe this is a Chanel number. Mixing a menswear look with the femininity of a silk dress is just a bad combination.

  • GOOD: Coco Rocha, 2010

    This dramatic train seems a little inconvenient... But it is quite beautiful.

  • BAD: January Jones, 2010

    Jones looks like a villain in a superhero movie with her dramatic makeup and gloves.

  • GOOD: Doutzen Kroes, 2010

    This is a glorified princess gown and Kroes pulls it off well.

  • BAD: Vera Farmiga, 2010

    This looks like a country western costume.

  • GOOD: Katy Perry, 2010

    This dress lit up. Enough said.

  • BAD: Mary-Kate Olsen, 2009

    It looks like some animals may have gotten to Olsen before she hit the red carpet.

  • GOOD: Kirsten Dunst, 2009

    We love the silver detailing.

  • BAD: Madonna, 2009

    This outfit looks too casual and too... weird.

  • GOOD: Allison Sarofim, 2008

    We don't see rainbows enough on the red carpet.

  • BAD: Kimora Lee Simmons, 2008

    These colors clash, and we don't like how Simmons looks kind of like a coloring book.

  • GOOD: Joy Bryant, 2008

    She looks like a beautiful stained glass window!

  • BAD: Wendi Deng, 2008

    When peplum goes too far... Way too far.

  • GOOD: Christina Ricci, 2007

    We're starting to think Ricci is the ultimate Met Gala queen. Everything she wears is perfectly over-the-top. This dress manages to be both sexy and cool. Love!

  • BAD: Kate Spade, 2007

    How disappointing when a fashion designer steps out looking like she got dressed in the dark. Spade wore something nice on top and then decided to wear a trash bag as a skirt, hot pink tights and red sling-back heels. Honestly, <em>what is going on here</em>?

  • GOOD: Jessica Simpson, 2007

    2007 was a really sultry year for the Met Gala, and Simpson definitely added to that factor. Her girls are about to pop out but the dress is just sexy enough -- especially for her.

  • BAD: Thandie Newton, 2007

    Newton's cape is too dramatic and her dress is just too sheer.

  • GOOD: Jessica Stam, 2007

    This dress is so intricately beautiful. Stam looks like she is wearing a painting.

  • BAD: Anja Rubik, 2012

    She's almost naked!

  • GOOD: Sarah Jessica Parker, 2006

    Only SJP and Alexander McQueen could pull off a Anglophilia-inspired mismatched frock.

  • BAD: Karolina Kurkova, 2006

    Plaid overload. This is hurting our eyes.

  • GOOD: Amanda Peet, 2006

    This is so wonderfully girly and delicate. Peet looks so precious.

  • BAD: Matthew Williamson and Erin O'Connor, 2006

    Why. Would. Someone. Pick. This. Dress. And Williamson's disheveled appearance make it seem like he didn't even bother to look in a mirror before heading to the Gala.

  • GOOD: Jessica Stam, 2006

    This is bordering on being tacky, but Stam pulls it off.

  • BAD: Emmy Rossum, 2006

    The hair is cheesy and the outfit -- er -- costume is questionable for this usually fashion-forward star. Maybe she needed some time to grow her style chops.

  • GOOD: Vanessa Minnillo, 2005

    This only would have worked in a time like 2005, with the butterflies and flowers. We think she looks pretty.

  • BAD: Karolina Kurkova, 2005

    Sorry, but we don't "love" this.

  • GOOD: Diane Von Furstenberg, 2005

    Von Furstenberg reminds us a really nice, decorated Greek toga. She looks like a goddess.
