Miranda Kerr

This pretty, floral Oscar de la Renta dress was just that: pretty. But was it Met-appropriate? We think not.

Rihanna

The Met alternative to Miranda's timeless silhouette is Rihanna's show-stopping Commes des Garçons number with 3D florals.

Joan Smalls

Of course, Joan's looking bangin' in Topshop, but it falls flat in comparison to the following.

Katy Perry

This John Galliano-designed Margiela look is perfect for the event. The layers of ruched detail provided visual interest and the crystals, satin ribbon, and embroidery were fantastic takes on Met glamour.

Karlie Kloss

In Carolina Herrera, Kloss is looking chic, but to CdG-it-up a little deconstruction was needed.

Claire Danes

This Monse look is what we're talking about! This is how you take classic pieces, unravel them and Met-ify them.

Elle Fanning

Elle's a vision in this baby blue number, but where are the innovative details?

Liu Wen

Unconventional denim would have definitely done the trick. Hats off to this supermodel for sporting this Off-White look.

Laura Dern

The Big Little Lies actor stuns in this navy Gabriela Hearst number, and although we love the geometric top, more could have been done to hit a home run.

Tracee Ellis Ross

Tracee's sculptural CdG midi is the perfect example.

Behati Prinsloo

Lastly, the VS Angel wore a slinky Topshop gown with a killer train, but it was a little too streamlined for such an occasion.

Adwoa Aboah

We would have loved to see her take this supermodel's approach of bridging any gap between menswear and womenswear. This Calvin Klein creation is major.
