Best Dressed
La La Anthony
The Power actress dazzled in a white gown with draping gold chains designed by Sergio Hudson, turning it up a notch with a gold statement bracelet and matching rings.
Penelope Cruz
Attendees were captivated by the On the Fringe actress from the moment she arrived in a sheer hooded gown, a bedazzled and enchanting style from Chanel Couture's spring/summer 1988 collection.
Emily Ratajkowski
Fans were divided over the model's hairstyle for the star-studded affair, but many raved over her plunging nude Tory Burch gown.
Rita Ora
The Black Widow hitmaker dared to bare in her revealing black Prabal Gurung gown that definitely stole the show.
Kim Kardashian & North West
The mother-daughter duo were spotted leaving the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in NYC and onlookers were going wild over Kim's custom Schiaparelli gown adorned with pearls and jewels.
Doja Cat
The singer lived up to her name by donning prosthetic cat makeup to this year's Met Gala, but it was actually in honor of Lagerfeld's furry family member, Choupette.
Dua Lipa
The New Rules songstress sent pulses racing in a 1992 vintage Chanel couture gown.
Kendall Jenner
She turned heads in a black leotard with caped sleeves and sky-high sparkling platforms.
Kylie Jenner
The reality star had her plus one, Stormi! Kylie stunned in a red cutout gown by Haider Ackermann.
Worst Dressed
Jared Leto
The Suicide Squad star should've left the cat ensemble to Doja.
Lil Nas X
The Old Town Road hitmaker wasn't afraid to think outside of the box at least, rocking a Dior Men thong and silver body paint encrusted with pearls and crystals.
Alexa Chung
Too much frill! The star's dress made by Dublin designer Róisín Pierce fell flat at the event.
Emma Chamberlain
The influencer wowed with her flawless makeup and chic hair, but critics weren't feeling her simplistic blue number and argued it was missing that glam factor despite the glittering bodice.
Rami Malek
The Mr. Robot star opted for an effortless look, pairing a white long sleeve with black suit pants and shoes that certainly didn't set the bar.
Karen Elson
The model and singer-songwriter went for a sultry sheer gown of her own, but the floral accents were too overwhelming.
