Worst Dressed Celebrities at the Met Gala Throughout the Years

A legend of design, Vera Wang dressed herself in what looked like a deconstructed bridal tuxedo—voluminous white sleeves, satin hot pants, and a corseted bodice. It was risky, but risk requires reward. The result looked more like a forgotten fitting than a finished garment.

Wang’s legacy is elegance, grace, flow. This was disjointed, almost juvenile in its proportions. Designers walking the carpet in their creations is bold; doing so in something that diminishes their mastery is baffling. The Met Gala expects awe from Vera.
