Another set of people who managed to give us a moment at the Met Gala 2026 are Lauren Wasser, Bad Bunny and Madonna, because just look at them?

Cardi B, Sarah Paulson, and Sabrina Harrison made a mark, because just look at those outfits – best dressed or not, they sure got people talking, and that’s a lot of what Met is about, isn’t it?

Kendall Jenner, Katy Perry, Heidi Klum and Kylie Jenner could’ve done so much, and yet, all they gave us were drab looks that sort of merged with the carpet and did nothing for them.

8. Pretty but not on theme

Margot Robbie, Nicole Kidman and Blake Lively tried to bring their edge to the red carpet, but it just didn’t seem to work, and all it ended up looking – was pretty.
