After taking the punk route last year, this year’s theme for the Met Gala was anything but punk, it was ‘White Tie and Decorations’ paying homage to Charles James, America’s first and best known couturier. This time’s theme couldn't have been any easier or classier for the Met attendees but still many managed to mess it up. And while a few did live up to the expectations, they were easily overpowered by the numerous fashion disasters that were seen on the red carpet. While some looks made us feel that they belonged to a different event or theme, others just had us wondering, ’What were they thinking?’. So here are the 10 Worst Dressed Stars at Met Gala 2014:
1. Rita Ora
Rita Ora wore a Donna Karan Atelier gown with custom Casadei shoes and Lorraine Schwartz jewellery. What exactly happened was, she wore a beautiful gown, then decided to make the slit a tad too high, tie a gold ribbon here and a gold ribbon there, till she looked like she had been attacked by kindergarten students in their art and craft class and tadaaa she was ready for the Met Gala. Hands down the worst look of the evening.
2. Zoe Saldana
Zoe Saldana is a fashion diva with impeccable style and someone worth looking out for on the red carpet. But this time she failed to deliver in a Michael Kors custom black cashmere bodysuit and a black and white floral skirt. While we do love the hair and make-up, the outfit, we just don’t feel. The poufy skirt is completely WRONG!
3. Lea Michele
What is it with stars overdoing ‘gold’ this event? Lea Michele wore a gold Altuzarra gown and Christian Louboutin shoes. The dress is extremely unflattering on the beautiful star, especially the neckline. Don’t even get us started on the hair, they are a complete disaster.
4. Solange Knowles
This look is the perfect example to get the reaction – ‘What was she thinking?’ Where should we start? Everything from the hair to the 3.1 Phillip Lim dress to the clutch to the Lorraine Schwartz jewellery is wrong. Maybe the only things we like are the shoes and the color of the dress.
5. Kristen Stewart
Seems like no one cared to inform Kristen that the theme this year is not the same as last year’s punk theme. She sported an edgy Chanel dress from its Haute Couture Collection. While the dress is very Kristen, we just hope she had worn it for some other event.
6. Katie Holmes
Do we even need to mention what is wrong with Katie Holmes’ off-the-shoulder Marchesa gown? She forgot to get it ironed! Yes we know, it is supposed to be the ‘look’, but the creasing is just plain ugly. One thing we do love is the huge Harry Winston yellow diamond on her finger.
7. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen
The Olsen twins wore long sleeved vintage Chanel ball gowns. We would be lying if we said we weren’t expecting the twins to end up on the worst dressed list. They always do! But well, if that’s how they like to dress up, then who are we to stop them.
8. Maggie Gyllenhaal
Seems like the ‘Dark Knight’ star thought she was going to the mall and ended up at the Gala instead, because no one in their right mind would choose such a dress for an event like the ‘Met Gala’. Out of all the Valentino gowns did she really think that this one was the most flattering?
9. Lupita Nyongo
We love Lupita and she always manages to get herself noticed on the red carpet for the right reasons. But this time she just did not reach the mark. She wore a green net dress by Prada. From the beads to the headband to the matching Prada Shoes, the look was just too much to handle.
10. Kate Upton
Kate Upton lost the title for the worst dressed star to Rita Ora by only a few points. This 21 year old swimsuit model looked anything but 21 in this Dolce & Gabbana dress.
