The fact that the bottom half of Coco Jones’ outfit looks completely different from the front versus the side is mesmerizing. Along with her braid, it just matches so well.

A common denominator of many of these celebrities so far is in the style of clothing they wear: a tailored suit with a flare of personality at the bottom. The pins and the hint of red with Sarah Snook’s outfit is a great touch of flavor.

Whoopi Goldberg and her stylist knew exactly what the theme was and stuck to it so well.

It’s a yes to all the sparkles and the creative take with the shoulders!
As one netizen said, “stunning is her second name.”

Jamie Singer Soros just fit in with this year’s Met Gala theme so well, as it screams “tailored for her.” The top half can be seen as a reference to menswear, but the flowy skirt, bedazzled with jewels adds a nice, unique twist to it.
#19 Rachel Smith

Sometimes less is more, and Rachel Smith has proven exactly that.
Don’t get us wrong, there’s nothing ‘small’ about her outfit, but it’s definitely a departure from the extra flare that many associate with the Met Gala — and it works great.
#20 Colman Domingo (Robe-Less) And Raúl Domingo

It’s funny because Colman Domingo is actually on our worst-dressed list with his giant blue robe on. But the moment he took it off — it worked for us!
Raúl Domingo’s sparkling blue-purple matching suit was also topped off quite nicely with a bow around his neck.

#22 Pamela Anderson

Simple and stunning. Oddly enough, the shape in the bottom of her dress adds a nice little volume to the whole look.
#23 Lewis Hamilton

It fits the theme, it looks elegant and tailored well, and the accessories aren’t lacking. What more is there to ask for?
As one user on X said, “That suit is clean, best look I’ve seen tonight.”
#24 Gigi Hadid

The model stunned in a silky gold dress that hugged tight to her body, with a subtle train trailing behind her. However, a few on social media pointed out that she didn’t quite fit in with the theme.
“It’s good but it’s off theme,” one person said.
#25 Ego Nwodim

One word: absolutely.
Ego Nwodim did a perfect job fitting into this year’s theme of honoring Black styles through time. The flare of her skirt and pants complement the tiny dash of silver and red so well.
Got wisdom to pour?
