The Met Gala is quite arguably the most fashionable night of the year — and that means you definitely don’t want to wind up on the worst dressed list! Celebs swarmed New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art Monday, May 6, for the 2013 Met Gala. Monday’s event included a punk theme to preview the museum’s spring exhibition PUNK: Chaos to Couture. Dozens of celebrities ranging from Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez to Psy and Victoria’s Secret models attended the glamorous event. Rooney Mara, Lauren Santo Domingo, Riccardo Tisci, and Anna Wintour served as co-chairs for this year’s Met Gala–no surprise there, given the gala’s typical hosting by Vogue magazine. While many celebs did fully embrace the punk theme, some others chose not to do so. Here are the best and worst dressed of the 2013 Met Gala.

 

Best Dressed

Madonna

Sticking to the theme, Madonna donned a Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci blazer and ripped fishnet body stocking with no pants. The Material Girl after all did live in the punk era.

Rooney Mara

Rooney Mara looked like a gothic beauty in this lace and metal Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci custom dress. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo wore a beautiful white lace dress with a punk touch, thanks to the zippers. Edgy but elegant.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker committed to the punk theme in this amazing Philip Treacy Mohawk headpiece, Gilles dress, Fred Leighton jewels, and Christian Louboutin custom boots. This why I love SJP, she takes risks!

Christina Ricci

Christina wore a Vivienne Westwood gown, Casadei shoes, Ferragamo bag, Harry Winston jewelry nails for this event. Funky dress, great color, and a nice take on tartan. The dress fits her well, and she’s rocking the look.

Anne Hathaway

The dress walks the line, but the new blonde hair is a winner. She looks great. Anne Hathaway shocked with her newly bleached blonde hair as she walked the carpet with designer Valentino, wearing a vintage Valentino gown from 1992.

 

Worst Dressed:

Beyoncé

She may be Queen B, but Beyoncé failed to impress. She didn’t embody punk and her dress just seemed to reminiscent of Katniss Everdeen’s gown as the Girl on Fire. Her hair and makeup did not help either.

Kim Kardashian

Kim K.’s makeup is flawless and her hair is simple, but lovely in a low ponytail. Her dress, on the other hand, feels needlessly frumpy from so much fabric and such a busy floral pattern. Her matching heels don’t do much, and the floral just doesn’t really seem punk.
