Met Gala 2026 dress code<\/a>, too.<\/p>\nStill, the first Monday in May brought plenty of sartorial wins and more than a few \u201coh my Gods,\u201d as Rivers put it. Below, the red carpet fashion expert weighs in on the best and worst looks from this year\u2019s Met ball.<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cNailed the assignment. The molded bodysuit, even with the nipples. The dress [that was] half-on, half-off. It was art, and it was artistic. The volume and pattern of the skirt, the corset, the whole thing.\u201d <\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cShe looked amazing. It was skintight, it was that bone color \u2014\u00a0and again, that boob part falling open with another nipple, which makes us wonder if Skims is pushing the nipple bra that they made. I think the whole family organizes, even if they\u2019re getting ready separately. They know a cohesive look. But [Kendall and Kylie] were two of the best.\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cIn my Kardashian-Jenner [Met Gala outfit ranking], it went Kylie, Kendall, Kris, and then<\/em> Kim. I knew it was sculptural, I knew it was art. I just think other people did it better. Her two little sisters lapped her. And those boobs! Hey, kids, be careful: Someone\u2019s going to lose an eye!\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cFirst of all, the dress was latex. Talk about art \u2014\u00a0trying to drape latex like that, so it moves. It was completely monochromatic. The shoes were [designed] to match. It was unexpected and it was one of my first \u2018wows.’\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cShe got the memo. Those are film strips; she was doing a nod to Audrey Hepburn, and the film strips are actually negatives of the movie \u2018Sabrina.\u2019 Using a type of fabric \u2014\u00a0a textile \u2014\u00a0that is not traditional was [great to see]. And the creation of that [look] was amazing; if you really look at it, there\u2019s not a bump, there\u2019s not a crease. It was brilliant.\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cIt looked like they walked around the workroom and just slapped s\u2014t on her. Like, \u2018Give me the moss out of the plant!\u2019 \u2018Does anyone have any phone chargers?\u2019 \u2018Let\u2019s throw some stuff on the boobs!\u2019 It looked like she was trying out to be one of the characters in \u2018Wicked.\u2019 And we expect so much from her \u2014\u00a0she always goes over the top \u2014\u00a0but this time, over the top was just a miss.\u201d<\/p>\n WireImage<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cA Marc Jacobs intestine! Boy, it just was unattractive.\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cThe actual most frightening was Sam Smith, whom I have dubbed the \u2018Grim Geisha.\u2019 If you saw that sitting at the end of your bed, you\u2019d be like, \u2018Wow, the Grim Reaper seems to be really well dressed this year.’\u201d<\/p>\n Kevin Mazur\/Getty Images for The Met Museum\/Vogue<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cThe grand finale! That dress, I mean, how did they even get her in it? Talk about nailing the assignment. And then to have Blue Ivy and Jay-Z! I mean, that\u2019s a nice-looking family. That was worth the 10-year wait.\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cThe other great-looking couple was Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union. She was in Michael Kors, and the color [was perfect], and it just looked like liquid. [Kors] is so brilliant at draping and tailoring. And then him with the no sleeves. He brought good genetics, and she brought good genetics and a phenomenal dress. And the two of them together did hit the theme!\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cRemember, she was on Blue Origin with Lauren [S\u00e1nchez Bezos]. If you look, part of the train has singe marks, so all I was thinking was, \u2018Thank goodness the heat shield held up!’\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cEverybody\u2019s raving about it, and all I saw was gay Cousin Itt.\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cShe\u2019s on such a career comeback, but the thing is, she\u2019s too short for that dress \u2014 and I say this as someone who\u2019s small. When you have stuff at the top and stuff at the bottom and the train and the slit \u2026 it\u2019s a proportion thing. Certain clothes look better on tall people. And that was just a bummer.\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI used to have a very similar shirt.\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images for The Met Museum\/Vogue<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cWe know Heidi loves Halloween. And yes \u2014\u00a0art, marble, get it. But you know how they say Christmas in July? Yeah, this was Halloween in May.\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images for The Met Museum\/Vogue<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cSometimes you take a risk and it works; this was leaning into the art, and Lisa\u2019s [look] worked. It was beautiful underneath, and then that veil being held up by the two arms that were molds of her<\/em> arms. I can\u2019t necessarily explain why, but that worked [with the] theme.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nSource link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When it comes to red carpet fashion, Melissa Rivers isn\u2019t one to mince words \u2014\u00a0and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1016,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/met-melissa.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1015"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1015\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
