Dahlia Padron: Fashion Run Down

The 2015 Met Gala has come and gone once again. This year I was pleasantly surprised by how well dressed the majority of the attendees were. The theme was China: Through the Looking Glass, and apparently some celebrities had a difficult time distinguishing between China and Japan - kimonos were a popular choice. Red was HUGE on the carpet this year, as were green and blue.

Best Dressed

I had a really hard time narrowing it down to just fourteen, but tried to be relatively selective. In my personal opinion the Met Gala is an opportunity for celebrities to take fashion risks and be creative. While it isn't necessary, I give major props to the ones who do. These are in no particular order, I love each and every one so much.

Honorable Mention

Okay, so I cheated a little. I couldn't let these AMAZING looks go unmentioned. I know these are technically "honorable mentions" but they're just as good as my picks for best dressed in my opinion.

Worst Dressed

While the good was good, the bad was bad. A few celebrities decided to take the Chinese theme a little too seriously, and were borderline offensive. Nothing is worse than a beautiful woman trying too hard (I'm talking to you Kris Jenner). I chose these outfits as the worst because they were either age inappropriate ( Dylan Hilfiger), ill-fitting (Katie Holmes), or just plain ugly. The pictures speak for themselves.
