Rose Byrne
She may have played a badass agent in the newer X-Men films and gone wild with Seth Rogen in Neighbors, but the Australian actress shows just how classy she can be.
Diane Kruger
Even in her movies that are more action-centric like Troy, National Treasure, and Inglorious Basterds, Diane Kruger has always had grace. Though we can’t really classify it as a “dress”, we’re pretty sure Diane can pull it off just as well.
Rihanna
The singer/songwriter earns the award for Most Presentation. Pretty sure Belle wore something like this in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Just with a lot less, you know, dress. Nonetheless, this is still a stunning piece of clothing.
Zendaya
This post-teen pop star wins the award for Most Unique Dress. The actress/dancer/singer is currently in the transitional period between Disney pop star and established actress, and no doubt she’s determined to stand out. She’s set to appear in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Emma Roberts
Classy, classy, classy. No better word can describe Emma in this emerald-green dress. The We’re the Millers star shows that more doesn’t always mean better.
Olivia Wilde
Elegant. Very elegant. The Rush and Tron: Legacy actress looks perfect in pink. She’s already pretty perfect, but the pink just solidifies it all.
Hailee Steinfeld
It’s hard to believe that it’s been six years since this girl (woman now) was playing the tough-as-nails tween in True Grit. Now she’s all grown up, and sporting one of the most stylish dresses at the gala.
Amal Clooney
Amal is married to George Clooney, but that’s the least of her achievements. She is a Lebanese-British lawyer specializing in international law and human rights (she is currently representing the founder of WikiLeaks). Plus, you know, she looks pretty hot in this red frilly dress!
Joan Smalls
It only makes sense that a supermodel could make a dress this see-through look amazing. The Puerto Rican model made #8 on Forbes “World’s Highest Paid Models” list, and we can see why!
Bee Shaffer
Bee is the daughter of Vogue publisher Anna Wintour, and it’s clear to see where she gets her fashion inspiration from! Some dresses with trains can look extremely gaudy, but this cherry blossom dress looks quite fashionable.
Reese Witherspoon
Sometimes simple is the most chic. The Walk the Line and Legally Blonde star is looking pretty stunning in red.
Kim Kardashian
Oh look, it’s the Kardashians. In this case you might actually want to look. Kim is rocking a dress that really emphasizes her curves (though we’ve see them all before in that one picture). Kanye doesn’t look too thrilled, but maybe he just found out how much that drape of a dress cost.
Kate Hudson
Kate is displaying a golden glow, and not just because of the dress. But yes, the 37-year-old actress still looks great in it.
Dianna Agron
Maybe this is a case of the woman looking more stunning than the dress, but all in all there’s still a pretty amazing ensemble thing going on. She’s always been drop-dead gorgeous in Glee, but here she shows how even more amazing she looks in a full white gown.
Ivanka Trump
Regardless of what you think of her daddy-o, you have to admit that Ivanka is still pretty classy in blue. She’s a businesswoman by day and a pure fashionista by night.
Allison Williams
Allison is pretty stunning when not playing Peter Pan alongside Christopher Walken. Oh who are we kidding, she looks stunning no matter what! The Girls actress could probably wear a burlap sack and still make it work.
Karlie Kloss
Ooh la la. I know she was a Victoria’s Secret model but . . . wow! Even basic black can look chic on the right woman. Plus she’s rocking that whole old-school dress-connected-to-wrist business.
Kendall Jenner
She may come from a more-money-than-they-know-what-to-do-with family, but at least Kendall knows how to spend it on attire. This turquoise-green dress really compliments her form, and we’re just glad she has such excellent taste!
Jennifer Lopez
It’s hard to take your eyes off of Jennifer’s dress (or at least what part actually consists of dress). Maybe the curves underneath help, too. She’s always been a huge sex appeal, and she more than embraces it with her attire. Take your time with this one before moving on.
Kate Mara
It’s difficult to imagine anything not looking good on Kate, so this already-stylish dress is complemented all the more by the classy lady inside it. Her top films are pretty masculine in nature (127 Hours, Shooter, The Martian, Iron Man 2), but she’s anything but masculine.
Elizabeth Banks
The Hunger Games and 40-Year-Old Virgin actress sure understands the concept of “dress to impress”. Sky-blue is most definitely her color!
Caroline Trentini
Caroline is a Brazilian supermodel, and man does she emphasize the “super” part! She’s already pretty gorgeous, but that dress just completes it all.
Katy Perry
This dress earns the award for Most Creative. Complete with a spray paint can purse, it’s no secret that Katy Perry always aims for flamboyance in everything she does. Ok, so maybe this dress doesn’t fall under the “beauty” category, but it totally embraces the idea of really dressing up for these Met Gala events.
Alison Brie
Alison is already lovely, but you add that purple dress on her and she suddenly transforms into a work of art!
Lily Aldridge
Not quite sure what’s up with the fish, but this Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated model balances out her strange aquatic love affair with how gorgeous she looks in that frilly dress.
Jessica Chastain
Even though Chastain’s dress is pretty similar to Kate Hudson’s, she certainly looks a bit more stunning. It perfectly complements her figure and reminds us of just how classy and beautiful of a woman she truly is.
Jennifer Lawrence
J Law’s dress is very stylish without overdoing it. The Hunger Games star sure knows how to pick a dress that displays her form while still maintaining a sense of dignity and grace.
Lizzy Caplan
The Cloverfield and Mean Girls actress is perfect for this Grecian-style dress. Both dress and woman are very beautiful.
Gong Li
Some women simply don’t have the right body shape to pull off tight-forming dresses, but Gong Li sure does! She looks like a goddess with perfect form.
Jessica Hart
This British romance writer knows how to go sleek. She certainly fits the whole Chinese theme (with even a slight hint of Aztec thrown in).
Emily Blunt
She’s done fashion movies (The Devil Wears Prada) and action movies alike (Edge of Tomorrow) and done them all extremely convincingly. Plus she’s filling in for Julie Andrews in the upcoming Mary Poppins sequels. Her dress just emphasizes how amazing of a woman she really is.
Lily Collins
If you don’t see Audrey Hepburn reincarnate then you need to check your eyesight. Lily Collins is absolutely gorgeous, dress or not. But, yeah, she kinda looks extra stunning in her mesh netting and flower dress.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
She’s played it epic in movies like Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Mad Max: Fury Road and played it sexy in her Victoria’s Secret modeling career. She definitely looks the latter in this stunning piece of attire.
Gigi Hadid
She’s slim, she’s stylish, she’s sexy, and she’s gorgeous; Gigi has it all. Her sleek red dress just confirms what we already know.
