Met Gala Hits and Misses

Monday night’s fashion prom, otherwise known as the Met Gala (or the Costume Institute Benefit Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, officially), brought out the stars in their best (and worst) costume attire. This year’s theme was “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology,” which basically meant, “Let’s wrap ourselves in shiny clothes reminiscent of aluminum foil.” 

Of course, with every Met Gala, there are those who got the theme and those who were oblivious to it. 

Idris Elba was the co-chair of this year’s gala, and, uhmm … excuse me while I go and lick my computer screen.

This is the face Zoe Saldana makes after reading the 100th bad review of Nina while wearing a peacock.

Here’s will.i.am dressed as malware.
