The Met gala is finally here, and while I've got my favorite looks of the night, there was also a handful of getups that left us, how shall I put this, befuddled.
After all, Anna Wintour's annual Costume Institute gala is all about striking the balance between fashion-forward and chic, and that can be a tall order.
Some stars pulled this off with incredible ease, while others took a giant leap of fashion faith…but the whole look just didn't quite come together.
Case in point: Kate Upton's black sheer getup that looks like it's from a creepy Victorian ghost story. Shudder. And then there was Sandra Lee, who looked like a fairy godmother I definitely wouldn't want to dress me for the ball.
Look, if everyone was a perfect ten, then the red carpet would be a pretty boring place. So here are my favourite Met missteps of the night. We gotta give 'em props for at least keeping things interesting!

SANDRA LEE
Oof. Oh, Sandra. The Semi-Homemadehost went full on '80s prom for the Met gala in this massive white, fairy godmother-esque getup
KATIE HOLMES
OK, to her defense, canary yellow is one of the hardest colors to pull off. But that's not my main beef with this Belle-inspired gown. There's so much dress!
KATE UPTON
Kate Upton is one gorgeous girl, but this sheer and corseted number isn't doing her any favors. And that explosion of flowers on her head really sends this look over the edge.
LUPITA NYONG'O
Who greenlit this getup...literally? The unthinkable happened: Lupita finally made a red carpet misstep in this flapper-inspired Prada getup. It was bound to happen, and after all those hits I think she's earned at least one mis
KRISTEN STEWART
Kristen looks like she really wishes she was at last year's punk-themed gala
LEA MICHELE
The extra layer of material in the middle of Lea's gold Altuzarra gown is throwing me off a bit.
LENA DUNHAM
The short hemline has a fun and flirty feel, but it kinda seems like the dress is wearing Lena, instead of Lena wearing the dress
NICOLE RICHIE
I never thought I'd see this much sideboob at a white tie affair. This seems better suited for last year's punk theme
