Borrowed from Grandma

Gwyneth Paltrow’s pale yellow Jimmy Choo dress that she chose for the 2019 Gala has been compared to a “nightgown out of grandma's closet,” with some reporters quipping, “grandma wants her fancy nightgown back!” We also aren’t too sure if this dress really fits the whole memo of the "Camp: Notes on Fashion" theme of the evening. The strange neckline that appears almost clown-like doesn’t help her case, either.

We will say that this color does wonders for the actress and founder of the wellness brand Goop. Also, it was quite a surprise that she even attended the event since she slammed the organization back in 2013, stating that she never wanted to attend the event ever again due to the hot, ‘un-fun’ and crowded vibes that the night gave way to. Nonetheless, she showed her face at the event again, six years later.

Winging It

We did warn you that this singer loves to go the extra mile when it comes to getting dressed up for parties. The theme of 2018’s Met Gala, “Catholic Imagination,” inspired plenty of angelic and devilish attire. Once again, Katy Perry did not disappoint when she showed up in a dazzling gold Versace dress with a giant pair of wings.

When she was asked by reporters how she felt in the outfit that night, she responded, “I feel very angelic. Celestial. Ethereal.” It is a stunning look, but it also looks like it’d be heavy – and extremely hard to sit down in.
