This year’s Met Gala theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” which is celebration of and Black fashion, Black menswear, and the history of Black dandy. According to StyleCaster fashion editor Robyn Merrett, expect “power dressing with sharp tailoring, dramatic silhouettes, statement accessories,” and for beauty, “think towering hair, graphic eye makeup, and main-character manicures.” So our eyes are on the Met Gala red carpet to see who showed up, dressed up, and did their homework.

Our eyes are also on the celebs who…didn’t quite get the assignment (as gorgeous as their looks are). We’ll be updating this page with all the stars who didn’t follow the “dress code,” i.e. didn’t wear a Black designer or pay homage to Black fashion or culture. Keep refreshing for a full list of all the stars who missed the mark.
