After being postponed due to Covid-19, the Met Gala was last night. The gala was in celebration of the Costume Institute’s newest exhibition, “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” which opens to the public in the Anna Wintour Costume Center on September 18th.

Here are some of the best, and worst looks from the night:

• 9. Lil Nas X — Part 2

  Share

  Americans love superheroes, and Lil Nax X gave us just that after he unsheathed his king's robe.

• 13. Barbie Ferreira

  Share

  Barbie Ferreira adorned in all pearls and shaved brows is the high fashion we've been craving from an event like this.

• 16. Naomi Osaka

  Share

  Co-chair Naomi Osaka melds together her heritages of Haitian and Japanese and gave us this amazingly fierce look. Her hair is art!
• 22. Billie Eilish

  Share

  Co-chair Billie Eilish redeemed her VMA look by showing up as glam as they come, compared to Marilyn Monroe. She said the holiday Barbies she wanted as a child inspired this look.

• 23. Lil Nas X — Part 1

  Share

  Showing up as a king, Lil Nas X's first part of his three-part Met Gala look is a gigantic golden cape that only he could pull off.

• 24. Carolyn Maloney

  Share

  Following Texas' recent bill, Carolyn Maloney proudly represents women.
• 25. Amanda Gorman

  Share

  Co-chair Amanda Gorman invoking Lady Liberty, with a book in hand which reads, ""Give Us Your Tired" -- a nod to the poem that appears on the foot of the Statue of Liberty.

• 37. Keke Palmer

  Share

  Keke Palmer shined as host of the Teen Vogue livestream coverage of the event.

• 41. Evan MocK

  Share

  Evan Mock with a bold S&M mask, hardware incorporated suit jacket, and shorts!
• 44. Adam Mosseri and Monica Mosseri

  Share

  Honorary chair Adam Mosseri and Monica Mosseri nailed their refreshing wearable art looks!

• 46. Timothée Chalamet

  Share

  Co-chair Timothée Chalamet surprisingly makes this satin tux look work with white socks and Converses.

• 47. Maisie Williams

  Share

  Maisie Williams is almost unrecognizable with shaved eyebrows, an ornate hairdo, and avante-garde look.
• 49. Ella Emhoff

  Share

  Ella Emhoff making street fashion Met Gala worthy in this red ensemble.

• 50. Julia Garner

  Share

  Julia Garner looking like a star, quite literally shimmering from head to toe.

• 20. Kristen Stewart

  Share

  Kristen Stewart looks more of a disheveled Brit than an In America fashion look.
• 1. Zoë Kravitz

  Share

  Since we haven't seen Rihanna's red carpet look, we have to give the #1 spot to Zoë Kravitz for this vision of perfection.

• 10. Rosalía

  Share

  These shoes and gloves on Rosalía makes her look like a lobster, or Him from Powerpuff Girls.

• 19. Regina King

  Share

  Regina King looks like a powerful boss, but we don't think it's fierce enough for the Met.
• 14. Kid Cudi

  Share

  Kid Cudi looks like The Joker.

• 30. Kehlani

  Share

  The Tin Man called, he wants his suit back, Kehlani.

• 3. Natalia Bryant

  Share

  Natalia Bryant looks like a mixture between an Easter egg and a Christmas tree ornament.
• 10. Helen Lasichanh and Pharrell Williams

  Share

  Matching in all black leather suits, we are loving Helen Lasichanh and Pharrell Williams' In America adaptation.

  Winnie Harlow's dress is giving us movement with this ensemble!
• 39. Kim Kardashian

  Kim K's look would have received a better review if there was something more alluring to it besides her face being completely covered.

• 6. Lupita Nyong’o

  Share

  When thinking of this year's theme, Lupita Nyong'o thought of America being the birth and popularity of denim.

• 3. Teyana Taylor

  Share

  Teyana Taylor really knows how to serve body and fashion at the same time -- absolutely flawless.

• 5. Erykah Badu

  Share

  Erykah Badu let her accessories do the talking, with a gun-shaped bag and her face hidden within a mesh orb, taking her high-fashion interpretation of In America to an unmatched level.

• 35. Justin Bieber

  Share

  Justin Bieber's attempt at fashion is quite laughable at this point. Promoting his Drew fashion house, he showed up in child-like sneakers, and his wide legged pants just make him look shorter.

• 24. Jennifer Lopez

  Share

  Jennifer Lopez did a bit too much with her western Mad Max inspired look. The fur coat kills the whole thing, really.
• 7. Gabrielle Union

  Share

  Gabrielle Union's hair and dress is a walking vision at this year's Met Gala.

• 35. Taika Waititi and Rita Ora

  Share

  The gorgeous couple look amazing, with Taika donning a black silk suit, while Rita shined in her glam two-piece outfit.
