We understand dressing for the theme, but the theme was not embarrassing yourself. Here are some of the worst fashion moments from this year’s Met gala.

Beyonce:

She looks like a shrink-wrapped raw chicken breast covered in pearls that are worth more than all of our college tuition's combined.

Rita Ora:

I wasn’t aware that she was promoting her upcoming feature on sesame street, but I can appreciate the fact that they finally gave Big Bird a wife.

Taylor Swift:

Taylor’s dress is what you get when you mix the 2007 fashion crisis with the tin foil-wrapped desires of someone whose parents repressed their goth phase in middle school.

Selena Gomez:

Taking her aesthetic inspiration from sea slugs, this look reminded us of 1950’s housewife mixed with the attire of someone that frequents leather bars. When the directors on set at Disney channel told you to take risks, this isn’t what they meant.

Madonna:

We don’t really remember this episode of AHS coven, a fact that we are continually grateful for. Needless to say, she is not the next supreme.

Katy Perry:

You’d think that one of those keys would unlock a wardrobe with an outfit that doesn’t make us want to wash our eyes with bleach. Apparently, we were mistaken.
