The 2023 Met Gala took place Monday evening in Manhattan, and the fashion assignment was to celebrate the late Karl Lagerfeld’s legacy through the theme “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty.” Some stars understood the assignment. Others, well … not so much.

The best-and-worst-dressed list was easy to pick out among the sea of stars dressed for this incredible night in fashion history. Some stars who made the list of hits and misses include Nicole Kidman, Kate Moss, Gisele Bundchen and Dua Lipa. Let’s take a look at which of them turned heads, and which had people wondering, “What were they thinking?”

Definitely a hit: Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman’s Chanel dress was a stunning, feminine, pale-pink gown that flowed in the perfect haute-couture fashion. The legendary actress wore the very same dress nearly 20 years ago as part of her advertising campaign for Chanel No.5. Kidman’s look was on-point and flawless in every way.

Missed the mark: Kate Moss

Kate Moss is usually a fan favorite when it comes to her fashion choices, but her 2023 Met Gala dress fell short of the wow-factor we’ve come to expect from the supermodel. He pale-pink dress boasted all the right features, including gossamer sleeves, but seemed too simple for the occasion and lacked the wow-effect fans were hoping for.

Definitely a hit: Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa embodied Lagerfeld perfection in her full vintage Fall/Winter ‘92 Chanel couture bride dress. The white corset gown had black and silver accents along the trim, and she wore it well. The famous singer debuted a never-before-seen oversized Tiffany diamond necklace that was pulled from the vault for this very special occasion, and it gave Cinderella vibes to adoring fans.

Missed the mark: Brooklyn Decker

Model Brooklyn Decker underwhelmed in her casually crocheted gown that gave off beach vibes. She accented her far-too-casual look with layers of eclectic jewelry that looked out of place and mismatched. The outfit didn’t seem to be Lagerfeld-inspired in any way, and it didn’t hold up to the industry’s standards for such an haute-couture event.

Definitely a hit: Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway understood the assignment and delivered fashion perfection at the 2023 Met Gala. Her gown contained a nod to the classic Chanel tweed and included Versace safety-pin detailing. The sexy, retro look suited her perfectly, and she played up the style with chunky heels that popped in the best way possible.

Missed the mark: Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian arrived at the 2022 Met Gala wearing Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress, so the expectations for her 2023 look were quite high. Sadly, she disappointed, showing up in a strange outfit that gave a nod to her Skims line with the use of a tan-colored torso covering. She then draped herself in 50,000 freshwater pearls from Schiaparelli’s Daniel Roseberry. The pearls themselves were incredible, but the assembly of the outfit was weak and underwhelming.

Definitely a hit: Gisele Bundchen

Closing off on a high note was supermodel and Victoria’s Secret icon Gisele Bundchen. Her flawless delivery of what a real-life-angel looks like was an absolute hit. Her white silk tulle Chanel dress was embroidered with stunning vertical stripes of white sequins, and her natural wavy hair and natural-looking cosmetics gave off effortlessly beautiful vibes.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
