The annual Met Gala went down in New York City on Monday (May 1) and the fits did not disappoint. Actually, many of the Hip-Hop representing attendees understood the assignment, while some need to question the motivations of their stylists.
Touted as fashion’s biggest night, the 2023 edition of the Met Gala—officially known as the Costume Institute Benefit—served as a tribute to the late fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld. Held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art red carpet was littered celebs and would be style legends getting their best fits off.
Some, like Dwyane Wade, Rihanna (and her boyfriend/baby daddy A$AP Rocky) and Bad Bunny succeeded, others…well…they don’t give out participation trophies.
Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky got his fit off, but why’d he have to do this?
The culture was in there deep with Cardi B, Ice Spice, Lizzo and more hitting the red carpet. Also worth noting, Rih Rih and Pretty Flacko were so late the carpet was actually finished, but an exception was made. Check out the best, and worst, fits of the night that were rocked by some of your Hip-Hop representing (and adjacent) attendees in the building.

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards went down on Sunday night (February 5) at the Crytpo.com Arena and its red carpet is an annual cavalcade of high fashion. However, it is also the nexus of some incredibly awful fits.
Nah for real, some of these stylists are clearly criminals on the side. At the end of the day, thought, the artist does have the option to say, “No.”
So for archival purposes, it’s only right we compiled some of the wilder outfits, starting with…wait for it…Blac Chyna.
Did she drop any music in 2022? Umm, who gave her a ticket? So many questions, so much fail.
See more fashion fails (and some of the better fits) in the gallery.

Billie Eilish made her first red carpet appearance with new boyfriend Jesse Rutherford at LACMA’s 11th annual Art + Film Gala.
The pop star, 20, and lead singer of The Neighborhood, 31, stepped out wearing beige Gucci pajamas and were cozily wrapped in a giant Gucci blanket during the star-studded event, which was held at the Los Angeles County Museum on Saturday (Nov. 5). Gucci has been a longtime sponsor of the gala.
The musical couple’s red carpet debut arrived days after they went Instagram official. The “Bad Guy” singer took to the social media platform on Nov. 1 to share her first photo as a couple with rumored love Rutherford amid her Halloween celebrations.
Eilish tucked a snapshot with Rutherford at the end of a spooky slideshow captioned “life is craaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy…happy halloween,” with a clown emoji followed by a jack-o-lantern and happy face surrounded by hearts. In the photo, Eilish is dressed as a baby with her blonde hair framing her face in ringlets, while Rutherford transformed himself into an elderly man, possibly making reference to the pair’s 11-year age gap.
Prior to Saturday’s LACMA event, Eilish shared a passionate plea encouraging her fans to vote in the upcoming election on Tuesday (Nov. 8).
“I want to explain why I am voting this year and how important I think it is you for vote to,” she said in a video post on Instagram. “Our rights, our freedoms, and our futures are on the line, and if we don’t show up, there is a good chance we will see a national ban on abortion, with no exceptions.”
On Nov. 8, Eilish will take part in the 2022 #iVoted Festival, with the Election Day webcast also featuring performances by Run the Jewels, CNCO, Rise Against, The Revivalists, OK Go, Lake Street Dive and more than 400 other artists.
