With the endless list of celebrities that walk the Met Gala red carpet you can be sure that not everyone hits the mark. The biggest fashion event of the year brings out the most creative and original outfit choices you can imagine.

But that doesn’t always mean it will look good. These are just a few of the stars that didn’t quite hit the mark.

Erykah Badu split the internet with her white yeti style. The singer-songwriter wore a white wig completely covering her face and didn't even know where to look when she was being interviewed on the red carpet. The outfit was finished off with layers of silver necklaces and lots of silver rings,

There is late, then there is fashionably late, then there is Rihanna late. The singer kept everyone waiting for her big entrance so much so even Vogue's live stream of the event had finished.

All the extra time Rihanna had to get ready and after keeping everyone waiting for so long we expected a bit more for her outfit. The Barbadian songstress wore a plain white dress with oversized floral wrap design. Definitely not worth the wait - sorry Riri.

The usual glamourous Jennifer Lopez looked wore a custom made Ralph Lauren gown. The black material crossed over her chest and wrapped round her waist into a pale pink satin skirt. The revealing top part of the dress made the entire outfit look cheap. The actress/singer accessorised with black hat with face veil. Jennifer did say in an interview on the carpet that initially she wasn't sure about the hat.

Olivia Wilde looked stunning in custom white Chloe but the gold panel down the centre and matching cuffs just wasn't working for us.

Florence Pugh has recently stepped out on many red carpets looking elegant but on this occasion, she certainly raised a few eyebrows. The actress showcased a freshly shaved head with an extremely tall feathered headpiece.

Florence wore a white strapless gown with cut out front and large black bow detail by Valentino - not that anyone was looking at her dress.

Cara Delevingne was one of Karl Lagerfeld’s muses and a close friend of the models. For tonight's event Cara’s outfit was one of the most anticipated due to her close relationship with the designer and the show-stopping outfits she's worn to the Met over the years. But her outfit fell flat .

Cara wore a white shirt with a large cape that she flicked up for the cameras with black leggings and fingerless gloves. She coloured her hair a silver tone but this would have to be the worst outfit she has worn to the fundraiser.

Kate Moss attended with daughter Lila Grace but sadly both outfits disappointed. The supermodel looked as though she had just got up out of bed in a nude silk slip with lace trim and sheer material over her arms. Daughter Lila also wore a nude-coloured outfit. The model wore a fur dress with a deep V and midriff cut-out.
