While everyone is bitching and moaning about Kim Kardashian's dress from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's gala for its PUNK: Chaos to Couture show, at least it was interesting. In fact, very few celebrity attendees got the look right (as it was predicted). Here are some of the most boring and disappointing looks from last night.
On the upside: Madonna and Anne Hathaway worked it. Miley Cyrus figured it out. January Jones and Elle Fanning committed to their looks with eye make-up. And at least Sarah Jessica Parker was brave enough to wear the headdress!
