So many people in attendance of this year's Met Gala failed to commit to the theme of In America: A Lexicon of Fashion. Busy patterns do not necessarily equal good patterns! And neither does showing up as basic as they come. We have ranked the 40 worst looks of the night below.

40. Tessa Thompson

Yes, Tessa Thompson is gorgeous. That's a given, but the hat kills this dress which reminds us of a rosebud.


39. Kim Kardashian

Kim K's look would have received a better review if there was something more alluring to it besides her face being completely covered.


38. Anja Rubik

Of all the see-through numbers we've seen at the Met Gala, this is by far the worst. The shape does nothing for Anja Rubik and the bright teal looks tacky.


37. Jameel Mohammed

We absolutely love the concept of Jameel Mohammed's look, but there was too much of a lack of structure.


36. CL

The one downfall of CL's Met Gala look is the white briefs, making it look too much like a diaper. It kills an otherwise great concept.


35. Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber's attempt at fashion is quite laughable at this point. Promoting his Drew fashion house, he showed up in child-like sneakers, and his wide legged pants just make him look shorter.


34. Stephen Jones

The leather hat with holes in it looks something out of a horror movie. The charms don't make it any less creepy, either.


33. Karlie Kloss

Bigger isn't always better. Here, Karlie Kloss is being swallowed by her dress.


32. A$AP Rocky and Rihanna

GettyImages-1340176860.jpgDimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

After looking forward to what Rihanna was going to wear all night, we gotta say we're a bit disappointed in what she and her man A$AP Rocky came with. A$AP wore a beautiful and cozy-looking quilt, but we wouldn't call that fashion. Rihanna looks gorgeous as always, but we felt her look was mid.


31. Dr. Lisa Airan

We see the attempt Dr. Lisa Airan tried to make, but the end result doesn't flatter her shape and looks like she's lost in the fabric.


30. Kehlani

The Tin Man called, he wants his suit back, Kehlani.


29. Isabelle Huppert

GettyImages-1340178422.jpgMike Coppola/Getty Images

Bold doesn't always mean beautiful. This red dress with a huge poof at the bottom makes Isabelle Huppert look like a paintbrush.


28. Eva Chen

GettyImages-1340160464.jpgMike Coppola/Getty Images

We think Eva Chen's concept isn't horrible, but the cut of the dress does nothing for her.


27. Jordan Roth

GettyImages-1340131564.jpgDimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

Jordan Roth mosaic throw-up of an outfit would have been better with more toned down shoes and clothes underneath the cape.


26. Sudha Reddy

GettyImages-1340245626.jpgMike Coppola/Getty Images

Sudha Reddy looks like she took a whole flag or emblem and just tacked it on a dress. To add insult to injury, the whole thing is sparkly.


25. Jeremy Pope

We would have loved this if Jeremy Pope got rid of the train.


24. Jennifer Lopez

GettyImages-1340142720.jpgMike Coppola/Getty Images

Jennifer Lopez did a bit too much with her western Mad Max inspired look. The fur coat kills the whole thing, really.


23. Sunisa Lee

GettyImages-1340177080.jpgMike Coppola/Getty Images

The cut of this outfit on Sunisa Lee is very unflattering.


22. Kacey Musgraves

GettyImages-1340161933.jpgDimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

We are snoring at Kacey Musgraves' Met Gala look. It's just SO boring...


21. Sandy Schreier

GettyImages-1340176980.jpgDimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

Sandy Schreier literally looks like Beetlejuice..


20. Kristen Stewart

GettyImages-1340147798.jpgTheo Wargo/Getty Images

Kristen Stewart looks more of a disheveled Brit than an In America fashion look.


19. Regina King

GettyImages-1340149751.jpgTheo Wargo/Getty Images

Regina King looks like a powerful boss, but we don't think it's fierce enough for the Met.


18. MJ Rodriguez

GettyImages-1340133827.jpgTheo Wargo/Getty Images

The structure of MJ Rodriguez's outfit is just too much poof.


17. Jordan Alexander

GettyImages-1340174831.jpgDimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

Jordan Alexander (R) looks like a hot mess. The neon green piping on the nude corset and the light pink on the skirt ruin the look.


16. Leylah Fernandez

GettyImages-1340173718.jpgMike Coppola/Getty Images

Leylah Fernandez really just showed up in a black and white striped dress and called it a day. No effort whatsoever.


15. Tory Burch

GettyImages-1340171954.jpgDimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

We expected more from fashion designer Tory Burch than this boring dress.


14. Kid Cudi

GettyImages-1340151331.jpgTheo Wargo/Getty Images

Kid Cudi looks like The Joker.


13. Samantha Barry

GettyImages-1340167450.jpgMike Coppola/Getty Images

Another black and white puffy look, with an unflattering peplum top.


12. Storm Reid

GettyImages-1340165533.jpgTheo Wargo/Getty Images

Storm Reid looks like she took a trip back to 2010 in the worst way.


11. Chance the Rapper

GettyImages-1340130013.jpgDimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

Chance the Rapper looks like Street Racer.


10. Rosalía

GettyImages-1340148005.jpgDimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

These shoes and gloves on Rosalía makes her look like a lobster, or Him from Powerpuff Girls.


9. Cara Delevingne

GettyImages-1340149636.jpgTheo Wargo/Getty Images

Here's one way to make feminism a joke. Here, Cara Delevingne's bib-like shirt and "Peg the Patriarchy" slogan looks cheesy.


8. Eileen Gu

GettyImages-1340169372.jpgMike Coppola/Getty Images

Eileen Gu looks like a cake pop.


7. Marcus Samuelsson

GettyImages-1340170822.jpgDimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

Our eyes!! There's just too many clashing patterns on Marcus Samuelsson's look, it makes it hard to look for more than a few seconds.


6. Amandla Stenberg

GettyImages-1340161694.jpgMike Coppola/Getty Images

There is so much wrong with this look: the boots, the fuzz trim, the train, the corset-bustier, the pants and suspenders -- oh wait, that's the whole look.


5. Nia Dennis

GettyImages-1340120992.jpgTheo Wargo/Getty Images

Gymnast Nia Dennis is doing way too much, and should have opted for something that wasn't centered on gymnastics.


4. Serena Williams

GettyImages-1340160623.jpgMike Coppola/Getty Images

Serena Williams, what were you thinking? This massive pink-ombré feathery coat is horrendous, and what's underneath only makes it all look tackier.


3. Natalia Bryant

GettyImages-1340153625.jpgDimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

Natalia Bryant looks like a mixture between an Easter egg and a Christmas tree ornament.


2. Dan Levy

GettyImages-1340126987.jpgDimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

We actually really loved Dan Levy's attempt here, but the shoes are what killed this outfit.


1. Hillary Taymour and Kim Petras

GettyImages-1340134129.jpgDimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

Halloween came early for horse girls Hillary Taymour and Kim Petras. We're going to have nightmares about this now, thanks.
