By request, I’ve decided to recreate one of my most popular posts of last year: quick and dirty reviews of Met Ball looks. This year, I’m using the Cut’s slideshow (which is not to say I didn’t use it last year––I genuinely don’t remember) and I have to say, I HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH YOU PEOPLE:

2. Taylor Swift: Dancing with the Stars prom-themed reunion show
3. Lupita Nyong’o: so many feelings
4. Kim and Kanye: boring, as always

21. Donatella Versace: Hard to look away from that face
22. Nicole Richie: I know I should hate this more than I do, but it reminds me of 8th grade
