School of Frock: Delevingne rules the Met Gala
As expected, Delevingne shut down the competition at this year's Met Gala held last week
CARA DELEVINGNE (A)
Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between Costume Institute Gala in New York City
Pantsuit: Chanel
The futuristic metallic silver suit is perfection on its own, but the matching painted-on "hair" takes it to another level of amazing.
Who knew a shaved head could look this good? Delevingne pulls off cyborg couture like a pro, and makes baldness beautiful.
RITA ORA (A-)

Gown: Marchesa
Ora comes in a close second, and the fact that she too eschews a traditional hairstyle is pure coincidence.
For someone who regularly commits faux pas, such an improvement is nothing short of a miracle. Wrapped up in oversized bows, the entire look is a gift that keeps on giving.
HELEN LASICHANH (C-)
Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between Costume Institute Gala in New York City
Jumpsuit: Comme des Garcons
I give Pharrell Williams' wife all the points in the world for having the nerve to commit to this fancy straightjacket-cum-sleeping bag, which probably comes with built-in adult diapers since she can't use her hands at all. Also, I'm just waiting for the rest of the Teletubbies to show up.
KATY PERRY (C-)
Marc Jacobs after party of the Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between Costume Institute Gala in New York City
Cape and bodysuit: Ulyana Sergeenko
After getting over the initial horror of that garter belt-girdle thing and the subsequent relief that she did not just flash her crotch at us, you can't help but find Perry's choice of after-party outfit hilariously bad.
Laugh it up, people.
SOFIA RICHIE (F)
Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between Costume Institute Gala in New York City
Gown: Topshop
On a night where celebrities let their freak flag fly, anything less than weird immediately relegates you to the bottom.
Totally disrespecting the theme, lazy bones Richie turned up in a deep V-neck metallic gown that's sloppy, mediocre, ill-fitting and instantly forgettable.
