Met Gala's Worst Dressed: Rivers' Brutal Honesty
5 May
Summary
- Melissa Rivers critiqued celebrity fashion at the Met Gala.
- Janelle Monáe's nature-inspired couture was called 'arts and crafts'.
- Sam Smith's crystal-covered look was compared to the 'Geisha of Death'.

Melissa Rivers, known for her sharp fashion commentary, exclusively shared her least favorite looks from the recent Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The former Fashion Police host did not hold back when discussing celebrity attire at the star-studded event. One of the most striking critiques was aimed at Janelle Monáe's unique Christian Siriano creation, which Rivers described as resembling 'arts and crafts' and a concept beyond her comprehension.
Further down Rivers' list was Sam Smith, whose custom Christian Cowan outfit, adorned with over 230,000 crystals, was unflatteringly compared to the 'Geisha of Death.' Heidi Klum's elaborate, statue-like ensemble also drew comment, with Rivers humorously suggesting it was suitable for her own Halloween party. Lena Dunham's sequined Valentino gown and Katy Perry's Stella McCartney dress also received negative reviews, with Rivers noting Dunham’s dress’s impracticality for shorter individuals and Perry's train resembling a 'burnt' heat shield from a space trip.
Fans eager for more of Rivers' fashion breakdowns can tune into an upcoming episode of her "Melissa Rivers Group Text" podcast, where she promises to dissect additional Met Gala looks.
