7 celebrity looks from the Met Gala that missed the mark — sorry

In a sea of gowns covered in floral motifs, Doja Cat stood out in her white T-shirt dress designed by Vetements that was drenched in hair gel. The singer completed the look with mascara dripping down her face.

On the red carpet, Doja Cat told Entertainment Tonight that she chose her look because she figured many guests would be interpreting the garden theme literally.

"I know that people are going to do flowers, but my flower of choice is the most-used flower. And it's cotton," Doja Cat said. "I wanted to do a white T-shirt, also because a white T-shirt is timeless."

Some fans pointed out on social media that cotton, even though it's harvested from Gossypium flowers, is a plant.

Style expectations are slightly higher for Met Gala co-chairs, which is why Hemsworth's monochrome Tom Ford suit felt a bit like a letdown.

Unlike Hemsworth's fellow co-chairs, Zendaya and Bad Bunny, the "Thor" star's ensemble didn't make an obvious reference to the event's theme.

Any nod to fairytale or garden motifs — perhaps with something as simple as floral appliques — might've helped elevate the look.

Saldańa wore a camel-colored semi-sheer Chloé dress that screamed boho. She paired it with glossy brown boots and accessorized with a gold belt with the name of the fashion house.

The "Avatar" star looked chic, but the ensemble felt a little too casual for fashion's biggest night. If this were a roundup of the best looks celebrities wore to a music festival like Coachella, for example, she would make the list.

Ora wore a Tom Ford dress made out of a cascading assortment of colorful beads that she told Vogue date back to the first and second century BC.

The age of the beads spoke to the time element of the evening's theme, which Ora should get credit for.

But the combination of the wet hair look, and the noticeable nude-colored bodysuit worn beneath the beaded dress felt jarring. Keeping her hair simple and adding more beads to create a fully-formed dress would've helped Ora hit the mark.

Surprisingly, Ford did not wear an outfit from his eponymous brand. Instead, his tuxedo is by Anthony Vaccarello of Saint Laurent.

While Ford deserves praise for not donning a classic — but boring — black suit, it would have been nice to see the designer give a more obvious nod to the theme of the night.

Wearing an archival look or incorporating references to the passage of time or gardens would've helped.

The British model wore a Stella McCartney ensemble with a high-waisted ivory skirt and a sparkly hooded top made from lab-grown diamonds.

She looked ethereal, but the look, reminiscent of a high-fashion Templar knight, felt more fitting for the 2018 Met Gala, whose theme was "Heavenly Bodies."

The "Rush" singer wore a Prada ensemble inspired by a look from the brand's 2008 fall menswear collection, which spoke to the "Reawakening Fashion" part of the theme.

But the baby blue-and-black color palette felt underwhelming and safe for Sivan, who usually isn't shy about taking fashion risks on the red carpet.

Like others on this list, he could've incorporated a brighter hue or floral motifs to reinvent the iconic Prada look in a more memorable way.
