The Parade of Jerks/The Met Gala is tonight! Here is a look back on the worst people with the best outfits

The Met Gala is the most exclusive party in America and it was famously described by Tina Fey as a “jerk parade.” While everyone at the party is probably not THE WORST (I mean….one might be okay maybe. Maybe), most of them are big ~personalities~ with a lot of money and even more ego. 

The Met Gala 2023 theme will be an ode to the iconic designer, Karl Lagerfeld, who passed away a couple of years ago. Considering Lagerfeld once described Heidi Klum as being too fat to be a model, he is without a doubt a perfect mascot and theme for a party of sociopathic hypocrites. 

While we can’t wait to see how the body shaming, elitist, mercurial weirdo who designed beautiful clothes for Chanel and Fendi will be honored – here is a look back at some of the best, worst, and most controversial Met Gala looks through the years: 

Best: Blake Lively vibing the Statue of Liberty for “In America” in 2022 (Atelier Versace)
