From floral wreaths to spiky crowns to beaded hoods to halos, headpieces were the favored accessory of the evening. They’re so crown; bow down, bitches.

AMBER HEARD
gown by Carolina Herrera

Amber wins the top spot mostly because her crown cost 32 dollars and looks like a million bucks. That is a game I can respect.

MINDY KALING
gown by Vassilis Zoulias

I swear, one look at that crown and I peed a little.

NICKI MINAJ
gown by Oscar de la Renta, bracelets and rings by Tiffany & Co.

She looks fucking stupendous. She also already did the Catholic theme at the 2012 Grammys, before it was cool, so A+ to Nicki for being ahead of the game.

SZA
gown by Atelier Versace

Sza gave us weeping madonna realness, and I am grateful for it.

OLIVIA MUNN
gown by H&M, jewelry by Ofira

The gold chainmail hood is a delight. And boy, did twitter have a TON of fun with the journalist who tweeted that Olivia’s look was “inspired by her love of the Crusades.” It’s really that kind of tone-deaf nonsense that make for the best Met Gala memes, isn’t it?

ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY
gown and headpiece by Ralph Lauren, shoes by Jimmy Choo

HAILEE STEINFELD
gown by Prabal Gurung, headpiece by Tasaki, shoes by Jimmy Choo

This is cute! I could use the tinsel trim and the platforms, but from the waist up, she’s pretty much killing it.

JULIETTE BINOCHE
gown by Balmain

Juliette aimed for medieval Catholic draping with a pinch of solid gold disco, and honestly, I think she hit the mark.

WINNIE HARLOW
jewelry by Bulgari

It was Winnie’s first Met Gala, and I’ll give her points for effort. And not just the physical effort it takes to hold up that giant fucking hat all night.

 

ANNE HATHAWAY
gown by Valentino

Personally, I think she could have taken things further. And I’m not sure the fit of this dress made any consideration for her actual body. But, spiky crowns are fun and on-theme, so, I’ll take it!

KATE UPTON
gown by Zac Posen, jewelry by Stephen Russell, shoes by Alexandre Birman

A hood AND a bejeweled crown? Isn’t that double-dipping? Also, I would like to steal those shoes and wear them every day.

YARA SHAHIDI
dress by Chanel, shoes by Christian Louboutin

A rare mis-step from a starlet who usually pulls out all the stops.

RITA ORA
gown by Prada

Killer crown, but the rest of the look belongs on a different red carpet. And the yellow purse is extremely distracting.

SIENNA MILLER
top and skirt by Louis Vuitton, headpiece by Fred Leighton, purse by Jimmy Choo

This has nothing going on south of the star-spangled tiaras that interests me.

DOUTZEN KROES
gown by Sies Marjan, shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti

I’ll be honest, this was supposed to go in the Underwhelming Models post, but it somehow snuck into this draft. Now, Doutzen does technically seem to have some amount of fabric on her head, so we can pretend she belongs here, but just know that my true reaction to this is #underwhelmed.

HAILEY BALDWIN
gown by Tommy Hilfiger, jewelry by Tiffany & Co., shoes by Jimmy Choo

Lady Bird called, and even she doesn’t want that hair back.
