As you may or may not know, the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala was last night. The theme was Superhero Fashion -- and while there weren't so many heroic allusions, there were some super fashions. A gallery of our favorites, below.

Amber Valetta. When you go to the Met Costume Institute Gala, you should always wear something like this. Interesting, original, and perfectly designed to suit your color and style.

And now, of course, the fun part: the least favorites, and yet always the most entertaining.

Kimora Lee Simmons, in a dress that she said she helped design. We're not sure she should admit that. We're also not sure she should so closely resemble a pinata on Cinco de Mayo.

For a couple who have been running around NYC bundled in scarves, heavy jackets, jeans and boots and appearing almost uni-sex, Giselle Bunchen and Tom Brady certainly branched out. All this winter, Giselle has played the shy damsel, loping behind Tom with her hand held tightly in his. At times she hid her face behind turtle necks or her long hair. I realize it was cold on those streets this winter, but Giselle's bosom popping dress was an astounding change. Not too sure about Tom's new slick hair style. They are a striking couple though.

Karl was once quoted to have said, "I wear sunglasses to prevent the chemicals being drawn to my face."
That always makes me laugh.

Bee Schaffer. The most stunning dr4ss in the place - hands down.

I totally agree. She brings Grace Kelly back to a really glum haute Coutoure world.

It strikes me though, that whoever wrote this article is as brain-damaged as most of the fashion world. I cannot honestly tell the difference between their favorites and least favorites list.

I personally thought Claudia Schiffer, Giselle Buendchen, and Sara Larson, together with Bee Schaffer were gorgeous. The rest of them looked appalling. The fact that huffpo continues to try to put something over on the American woman by totally carpiciously declaring style vs lack thereof is just infuriating.

How about letting one of us do it? I would be willing to bet that just about anyone off the street could do no worse.

I'm not sure if even Michael would be caught dead in that outfit. Where was his mind when he put that on? There are so many questions to ask and so little time to do it. My first reaction were two fold. One - WTF is that? and two-WTF was he thinking? Just a thought.

Methinks Karl Lagerfeld shouldn't try to dress himself anymore.

Wow. How shallow and superficial can you be? You need to get out of your kennel more.

How you put Posen in the Best list leaves you vulnerable to charges of insanity... Try again..

Kimora Lee Simmons is so tacky, my eyelids are sticking just looking at her. It's no wonder her Baby Phat atrocities end up crumpled-up in the 75% off clearance bins at the mall.

..instead they get confused...the lord has grace beyond limits with balance of nature ,there is never a competitor except the ones who will fear account....he's an artist! there is a revolution for the entire world to wear , life like aladin ,cat suits and over coats ,stuff that is practical..new food too the ginny bought that in too,fresh platters flying in... Energy and the western Arabs need to come out of the holes to face let live..the press that raced hindu's millions to rape the locks and jews million found the militarys to bleed...the loaninbg and aid is over 'completely outclassed by the stocks manufacture-ing and marketting...............all hi class!


Best of luck Karl..Dont loose heart..................................

The dress Kimora has is kind of visionary stuff ,although the GIF result touch is worth a compliment .since 1947 when Christian Dior came in with designs the designer stuff is now more popular than buying stocks ,rationalised as 60/40 the kind of popularity the British Royalty enjoys .............................................but that is it ,beyond the visionary stuff is technology to help ,the state of ladies wear should be 'sensational' .............................................lets see the Lahori's must be building biceps to take the world on ground for the three hundred years of government that has settled around globalisation only.......................................................................................fashion passion and ration are the bigger play than oil steel and food....once there is a settlement lot of political parties will get kicked out from capitols because of the new marketting and formulas...the italian official treason will end too ,because real families must move in.......its no use crying over splilt milk.... .because the three couldnt be defined at all to the consumer except that constant need for gasoline corrupted public and they dont treat it like lemonade or cat food

Fun slide shows! Many thanks.

It is rather surprising the number of unflattering gowns. Would have linked designer names, especially on that horrid Wintour number. Looks much like a Project Runway loser.
