It is one of the biggest fashion events of the year but not every star hit the mark with their fashion choice. Here we look a the best and worst dressed at this year’s Met Gala in New York.

Solange’s outfit was compared to “cupcake holders” or “a decorative napkin” by some observers. Her lemon yellow-coloured costume was interpreted by some as a tribute to her sister Beyonce’s new album Lemonade.
