Ranking the Brits who attended the Met Gala by how hard their outfits slayed
Michaela Coel ate and left no crumbs
Lydia Spencer-ElliottEveryone knows the best part of the Met Gala is judging celebrities’ haute couture while sat on your sofa in pyjamas you bought from Primark in 2011. And this year, plenty of Brits showed up to the (some may argue overly pretentious) fundraising benefit at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. No Harry Styles, though. Sob.
Still, Rita Ora, Dua Lipa, Daisy Edgar Jones— loads of our national treasures showed up and showed out. So, here’s a definitive ranking of the Brits who attended the 2023 Met Gala, based on how hard their outfits slayed:

I hate this hat, I’m sorry. It’s like a perpendicular dart board.
15. James McAvoy

It’s giving slutty grandad, which makes me feel intensely confused.
14. Cara Delevingne

There had to have been a better layering option than leather leg warmers.
13. Jonathan Bailey

A little bit Burton. Hate the shades in the night time.
12. Emily Blunt

50 per cent slay. But her Devil Wears Prada character would have done better.
11. Suki Waterhouse

I get the fairy core trend but it’s giving wedding guest in the home counties. Rob is also there.
10. Lily James

Very Dr. Martens and a ciggie for lunch in Berlin energy.
9. Skepta

Possibly the chicest look of the night. Vera Wang slay.
4. Dua Lipa

If Chanel did Disney princesses, this would be her look. Claudia Schiffer modelled this bridal dress in the 90s. Iconic.
3. Rita Ora

I audibly gasped when I realised this was Rita Ora. Big Beyoncé energy.
2. Daisy Edgar-Jones

The right amount of dazzle. A balance of sexy and chic. Chefs kiss for Daisy Edgar Jones.
1. Michaela Coel

And, finally, the Met Gala’s co-chair, Michaela Coel, looking nothing short of regal. Wowing, bowing. Can’t get enough.
