Kim showed up dripping in gold sequins, rocking a Gucci gown that hugged her curves like it owed her rent. But, plot twist - the hair! Fans were not having it. One said, “All that glam and your hair ruins it?” Oof. And those giant platform shoes? Apparently not made for walking.
Emma Chamberlain’s Dishwasher-Ready Style?
Emma’s red and silver combo was kinda cool, but those bright yellow opera gloves? Some felt she was just trying too hard, or maybe ready for dish duty instead of a party. Bold move!

Emilie Livingston’s "Wait, Are Those Pants?" Look
Emilie and Jeff Goldblum brought the black-on-black vibes, but Emilie’s glittery leotard with semi-sheer tights? Fans were confused. One commenter straight up asked, “Why are her… booty cheeks out?” Yep, fashion mystery of the night.
Anya Taylor-Joy’s Shorts Situation

These two TV stars showed up matching in sheer tops and fancy jewelry, but fans were less than thrilled. One called them “two clowns,” another begged, “Will men ever be men again?” Yikes.

Julia went full avant-garde with a black and white gown and - wait for it - completely bleached eyebrows. Fans felt she looked like she was trying to party incognito, but ended up more alien than fabulous.
Lizzo’s Madame Tussaud Moment

Odessa A’zion's Tiger Tale
Odessa went big with a tiger-print corset, crazy fringe shoulders, and a patchwork skirt that screamed "look at me!" Some fans called it ridiculous, but hey - at least she tried!
Rita Ora’s Feather Hat Fiasco
Rita’s dress was fancy with embroidery, satin, and a giant bow, but the massive feather hat? So big that she had to ditch it inside because no one could see around it. Fashion wins and party fails.
Suki & Robert’s Outfit Contrast
Suki stunned in a gold and silk combo straight from Paris couture, while Robert just reused his classic black tux. Fans loved Robert's look but weren’t feeling Suki’s revealing top. A style mismatch?
Dua Lipa’s Gold Waterfall Gown

Quenlin Blackwell’s Flower Power
Quenlin was all smiles in a flowery white Chanel dress, covered in 3D blossoms. As co-host of the livestream, she was charming, but some thought her dress was a bit much.
Tracee Ellis Ross’s Cloud Disaster
Tracee went for monochrome with a black turtleneck and a puffy white bubble skirt meant to look like clouds. Fans? Not impressed. One called it a “disaster as usual.” Harsh much?
Kris Jenner’s Ballroom Drama
Kris wore a black tulle ballgown straight from 1995, looking elegant but maybe a bit old school. Big ruffles and big drama, but some felt it was time to mix it up.
