This year's highly-anticipated Met Gala is a hot social media topic, and fans can't wait to see what their favorite stars will wear on the red carpet! The event will pay tribute to the late style icon Karl Lagerfeld, the German-born fashion designer known for his signature white hair, sunglasses, fingerless gloves, and detachable collars.

Many tonight will stun the audience with their incredible gowns and suits, but as we know, history repeats itself – meaning other celebs will probably leave us disappointed. Let's just hope the "worst" dressed of the decade learned their lesson!

Without further adieu, here are some of the best and worst Met Gala fits in the last 10 years.
