Pharrell Williams' wife Helen Lasichanh dressed to the Met Gala's theme in a Comme des Garçons look from Rei Kawakubo's Fall 2017 collection. Not even Helen's arms were visible in the bold choice, granting her our special honor for mastering modesty.

The popular Emmy winner kept it exceptionally elegant in a custom navy blue gown from Prada. Red and black feathers along Paulson's hemlines provided a lovely pop of color, and there's no denying the actress looked simply stunning.

Tracee continued dominating the red carpet in a royal blue frock by Comme des Garçons. The Black-ish star flaunted a little leg, but the oversized cape effect landed her on the more bundled up end of the spectrum.
