The Met Gala Superlatives

Who wore the most daring gown? The most creative?

The Met Gala Superlatives
Rappler

I am going to be honest: I wait all year to see the wild array of "designer duds" that stars wear to "fashion's biggest night out" each year. This year's Met Gala was one of the most exciting and entertaining yet. If you need any evidence as to why this year was the best yet: Kendall Jenner's statement piece was a La Perla thong. For me, Kendall Jenner's bold ensemble takes the cake for best ensemble of the night. Choose for yourself who you think wins for best dressed: I compiled a list of the top looks and put them in to some high-school-like superlatives.

Best to Take Home to Mom


Hailey Baldwin looked like a ballerina. Dressed in Carolina Herrera, the star oozed elegance.

Most Daring

The Met Gala marked the second time Bella Hadid looked STUNNING and was able to walk past her ex (The Weekend), and remind him just what he is missing (the first was famously at the VS Fashion show, a few months back). She mostly has her insane bod and Alexander Wang catsuit to thank for that.

Most Inspirational

Cara Delevingne's outfit was not just beautiful--it was necessary. She used her silver-painted hair to talk about the issue with societal beauty norms. She took to Insta over the weekend to deliver some necessary words: "It's exhausting to be told what beauty should look like. I am tired of society defining beauty for us. Strip away the clothes, Wipe Off the make up, cut off the hair. Remove all the material possessions. Who are we? How are we defining beauty? What do we see as beautiful?

Most Unforgettable

Zoe Kravitz is everything in this Oscar De La Renta gown. Fun fact: the black roses that line the bust and sleeves of the dress are actually real red roses died to black.

Most Old-Hollywood Glam

Candice Swanepoel has been pretty much off the radar since giving birth to her adorable son Anacá, but she stepped back onto the social scene in true supermodel fashion.

Most Creative

I really don't know if we will ever see the day when the world is not waiting with baited breath for a coveted picture of the Olsen twins together. Or at least a day when fashion trends are not completely influenced by the pieces they wear.

Most Presidential

Karlie Kloss is a girl boss. She started her website "Kode with Klossy," back in 2014 when she was learning to code. The site "empowers girls to learn code and become leaders in tech." Dressed in a simple but powerful Carolina Herrera tuxedo dress, she wowed.

Most Original

Supermodel Lily Aldrige stunned in this custom Ralph Lauren Collection piece. The silk, delicate nature of the gown paired with her fiery Balenciaga thigh-highs make for an unexpected, but amazing combination.

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
