Spring is in the air, and we're ready to round up the best and worst fashion from the month of May! From Met Gala disasters to perfect street style moments to Cannes couture, keep reading to see them all…
Yikes! Irina Shayk's look at the "Firebrand" premiere during the Cannes Film Festival on May 21 left a lot to be desired…. like a top half. The Mowalola design included a barely-there crossover crop top paired with an insanely low-waisted black-and-red skirt for a head-scratching combination that felt way too tacky for the film festival.

We were majorly underwhelmed by the Zac Posen gown Gigi Hadid wore to the Cannes Film Festival premiere of "Firebrand" on May 21. From the drab shade to the wrinkly skirt and strange structural details at the hips, there wasn't really any element we warmed to. Despite the disappointing dress, the beauty did turn things up a notch with her jewels…

Hailey Bieber stepped out in New York City on May 10 with hubby Justin Bieber looking ready for the runway… which was fitting, as her Brandon Maxwell ensemble was plucked from the designer's runway. The star added Gia Borghini boots to her edgy, chic leather bralette and high-waisted skirt combination. And while we're not sure leather is the most wearable fabric as we head into warmer weather, we'd still give this street style moment an A+. Next up? A take on leather we didn't love…

Dixie D'Amelio attended the launch of her family's D'Amelio Footwear in Los Angeles on May 18 in a variation of Hailey Bieber's look. Unfortunately, this variety — a strapless bralette and low-slung maxiskirt — wasn't a hit in our books.
_
Taylor Swift gave us some great summer fashion inspo while stepping out in New York City on May 22. The superstar rocked a crisp white button-down with black cutoffs from R13 then added brown A.Emery sandals and a Ralph Lauren shoulder bag to complete her cool and casual look.
_
Jennifer Lawrence dazzled in Dior Haute Couture at the "Anatomie d'une Chute" premiere during the Cannes Film Festival in France on May 21. From the thin straps and the fitted waist to the full skirt and the matching wrap she sported around her arms, the ruby red shade and dreamy silhouette made this one of our all-time favorite looks on the A-lister. But when she lifted her gown, we were all in for quite a surprise…
_
Jennifer Lawrence sported black flip-flops underneath her stunning red Dior dress… a major fashion faux pas!
_
Since this was worn to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch in New York City on May 18, we'll give it a pass, but on every other red carpet, this daring LaQuan Smith pick would be a miss. Cover girl Megan Fox rocked the mostly sheer slinky black gown that featured a dangerously low scoop neckline and sheer paneling down the stomach and sleeves — showing almost as much as the bikinis in the issue.
_
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wowed in Valentino at the "Club Zero" premiere during the Cannes Film Festival on May 22, selecting this dreamy black-and-white design. The asymmetrical dress included one long sleeve and one sleeveless side and a massive romantic white bow affixed to the hip. A knee-high slit on that same side showed off her pointy-toe pumps. Let's get a better view of this one…
_
Absolutely stunning! We adored this look, which adhered to the trend of showing some skin on Cannes red carpets while also remaining covered up. The dual slits held in place by the sweet white bow was the perfect touch to complete this memorable fashion moment on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
_
Zendaya's look at the Bulgari Mediterranea High Jewelry event in Venice, Italy, on May 16 needed to be phenomenal… but not detract from the stunning jewels she was wearing around her neck. This custom Richard Quinn gown did not disappoint: The off-the-shoulder, glam black confection served as the perfect canvas to complement a diamond-studded serpent necklace. Now we've got to get a better look at that necklace…
_
Zendaya was rocking Bulgari at the jewelry designer's event in Venice, Italy — a stunning serpent necklace plus diamond solitaires in her ears.
_
Naomi Campbell matched the red carpet — while also infusing a dash of pink via a wispy cape — at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of "Killers of the Flower Moon" on May 20. The Valentino look, which included a stunning cherry red ballgown with cutouts down the bodice, became an instant favorite at the film festival. Next up? A closer look at the detailing… and the jewels she added!
_
Naomi Campbell's stunning Valentino gown was elevated even further by a diamond necklace that sat atop her cape for a seriously regal red carpet moment.
_
Sydney Sweeney rocked a daring Schiaparelli design at a screening of "Reality" in New York City on May 16. Her black strapless frock included strategically placed ruffles alternated with sheer paneling. While this look theoretically shouldn't have worked off the runway, the blonde beauty managed to pull it off, pairing it with artfully messy waves.
_
The Cannes Film Festival oozes glamour, so we were delighted when Viola Davis took the opportunity to truly dress for the occasion. The movie star arrived at the "Monster" premiere on May 17 in this stunning Valentino creation that included a sleek one-shouldered gown topped with a silvery cape made of ostrich feathers. Let's see this one from another angle…
_
A queen! We adored Viola Davis's cape crafted from ostrich feathers.
_
Jessica Chastain arrived at the "Live with Kelly and Mark" studios in New York City on May 22 in this sweet sleeveless lacy white number. The movie star's frock included a belt detail and a frilly midi-length skirt that showed off her tan Christian Louboutin pumps.
_
Amal Clooney showed off polished chic at the international digital festival 4Gamechangers 2023 at Marx Halle Wien in Vienna, Austria, on May 17, arriving in this gray creation from Atelier Versace. We loved the twist on the jumpsuit — sleeveless with a low neckline complete with button details and a belted waist. Pointy-toe pumps from the designer rounded out this fashionable business-casual look.
_
We loved Sydney Sweeney's off-duty Cannes look on May 22 — a Celine crop top underneath a bright blue button-down paired with low-waisted baggy denim and white sneakers. Miu Miu sunglasses on top of her head rounded out this effortlessly cool getup.
_
Phoebe Waller-Bridge arrived at the "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" photocall during the Cannes Film Festival in France on May 18 in this summer-ready white ensemble from Dolce & Gabbana. This look — a tied blazer with rolled-up sleeves paired with a straight-legged pant — was technically vintage, with the style hailing from a 2001 collection redone as a Re-Edition. But our favorite element of the look came from the styling: We loved the decision to don a tiny bralette in lieu of a blouse underneath.
_
Skirts are really trending this spring, as exemplified by Elle Fanning. The fashionista attended an event for her Hulu series "The Great" in Los Angeles on May 10 in this unexpected but oddly perfect pairing — a gray tee paired with a bold green floral-print Valentino midi-length skirt. She accessorized the unlikely color palette with even more surprising but delightful picks: pale pink satin Valentino pumps and a sweet matching headband.
_
Alexandra Daddario also embraced the skirt trend. The beauty sported this charcoal floor-length design with a black turtleneck for a subdued, simple look at an InStyle event in Los Angeles on May 10.
_
We usually love a Sarah Paulson couture moment, but her look at Apple TV+'s event for "Platonic" in Los Angeles on May 10 fell flat. The bold patterned top would have been fine on its own — as would those impressively baggy pants — but together, this combo was a miss.

Priyanka Chopra made a romantic statement at a screening of her film "Love Again" in New York City on May 3, arriving in this dreamy baby blue Nina Ricci number. From the ruching on the bodice of the off-the-shoulder confection to the way the skirt exploded at the knee, everything about this dazzling dress was over-the-top and fabulous. Next up? A look at our favorite detail…
_
Look at that bow! Priyanka Chopra's Nina Ricci design included an oversized bow at the back. Our only complaint about this look? The way she styled it! We'll see that better next…
_
Priyanka Chopra left a lot to be desired in the accessory department. She selected pretty underwhelming jewels for her Nina Ricci design — gold hoops and a simple necklace.
_
We adored how Melissa McCarthy opted for a real under-the-sea shade — a stunning deep blue — for the Taller Marmo gown she wore to the world premiere of Disney's live-action "The Little Mermaid" in Hollywood on May 8, but her styling lost us. Those gloves ruined an otherwise exceptional look — check out those shoes! — and gave things a costume feel.
_
Best dressed at the Met Gala? We would give that prestigious honor to Dua Lipa, who dove into the Chanel archives for her 2023 Met Gala look on May 1. The phenomenal 1992 white-and-black tweed ballgown epitomized classic Chanel staples while the silhouette allowed for a regal moment. And her jewels took the look even further…
_
Dua Lipa couldn't just pair her vintage Chanel gown with any old Tiffany & Co. piece –so she rocked a diamond that weighed more than 100 carats. Called the Legendary diamond, the massive stone was set amongst even more diamonds on the Lucida Star necklace. It's meant to pay tribute to the famous yellow Tiffany diamond with a similar cushion cut.
_
Stunning in Celine! "The Great" star Elle Fanning epitomized the title of her show at a screening for its third season in Los Angeles on May 11, sporting this sparkly, slinky creation. The spaghetti-strap gown with a plunging neckline evoked serious regal glamour and her slicked-back updo served as the perfect complement.
_
Kristen Stewart really let us down at the Met Gala on May 1, arriving in a messy black-and-white Chanel suit comprised of a cropped tuxedo shirt, baggy black trousers, a bolero jacket and a Chanel logo belt. Black-and-white loafers from the brand finished off this disappointing look.
_
Kristen Stewart certainly improved upon her Met Gala appearance at the Chanel show in Los Angeles on May 9. The beauty opted for a tweed pantsuit and a white tee for a simple yet bold moment. A chunky necklace and boots completed the ensemble well.
_
Zebra print is underrated! Laura Harrier proved this at the "White Men Can't Jump" premiere in Los Angeles on May 11, arriving in this slinky Saint Laurent number. We loved seeing the pattern on rich purple velvet fabric and those delicate spaghetti straps, which combined to make this one of our favorite gowns of the month.
_
Well, we'll give her credit for one thing: Jennifer Lopez certainly stayed on theme because this look is definitely partially matronly. The superstar attended the premiere of her film "The Mother" in Los Angeles on May 10 in this puzzling Brunello Cucinelli ensemble comprised of a floor-length coat and high-waisted skirt paired with a tiny bralette top all in the same beige shade. While we appreciate the contrast between the sparse and ample fabric choices, we couldn't get behind this odd combo.
_
Thanks to Anne Hathaway, we now know what a Karl Lagerfeld and Versace collaboration would look like. The star wore this design to the 2023 Met Gala on May 1 — Versace's take on the late iconic designer's legacy. The result? A stunning white gown that combined the classic tweed of Chanel with quintessential Versace elements like safety pins and a thigh-high slit.
_
Sometimes in fashion, "the simpler the better" is a good rule to follow. Emily Ratajkowski proved this while stepping out in New York City on May 11 in this easy combo — a plain black minidress and white Vans sneakers. Chunky black shades and a red Maison Margiela purse rounded out her chic and simplistic look.
_
Emily Ratajkowski rocked those same Vans on May 10 with a much different result. This time, she sported the casual and accessible sneakers at a New York Knicks game in New York City on May 10. And though she still put together a casual, cool look, we weren't wild about those insanely baggy jeans she paired with a "Jennifer's Body" graphic tee and topped with a Knicks jacket.
_
Perfection! The tweed, the cape detail, the matching bag — we couldn't find a weak link in the Chanel look that Rashida Jones' wore to the fashion house's Los Angeles show on May 9. Tights and Mary Janes completed her perfectly polished ensemble.
_
Yikes! Lainey Wilson attended the 2023 ACM Awards on May 11 in this mess of a green ensemble, which appeared to be a wrap top gone wrong complete with cape-like sleeves. The confusing top was paired with otherwise great high-waisted trousers in the same pretty shade.
_
Recently minted style icon and newlywed Sofia Richie chose a sweet and subtly bridal design for the Chanel fashion show in Los Angeles on May 9 — this white short suit complete with a delicate pink feathered detail to infuse a little color. Our only gripe was the shoe selection: We just weren't wild about the two-toned sandals.
_
We weren't wild about Lily James' severe 2023 Met Gala look. The star's Tamara Ralph Couture ballgown paid homage to Karl Lagerfeld at the May 1 event by rocking one of the designer's favorite fabrics — leather. The nod was sweet, but we weren't crazy about this black dress. She also added blunt bangs and showed off a super-dark hair shade on fashion's biggest night.
_
Nicole Kidman surprised fashion watchers with a pantsuit at the 2023 ACM Awards on May 11. The star selected a dark red Chanel set complete with a tweed effect and pretty black and silver piping. Let's take a closer look…
_
Gorgeous! Nicole Kidman's pantsuit was more beautiful up close, where you could see the pretty piping and Chanel logo buttons.
_
MacKenzie Porter's blue sequined Balestra design stole the show on May 11 at the 2023 ACM Awards. The eye-catching electric blue jumpsuit, complete with a cape, was by far the most memorable look of the night.
_
Demi Lovato, is that you?! The singer opted for an uncharacteristically subdued ensemble at the Hollywood & Mind Summit in Los Angeles on May 11 — a straightforward black pantsuit paired with a white tee and platform boots in what seems to be the beginning of a new fashion era.
_
"Outer Banks" star Madison Bailey wowed in a purple Versace creation at an InStyle event in Los Angeles on May 10. We loved this strapless pick, which featured an all-over floral-print fabric and the fashion house's signature sky-high slit.
_
Olivia Wilde's Chloe look was inspired by a vintage piece created during Karl Lagerfeld's time at the fashion label in 1983… but unfortunately, it didn't translate well at the 2023 Met Gala on May 1. The strange gold violin-shaped detail down the center of the white gown paired with unnecessary arm cuffs felt more like armor than a unique music-inspired element.
_
Mary Steenburgen looked super spring-ready in this sweet sleeveless midi-length floral frock. The star stopped by the "Today" show in New York City on May 8 in the gorgeous green garb, adding white ankle boots for an extra infusion of spring fashion.
_
Karl Lagerfeld loved pearls, so we understand why Kim Kardashian wore this look to the 2023 Met Gala on May 1. The reality star donned a Schiaparelli design comprised of a tan corset and strategically layered strings of pearls with a gathered cape detail flowing behind her. Though we appreciated the sentiment, the largely ivory look fell flat.
_
We love a good logo moment, and Riley Keough served one up flawlessly at the Chanel fashion show in Los Angeles on May 9. Her purple, black and gray striped coordinates included plenty of Chanel logos as well as the fashion house's name spelled out in chunky letters in its signature font. Finishing off this stellar Chanel moment? Adorable round-toe pumps from the brand.
_
Jane Fonda looked great in green in this chic tailored pantsuit — complete with a tie at the waist — while stopping by the "Today" show in New York City on May 8. Chunky white loafers and a black braided-leather bag finished off this polished outfit.
