*These results were generated from Instagram polls (@NSFreePress) and do not represent the opinion of every New School community member.

Nearly split on hostess, Anna Wintour, in Oscar de la Renta.

Frank Ocean in Prada VS. Shawn Mendez in Michael Kors.

Taylor Hill in Atelier Versace VS. Emily Blunt in Miu Miu.

New School alum Ella Emhoff in Stella McCartney VS. Karlie Kloss in custom Carolina Herrera. 

Justin and Hailey Bieber in Drew House and YSL, respectively, VS. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez in Ralph Lauren.  

The New School did not love either Kacey Musgraves in Ralph Lauren OR Olivia Rodrigo in YSL.

They also didn’t approve of the team Anna Wintour assembled to chair this year’s gala.

The New School felt AOC’s Brother Vellies “Tax The Rich” gown had a bigger impact than Kim Kardashian’s Demna Gvasalia Balenciaga look.

TNS preferred Pharrell Williams in sunglasses to Whoopi Goldberg in regular glasses.

Imaan Hammam in Versace VS. Anok Yai in Oscar de la Renta.

A clear preference for Emily Ratajkowski in Vera Wang over Lili Reinhart in custom Christian Siriano.

Kendall Jenner in Givenchy Haute Couture wins by a landslide over Suni Lee in Sukeina.

TNS was underwhelmed by Lily-Rose Depp’s Chanel look.

One thing TNS can get behind is a good train.

(Carey Mulligan in Valentino Couture and Megan Fox in Dundas.)

In a totally unsurprising fashion, Simone Biles wins in Area over Suni Lee in Sukeina.

(Suni Lee, however, recently won an Olympic gold medal.)

Met Gala Co-Chair Billie Eilish predictably slayed in Oscar de la Renta over Sienna Miller in Gucci.
