Fans are trashing Amelia Hamlin's Met Gala look, with one calling it "Amazon Prime" and another saying she "gave nothing but boring." The model attended the star-studded event in New York City on Monday evening, wearing a black, lacy, braless dress that showed off her figure but failed to impress many online. Critics also targeted Lauren Sanchez's outfit, with one fan suggesting she had shopped for her dress on Temu, according to The Blast.

Amelia wore a one-shouldered YSL gown with thin straps, a dramatic train, and slight side cut-outs. The Alo Yoga promoter's dress featured rich silk and lace, going slightly sheer below the waist and flashing her gym-toned legs. A black flower detail near one shoulder and hanging feathery details around her waist added a deconstructed finish, while her jet-black hair, dark eye makeup, and neutral facial expressions completed the goth-inspired look.

"3rd times a charm..thank you for making all of my siren mermaid met dreams come true, so beyond grateful omg whatttttttt!!!!!!!!" she captioned her Instagram post. The reaction was swift. "Amelia, the queen that you are, and you gave nothing but boring with this look I’m sorry," one user wrote. Another added, "Why is everyone so basic since COVID. I don’t get it."

Fans Compare Dress to Amazon Prime

"Congratulations for going to the Amazon Prime gala…. Unfollow her," a further critic wrote. The 2026 Met Gala theme was "Costume Art" with a "Fashion is Art" dress code. The event drew stars including Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Nicole Kidman, and Bad Bunny. Not all feedback was harsh, however. "You’re just so angelic beautiful," one fan wrote with black heart emojis, and Amelia's mother, former Bravo star Lisa Rinna, called her "GORGEOUS."

Flashback to 2023 CFDA Look

A photo from 2023 shows Amelia in a different style—a skintight, braless baby-blue dress by Alaïa, worn to the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City. The sheer gown revealed a visible pair of turquoise underwear briefs beneath.
