June is fast approaching, and I’m in denial about it. It’s time to distract myself from the speed of time with one of my favorite activities: judging celebrity outfits. And heads-up: A man snuck his way into the mix this go-around. Shocking, I know! From the Met Gala (ever heard of it?) to the Cannes Film Festival and its new dress code, Hollywood’s social calendar is heating up for the summer, which leaves us with a lot to look forward to. Ahead, see the best-dressed celebs of May.
