"Sesame Street" is turning 50. To avoid a fashion 911, the crew called on InStyle to dress them in some stylish looks.

To get all of the Muppets looking their very best, InStyle worked with big-name fashion designers to dress many of our favorite childhood characters in street style-ready outfits.

In the video below, the gang gathers together to open an invite to the show's 50th birthday party with a note to dress to impress. Afterward, they head over to InStyle's office to see editor-in-chief Laura Brown and the staff jumps in to help.

Read on to see how exquisitely each look came together.
