A Tribute To The Best Met Gala Looks Of All Time

The first Monday in May is almost here, and in the fashion world, that means the biggest topic of discussion on the agenda is the Met Gala. This year, attendees have been tasked with flaunting their finest outfits inspired by the theme "The Garden of Time," marking the opening of the Met Museum’s new exhibition, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."

As we prepare for the array of head-turning outfits coming our way on the star-studded red carpet, we can’t help but think about some of the Met Gala’s biggest fashion moments ever. So, we’re taking a trip down memory lane, revisiting some of our all-time favourite Met Gala looks, from Kate Moss’ Marc Jacobs golden mini dress circa 2009 to Cardi B’s regal Moschino gown from 2018, and even a look or two from last year’s controversial Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty theme. Don’t worry, SJP and Alexander McQueen in matching tartan, Naomi Campbell in glittering Versace, and Kim Kardashian in Thierry Mugler’s first original design in 20 years also made the cut. 

So prepare to be amazed by the ethereal looks and red carpet dresses that have garnered attention every year since the first Costume Institute Benefit in 1948. Click on for our list of the best Met Gala looks of all time.
