The Best Met Gala Red Carpet Looks Of All Time

Guaranteed to make you look twice - by Maddison Urquhart
  • 04 May 2020
The Best Met Gala Red Carpet Looks Of All Time

If you're someone who appreciates the fine art of avant-garde fashion, then the first Monday in May is one you're unlikely to forget. That's right, fashions biggest night out is almost upon us and our anticipation is at an all-time high. Since 1971, the annual Met Gala has served as a playground for fashion's most formidable doyens and those of divine status. And every year without fail, celebrities, models and fashion connoisseurs flock to the steps of the New York Met for a night of star-studded decadence that many of us could only ever dream of.

Home to some of the most innovative and idiosyncratic ensembles imaginable, the annual Met Gala is the opportunity for Hollywood's elite to defy the sartorial boundaries and establish their reigning style on the red carpet. Who could ever forget Rihanna's Guo Pei creation or Kendall Jenner's La Perla naked dress? While we say goodbye to 'Heavenly Bodies' and await with anticipation to see what this year's Gala has in store, it only makes sense to reminisce about our favourite Met Gala looks of all time.
