The Met Gala, an annual fashion celebration takes place in New York as a fundraising gathering for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. Over the years it has attracted so much glamour from within and without the borders of Hollywood, everyone who is anyone makes their attendance with great Ă©lan.
This year’s theme at the Met Gala is going to be Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology. Sounds pretty interesting but difficult to put together. We expect the path-breakers of fashion including Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna and the whole Swift Squad to shine bright at the red carpet.
The Gala has their theme for the evening every year – from Punk fashion to Chinese couture. We take a look back at Fashion Flashback – Best Looks From The Met Gala, before tonight’s spectacular show.
Sri Lankan rapper, MIA really does know how to stand out. Seen here in an Alexander Wang leather jumpsuit at the Gala in 2010, she stole she show in perfect MIA style.
Sex And The City star, Sarah Jessica Parker lived up to her Carrie Bradshaw fetish for fashion when she wore a fitting tribute to the late Oscar de la Renta, with an impressive train that bore the fashion legend’s signature.
The fashion list is never complete without the supermodel Hadid sisters. Bella Hadid sparkled at the 2015 edition of the Met Gala in a short dress from Topshop. It was refreshing to find her showing some leg in a sea of gowns.
The 2013 Met Gala theme was Punk, Chaos and Couture and the star who did it best was none other than Miley Cyrus. She donned a fishnet dress by Marc Jacobs, complete with a bold red lip and spiked hair. Wow.
When the theme of the night was Chinese themed, Zendaya did not disappoint. The former Disney star glimmered on the red carpet in this Fausto Puglisi number in 2015.
When it comes to Queen Bey, you need a 360 turn of events – here she is looking FLAWLESS AF in Givenchy Haute Couture. This is a look that will go down the ages.
The princess-in-waiting, Rihanna, came with her A-game at the 2015 Met Gala’s “China: Through The Looking Glass” in this stunning Guo Pei yellow dress with a train that had to be dragged by 3 people.
