A Tribute To The Best Met Gala Looks Of All Time

The first Monday in May means, in the fashion world, the biggest topic of discussion on the agenda is the Met Gala. This year, attendees were tasked with flaunting their finest outfits inspired by the theme "Tailored For You," nodding to the new Costume Institute exhibition, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style."

As we enjoyed another evening of head-turning outfits strutting down the sartorial star-studded carpet, we couldn't help but recall some of the Met Gala’s most significant 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. Don’t worry, SJP and Alexander McQueen in matching tartan, Naomi Campbell in glittering Versace, and Tyla in Balmain as a sand sculpture that needed to be carried up the stairs 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.
