Top 10 Met Gala Looks Till Now
10. Naomi Campbell (1995)
Naomi Campbell dazzled in a shimmering silver Versace gown at the 1995 Met Gala, her radiant skin glowing as if the moon itself had descended onto the red carpet.
9. Princess Diana (1996)
Princess Diana epitomized elegance at the 1996 Met Gala in a deep-blue Dior satin slip dress, complete with a plunging neckline and delicate lace detailing, crowned by her iconic sapphire necklace. The matching blue sapphire necklace was just the right accessory for her dress.
8. Amber Valletta (2004)
Amber’s golden corset contrasting with layers of her printed skirt has to be one of the most iconic 2004 Met Gala looks. Her beautiful blonde hair in a grand updo and long gold earrings were the cherry on top.
7. Beyoncé (2016)
Beyoncé set the trend for latex dresses at the 2016 Met Gala, her pale-peach Givenchy creation with puffed shoulders and crystal embellishments cementing her status as a fashion icon.
6. Cara Delevingne (2017)
Cara Delevingne and Chanel were a match made in heaven for the 2017 Met Gala as she styled a Chanel pantsuit with metallic detailing along with her bold hairstyle and silver stilettos.
5. Ariana Grande (2018)
Doing complete justice to the Catholic theme, Ariana Grande styled a Sistine Chapel-themed gown by Vera Wang. The classic Ariana-style ponytail with a huge bow at the top made the whole look ‘heavenly’!
4. Jared Leto (2019)
Alessandro Michele redefined creativity at the 2019 Met Gala when Jared Leto took to the red carpet carrying a 3D replica of his head—an unforgettable moment in Met Gala history. The crystal detailing on his red gown made him look like a royal prince on a hunt.
3. Blake Lively (2022)
Blake’s outfit matches the Met Gala carpet ALWAYS! The same was the case when she wore the ever-iconic Versace gown with its rose-gold trail that opened up to be teal-colored, just like the Statue of Liberty.
2. Kim Kardashian (2022)
2022 was the year of the most unforgettable Met Gala looks and joining this list was Kim Kardashian wearing a Jean Louis dress that Marilyn Monroe wore herself while singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to then-President Kennedy.
1. Doja Cat (2023)
Paying tribute to Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette in the best way was Doja Cat who dressed up as a cat in an Oscar de la Renta dress. The prosthetic makeup and Doja’s reply “Meow” to all the questions was truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment!
Year after year, the Met Gala continues to be the pinnacle of fashion, where daring creativity and bold statements leave an indelible mark on the world of style. Even if some looks do not follow the theme, they manage to garner attention by just their presence at the Met’s star-studded carpet.
