When it comes to historic red carpets. Fashion moments, there is no event bigger than the Met Gala. Since the first celebration of the costume exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1948, the soirée has been a place for celebrities, tastemakers, and designers to have fun with their personal style. Over the years, all the Met Gala outfits have taken the fashion industry by storm. Take Rihanna’s Guo Pei ensemble from 2015 or Cher’s regal look from the 1985 event, or Zendaya’s Cinderella moment circa 2019 — they were all unforgettable.
Creating these looks takes months of planning and close collaboration between celebrities, designers and stylists. Together, they have to create an outfit around the theme and make sure every detail is considered before the photo op. This year’s theme is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” with a dress code titled “The Garden of Time”, inspired by a 1962 short story by JG Ballard. That said, expect celebrities to be covered in more details like flowers, moss and gardens. From hairstyles to jewelry to even their underwear, no detail can be overlooked. The result of all their hard work? A dress that lives on long after the night is over.
