The Met Gala is an annual fundraising gala held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art‘s Costume Institute in New York City. It is popularly regarded as the world’s most prestigious fashion event, and an invitation is highly sought after.
Celebrities from various professional spheres, such as fashion, film, television, theatre, music, business, sports, and politics, are invited to the gala, organized by American fashion magazine – Vogue.
The gala is held annually on the first Monday of May. It marks the opening of the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibit on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Each year’s event celebrates the specific theme of that year’s Costume Institute exhibition, which sets the tone for the attire of the night.
Guests are expected to curate their fashion to match the theme of the exhibit, which is generally haute couture. Guests are expected but not mandated to the theme.

Khloe went through a rebirth, she’s a completely different person from how she was in the early years of their show.
I hope she’s truly happy now, everyone deserves happiness.
10/10
Kim is a human chameleon. One year she’s voluptuous the next year she’s svelte.
She always looks good though, no matter the body frame she chooses to wear…
8/10. The hair should have been styled differently, an updo, a ponytail anything but a Bo. Bob hairstyle tends to give a corporate look 🤷🏾♀️
It’s a costume gala so why not. 7/10

I really do not like this outfit. It really aged her 🙄.
5/10
It looks like she’s wearing gold coins. The dress looks like it’s a load for her to carry, not too flattering on her.
I think it will look better on a taller person.
10/10
Kris Jenner looks like the momager extraordinaire that she is.
7/10
Megan looks like she’s dressed for ‘The clash of the Titan Movie. It’s a good look for the Met Gala but for that slit! I think it would have been perfect without the slit.

What a beautiful dress! The fabric is exquisite, I love the look.

Quannah glows differently in this ethereal look. I love the traditional accessories and her make-up it all works so well with the dress.

This dress sits perfectly on Lily. It is stunning. I love the lace fabric the Versace house has used so far.
7/10
Dania was styled so well. I love the accessories used too. I’m not a fan of bold purple but she pulled it off, she looks like royalty.
10/10
It’s great to see a tie-dye outfit on the red carpet. Teyana’s victorian tie-dye gown is exquisite.
I love her accessories too. Fabulous look.
8/10
Anita’s look is very luxurious. Love the pearls hanging on the dress. I wish she’d worn it without the necklace though.
I think the necklace is a distraction from the beauty of the dress.
7/10
She looks like a Swan.
6/10
I think I’ve been seeing too many pink and red combos 😂. This works though.
She should have done without the white gloves. They spoilt the look for me.
7/10
I loveee her hair. Why is this designer giving everyone White gloves!
10/10
Glen Close looks elegant and comfortable. I love her earrings, pink gloves, pink purse, just everything about this look.
10/10
For someone that is not a fan of pink, I’m scared at how I’m loving all the pink outfits. 💕

It’s our dear Lady Whistledown 😚.
She will always be Penelope Featherington to me.
10/10
Amazing look. I love girly looks. I love how it is sparkly and flowy and the perfect fit.

Gosh, this is pink perfection. Soft pink dress, gloves, purse and her hair swept back 😍. Perfection.

Monogrammed fabric! This is a very interesting look on Naomi from the Burberry fashion house. It would have looked dowdy on some people, but never Naomi

She looks cute right? I had to look her up and guess what? Shes 51! She looks like a teenager 😃.

You know there are some looks that are made for some people, this was made for Christine! Very few people can pull this look off and she’s one of them. A very stern look right?

A tuxedo dress or what? I like this look. Just look at her gloves 😍.
8/10.
Phoebe’s hair is too sleek (I can’t believe I’m saying this as a big fan of sleek looks). A loose updo would have worked better here.
7/10
Boring, but she looks Good.

This is how you show up for a costume gala.

A complicated look. I love the color and then her shoes 😍.

Cara is always controversial. Even though I’m quite Conservative when it comes to fashion, I have to agree that this is art at it’s finest.
I love this 😂
