Met Gala is a grand event for celebrities to be promoted to fashion indicators. On the first Monday of May, the stars walked more than just the red carpet. They wore custom uniforms and stepped on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum, showing the world their interpretation of the theme of the current generation. What’s different from other awards and premieres is that their goal is not to shine for a moment, but to create an eye-catching look that can make people savor for decades. Even with many guests attending in designer dresses and customized suits, there are still very few people who can do this, and these people have helped them write a brilliant mark in fashion history. Like Rihanna's Pope outfit, Kate Moss's golden turban, Sarah Jessica Parker's Alexander McQueen plaid gown, Erykah Badu's shiny hat, and Madonna in a hippie robe, these are all one of the best looks in the past.
This dinner has always encouraged guests to strive for innovation in clothing, and the Costume Institute's rich clothing exhibits also provide guests with a lot of inspiration to make their debut in the most avant-garde manner. Where else can you see such a picture? Cardi B and his assistants moved in Thom Browne's huge red dress on the pink red carpet, or goddesses Kaka Lady Gaga and Brandon Maxwell brought a Russian baby doll outfit to the street. The New Yorkers next to him were amazed.
The Met Gala style that stands out can be performative (2004, Amber Valletta's Baroque style), subversive (2011, Daphne Guinness wore a McQueen feather skirt), humorous (2005, Karolina Kurkova wore a funny Viktor & Rolf gown), or echoing (a retro surprise brought by Olsen sister Olsen Twins every year), but it can't be boring.
The COVID-19 epidemic was cancelled in 2020. However, the biggest night in fashion returns grandly in 2021 with the theme of “In America: Vocabulary of Fashion”. In 2022, the party continued its craze, celebrating the debut of the second part of the exhibition, “In the United States: The Fashionable Collection”. In 2023, Met Gala will pay tribute to Carl Lagerfeld as the theme, and heavyweight guests such as Rihanna, Nicole Kidman and An Hathaway all greeted the late designer with very stylish looks. In last year's theme “Sleeping Beauty: Fashion Awakening”, celebrities such as Crandia Zendaya, Bad Bunny and Jennifer Lopez also jumped to the best dressing list with their amazing looks.
