Every first Monday in May since 1972, celebrities flock to the most important fashion event of the year. Back on the most striking outfits of this evening since its creation.


A theme.

An exhibition.

Hundreds of celebrities dressed in sequins, embroidery or extravagant headdresses.

This is the winning combination of the MET Gala, an event bringing together the most fashionable personalities of the moment.

An exceptional showcase for fashion designers, the evening organized since 1972 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, each year becomes the scene of a parade of celebrities wearing outfits where everything is played out in excess.

A great show

Rihanna in 2015 in a sunny yellow dress, whose train weighed more than 25 kg (a creation by Chinese designer Guo Pei that required two years of work), Lady Gaga stripping on the red carpet in 2019, or actor Billy Wear in a winged suit the same year ... The stars compete in imagination and extravagance during this evening.

In 2021, it was Kim Kardashian who managed to capture the dumbfounded gaze of the audience in a tight black Balenciaga dress that even covered her face.

Certain personalities are particularly expected each year.

Like Sarah Jessica Parker: since the 2006 edition, where the actress was accompanied by designer Alexander McQueen and sported a tartan print like him, the arrival of the interpreter of Carrie Bradshaw has become a real event in itself.

The singer Katy Perry who arrived in a chandelier and a burger the same year, Blake Lively imperial in an embroidered dress, or even Jared Leto who came with his "double" are also part of the list of the most popular celebrities.

A social and charitable event

Before becoming one of the most scrutinized events in the world, the Met Gala was long the meeting place for socialites gathering to raise funds for the New York museum and celebrate, each year, the inauguration of a new exhibition from the Costume Institute.

An institution.
