The most memorable MetGala looks of all time
Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: Getty Images Spend some time in the archives of Met Galas past and it becomes pretty obvious that while some celebrities merely attend the Gala and take the theme as a suggestion, others use the red carpet as an opportunity to steal the show. Or at least attempt to, anyway. For every celebrity who does their homework and nails the theme, there’s an antic that falls short of the mark, making an outfit memorable in a whole other kind of way.
Best Modern Day Bowie: Kristen Stewart, 2019 Photo: 2019 Getty Images Kristen Stewart showed up with two-tone brows, an accidental but campy mistake by the actress’s makeup artist. “I originally wanted to pop them out to a white color, but I removed the bleach prematurely and it was this cool banana color,” Jillian Dempsey told the Cut. “Instead of toning it down, I just left them raw and punk.”
Second-Best Accessory: Jaden Smith, 2018 Photo: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images After carrying his dreadlocks as an accessory at the 2017 Met Gala, when his sister Willow couldn’t make it as his date, Jaden Smith brought his accessory A-game again wearing Louis Vuitton with his Gold “Icon” record. Most Catholic: Cardi B, 2018 Photo: HECTOR RETAMAL/AFP/Getty Images Nothing is more Catholic than going as an actual religious icon. In an elaborate Moschino dress, the rapper walked the red carpet alongside Jeremy Scott.
Most Silicon Valley: Grimes With Elon Musk, 2018 Photo: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images Elon Musk and Grimes used the 2018 Met Gala to make their debut as a couple, with outfits designed by Musk no less. Years later, we’re still trying to make sense of it and everything that came after. Most Hydrated: Madonna, 2017 Photo: Rob Latour/REX/Shutterstock Photo: Dia Dipasupil/2017 Getty Images Why bother with a flask when you can accessorize your camouflage Moschino gown with a canteen of rosé?
Most Out There: Madonna, 2016 Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images The Queen of Pop’s dress, by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy, left nothing to the imagination. The singer later declared on Instagram: “We have fought and continue to fight for civil rights and gay rights around the world.
Most Lady Gaga: Lady Gaga, 2016 Photo: Larry Busacca/Getty Images No one else could compete in this category. The singer, of course, wore Versace.
