22 of the Best-Ever Met Gala Looks for Some Easy Scrolling
These are strange times, and fashion, of course, must take a back seat to the more important news that is going on in the world. But there is a different role that looking at pretty pictures provides: momentary escapism and distraction. Right now, that is what we at Who What Wear can excel at—a means to momentarily take your mind off the 24/7 news cycle.
Tomorrow, we should be waking up to hundreds of red carpet pictures from the Met Gala, which was scheduled to take place this evening in New York. And so to mark the first Monday in May, we've delved into the archives to bring you some of the most iconic Met Gala outfits ever. The yearly event is notorious for giving us the most interesting and outrageous red carpet looks. The guest list is always full of the biggest A-listers, and everyone always makes an effort with their outfits. (Anna Wintour has to sign them off, too, so they come pre-approved.)
Keep scrolling to spend the next five minutes looking at some of our favourite Met Gala looks.
