From Beyoncé's last-minute arrival to The Weeknd and Selena Gomez's red carpet debut — and even the star-studded afterparties — there are a bevy of moments from past Met Galas that need to be relived.
After last year's fete is postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, the event returns in 2021 to celebrate the exhibit "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion", which opens in the Anna Wintour Costume Centre on 18 Sept., 2021. Curated by Andrew Bolton, the exhibit is co-chaired by Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Amanda Gorman, and Naomi Osaka whilst the party will feature an entirely vegan menu created by 10 up-and-coming chefs from New York City.
As we get ready for fashion's biggest night of the year, we look back at the most memorable pictures from previous Met Galas.
