Popsugar Fashion Met Gala Anna Wintour at the Met Gala Pictures Anna Wintour's Met Gala Looks Can Be Described in 3 Words: Chic, Classic, and Chanel 6 March 2019 by Corinne Sullivan Image Source: Getty / Evan Agostini Everyone who's anyone knows this to be true: Anna Wintour is the Met Gala — everyone else is simply attending it. The 69-year-old fashionista may be better known as the longtime editor in chief of Vogue, but she is also the face of the most exclusive and extravagant fashion event of the year, which she became cochair of in 1999. The theme may change every year, but when it comes to her own look, Wintour sticks to the adage of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," as you can always depend on her to hit the red carpet in simple, subdued Chanel couture (and with her trademark bob, of course). Check out the gallery for all of the Met Gala VIP's looks over the past 16 years. 2003 Image Source: Getty / Evan Agostini Theme: Goddess: The Classical Mode Designer: Chanel 1 / 16 2004 Image Source: Getty / Evan Agostini Theme: Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the 18th Century Designer: Chanel 2 / 16 2005 Image Source: Getty / Evan Agostini Theme: The House of Chanel Designer: Chanel 3 / 16 2006 Image Source: Getty / Evan Agostini Theme: AngloMania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion Designer: Chanel 4 / 16 2007 Image Source: Getty / Evan Agostini Theme: Poiret: King Of Fashion Designer: Chanel 5 / 16 2008 Image Source: Getty / Dimitrios Kambouris Theme: Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy Designer: Chanel 6 / 16 2009 Image Source: Getty / Stephen Lovekin Theme: The Model As Muse: Embodying Fashion Designer: Chanel 7 / 16 2010 Image Source: Getty / Stephen Lovekin Theme: American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity Designer: Chanel 8 / 16 2011 Image Source: Getty / Dimitrios Kambouris Theme: Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Designer: Chanel 9 / 16 2012 Image Source: Getty / Dimitrios Kambouris Theme: Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations Designer: Prada 10 / 16 2013 Image Source: Getty / Dimitrios Kambouris Theme: Punk: Chaos to Couture Designer: Chanel 11 / 16 2014 Image Source: Getty / Dimitrios Kambouris Theme: Charles James: Beyond Fashion Designer: Chanel 12 / 16 2015 Image Source: Getty / Jamie McCarthy Theme: China: Through the Looking Glass Designer: Chanel 13 / 16 2016 Image Source: Getty / Kevin Mazur Theme: Manux X Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology Designer: Chanel 14 / 16 2017 Image Source: Getty / Karwai Tang Theme: Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between Designer: Chanel 15 / 16 2018 Image Source: Getty / George Pimentel Theme: Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination Designer: Chanel 16 / 16 Met GalaAnna Wintour
