In a normal year, celebrities would prep themselves on the first Monday in May and later show up for the annual Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. But with the Covid-19 global pandemic, the 2020 Met Gala was postponed indefinitely, and that left Hollywood’s a-listers locked-down in their homes, possibly in their pajamas.
As one of the fashion’s biggest night, it’s all about your unique sartorial language, the crème de la crème and the aplomb involved in pulling it off. However, over the years, we’ve seen these celebs arrive the glitzy gala in their over-the-top, avant-garde, and the most impressive looks. To keep the excitement sparking as fashion aficionados, we’re reliving on the Met Gala fashion moments that are so hard to forget in recent years.
