The Met Gala raises funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and celebrates the Costume Institute’s annual exhibits. This year’s theme, “The Garden of Time,” celebrates the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibition.
Here, WWD looks back at the best dressed guests in Met Gala history, from Princess Diana to Rihanna.
