IMAN

Here is a pretty basic fashion rule: Iman can wear whatever the hell she wants and she will make it work. We're so curious about how the transportation works when there is a hat the size of a dining room table top involved!

DAN LEVY
Obviously we love Dan Levy, and he always serves up a unique red carpet look. This one from the 2021 Met Gala (which had the theme "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion") sort of looked like a deconstructed globe combined with a comforter and bedazzled leggings.

KID CUDI
What happens when one rapper gets combined with a sweater made from Grover's fur and a shower curtain from a frat house? On the downside, we're not sure what this wild look is actually about or how it connects to the 2021 "In America" theme.

KATY PERRY

It's giving Lumière from Beauty and the Beast vibes. It's giving Katy freaking Perry really committed to the "Camp: Notes on Fashion" theme from 2019.

Here's a look that said, "Getting stabbed in the chest, but make it fashion!" This Lana Del Rey outfit was created by Gucci and included an ombré bird wing-inspired headpiece designed to give off an angelic vibe.

MARC JACOBS

This look seems like it was inspired by a Scottish person's love of that iconic Carol Burnett Show skit where she plays Scarlett O'Hara wearing the drapes.

We know that Lady Gaga is no stranger to wild looks, and this Met Gala one might even be tame compared with her infamous meat dress, but we also have to note two things: She is not wearing pants at a formal event, and those have to be the highest heels we have ever seen.
LADY GAGA

OK, so this is a look that seems like it should be found on the MTV Video Awards red carpet and not the Met Gala, but it really seems wild when we remind ourselves that the theme that year was a tribute to Jacqueline Kennedy in the White House years.

We're kind of obsessed with the fact that Pharrell Williams and his wife, Helen Lasichanh, look like they are going to two entirely different events here.

CARDI B

Cardi B looks like a glamorous cross between a bug and a bird in this 2019 look by designer Thom Browne. Cardi is never afraid to go a little extra, including rocking a gown that has sequins, feathers, ruffles, a corset, and a headpiece that looks like the most luxe swim cap ever.

Frances McDormand — who we adore for her many iconic roles and her often very entertaining awards show speeches — was out here looking like the fanciest gift bag ever in this Valentino Couture look.

FREDRIK ROBERTSSON
Swedish fashion icon Fredrik Robertsson stole the show at the 2022 Met Gala — and not just because some people thought he was actually Jared Leto. He collaborated with designer Iris van Herpen to create a totally custom outfit for the gala that took 700 hours to produce.

Broadway producer Jordan Roth stunned on the red carpet at the 2022 event when he showed up in an all black Thom Browne look.

Is it just us, or is this totally a look that Carrie Bradshaw would wear if she were invited to the Met Gala?

At the 2022 Met Gala Kim controversially wore a dress that once belonged to Marilyn Monroe, even though she had to go to extreme measures to diet in order to fit into the dress.

Blake Lively's 2022 Met Gala dress wasn't just a dress — it was a moment.
