Cher, Princess Diana, Lady Gaga... Memorable outfits in Met Gala history
Every year since 1971, the Metropolitan Museum of Art has held a benefit gala to raise funds for its Costume Institute. The biggest stars attend the party, wearing remarkable designs linked to each year's distinctive theme.
These are Rihanna and A$AP Rocky at the 2021 Met gala. The theme was 'In America - A Lexicon of Fashion' and their outfits were from the hands of Demna Gvasalia (Rihanna) and Eli Russell Linnetz (A$AP).
