Princess Diana, Celine Dion, Cher... Memorable outfits in Met Gala history
Every year in May, stars from the art, entertainment, and fashion scenes dress up spectacularly and create iconic photos. Princess Diana was one of them, for example, in 1996.
Since 1971, the Metropolitan Museum of Art has held an annual 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.
In 2024, the theme was 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion', inspiring dresses and suits from fairy tales and magic forests. Click further to see the best Met Gala outfits over the past decades!
