Every spring, the Met Gala gathers the most eye-catching people from the world of fashion, entertainment and sports in New York. This is why the gala’s red carpet is one of the most watched of the year.
The gala is known for the fact that several invited guests really invest in their outfits, because if anything, you can’t overdress at this event, and too much is never too much. The theme of the gala this time was “fashion is art”, which inspired fashion designers to explore clothing choices from a personal and playful point of view.
As usual, the red carpet saw not only individual outfits, but also various new ways to realize head-turning necklines and nightgowns.
In this article, we collected examples of the bravest revealers at the gala.
