Kim Kardashian shut down the Met Gala red carpet, 2022 in one of Marilyn Monroe’s most iconic dresses, a gold-beaded body hugger Monroe wore when she sang happy birthday to President John F. Kennedy 60 years ago. Kardashian had to lose 16 pounds to fit into the dress, designed by Jean Louis and purchased in 2016 by the Ripley’s Believe or Not! museum in Orlando, Florida, for a whopping $4.81 million (Dhs 17,630,880) “It was such a challenge,” she said. “I was determined to fit it.” Word has it that she also learned breathing techniques to survive long in a tight dress.

Lady Gaga was a lady in pink and we loved her bouffant sleeves. The singer/Met Gala co-host/Queen of Camp showed up Met Gala 2019 in a massive hot pink Brandon Maxwell gown. Although we expected her to wear dark colours, watching her rock the fuchsia-toned outfit was a vision to remember. Image Credit: AP

Priyanka Chopra Jonas relived her fairytale in 2019 as she landed on the Met Gala red carpet in a look inspired by Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’. Dressed in a grey-yellow-pink Dior gown, with her hair in tight curls, we could mistake her for the Queen of Hearts with some style sense. Singer Nick Jonas, meanwhile, dressed to kill in an all-white suit with a thin, fake moustache. While a few lauded her for her adventurous choice, many trolled her for her bizarre look. Perhaps, the hairdo and the dress was a bit over-the-top, but MET gala is one place where nobody judges you for not playing it safe. Image Credit: Agencies

Cardi B owned the 2019 Met Gala red carpet in her blood red feathered Thom Browne creation. The high-neck gown encircled the rapper’s head and had sleeves that went all the way to her fingertips. Vogue reported that her designer gown was styled with 30,000 feathers and took 35 people close to 2,000 hours to complete. Meanwhile, the custom bodice boasted 44 carats worth of rubies. Okay then.

Jared Leto had fans (and a few celebs) stop in their tracks when he showed up at the Camp-themed Met Gala in a custom-made Gucci, high-neck red gown, with jewel-encrusted bodychains to complete the look. But what had everyone gasping was his accessory — a severed head that looked just like him. Now that was a show stopper. Image Credit: Agencies

Alicia Keys’ Ralph Lauren dress was inspired by her native New York City in 2022, with a cape evoking the New York City skyline outlined in small hand-placed crystals.

Keys said her dress was meant to ‘represent an empire state of mind and a city of gods here tonight.’ Image Credit: insta/aliciakeys
