Iconic Met Gala Moments: Zendaya, Priyanka Chopra, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Blake Lively, Billy Porter steal the show

The Met Gala is known for its extravagant fashion moments, and over the years, celebrities like Rihanna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and more have graced the red carpet with iconic looks. From Rihanna’s stunning yellow Guo Pei gown to Lady Gaga’s eccentric ensembles, the Met Gala has consistently pushed the boundaries of fashion and style.

In 2019, Zendaya had a Cinderella moment in a light-up Tommy Hilfiger gown, while Lupita Nyong’o shimmered in a green sequined Calvin Klein gown in 2016. Billy Porter made history in 2019 by attending the event in a gender-fluid ensemble, redefining men’s fashion.

In 2021, all eyes were on Rihanna and A$AP Rocky as they made their Met Gala debut as a couple in coordinating Balenciaga looks. Kim Kardashian caused a stir in 2019 with her wet-look Mugler gown, and Blake Lively made a regal statement in a Versace gown in 2018.

Priyanka Chopra turned heads in a custom Ralph Lauren trench coat gown at the 2017 Met Gala, exuding elegance and sophistication. The 2024 Met Gala will be held on May 6 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, with the theme ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.’

This year’s focus will be on reviving unique garments from various centuries, offering a novel perspective to fashion enthusiasts. The exhibition will feature significant pieces spanning over 400 years of fashion history, showcasing iconic designers such as Elsa Schiaparelli, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and Hubert de Givenchy. Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, and Bad Bunny will serve as the night’s co-chairs, celebrating delicate pieces of fashion affectionately termed the ‘sleeping beauties’.
