The first Monday in May ushers in a celebration of art, culture, and celebrities dressing as wildly as they wish they could every day. That’s right, last night was the 2019 Met Gala. Formally known as Costume Institute Gala, the annual celebration raises funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
You best believe all your favorite celebrities were in attendance and each of them slayed in their own way. Here are some of our favorite looks.
