The first Monday in May is usually one of the highlights of the fashion year — the Met Gala. After two years off, the 2021 Met Gala red carpet had high expectations for extravagant glamour and the pent-up passion to preen paid off with sculptural hair, bejewelled eyes and spectacular beauty looks… so we’re hoping for more of the same this year again.

Inspired by some of the most spectacular get-ups of years gone by, we took a wander down memory lane for a reminder of some of the stand-out looks of the Met Gala through the years.
