After being postponed for over a year, the Met Gala is finally happening on Monday!
So we’re taking a stroll down memory lane and showing you what eight of our fave celebs
wore for their very first time on the Met steps!
Rihanna first attended fashion’s biggest night back in 2007 during her Good Girl Gone
Bad era!
Riri wore a Georges Chakra embellished gown.
She accessorized with some sheer gloves and diamond earrings.
Rihanna hasn’t officially confirmed if she’s attending this year or not, however she did
announce on her Instagram story that she will be hosting the event’s official after party.
She posted the after party info with the caption, “If you planning a MET Ball after party…
don’t.”
Riri has obviously rocked so many iconic looks to the event over the years, so we hope she
graces the red carpet this year.
Up next we have Beyoncé!
Bey first attended the Met Gala in 2008, and she stunned in a light pink Armani Privé
gown.
The gown featured a delicate ruffle detail on the front of the dress, and Beyoncé was
glowing in rosy makeup.
We do have to add that Queen Bey really did slay the Superheroes - Fashion and Fantasy
theme.
Beyonce wasn’t the only to make her first appearance at the 2008 Met, our girl Taylor
Swift also walked the famous red carpet that year.
She sported her signature Fearless era curls and wore a gold ombré gown by Badgley Mischka.
The gown featured all-over apliqué hearts which, we must say, is very on-brand for T-Swift.
And who can forget Kim Kardashian’s first Met Ball appearance in 2013.
Kim K wore this Ricardo Tisci for Givenchy gown while pregnant with her first child,
North.
Kim sat down with Vogue in 2019 for their “Life in Looks” YouTube series and described
the inspiration for the floral fabric.
She said, quote, “Ricardo had said afterwards, ‘what do you give a woman when she’s pregnant?
You send her flowers.’”
She also revealed how the memes people created about the dress affected her.
“I was crying like the whole way home because I just couldn’t believe it.
There was all these memes about me and this couch.”
She added, “And now I love it!
Like now it’s like sick!
Love it or hate it, Kim’s head to toe floral look is definitely one that we’ll always
remember.
The following year, 2014, saw Selena Gomez’s first Met Gala appearance.
She wore a beautiful burgundy gown by Diane Von Furstenburg.
She accessorized with statement earrings and a bold dark lip.
2014 was the year Selena released “The Heart Wants What It Wants,” and our heart wants
that dress in our closet, stat.
The 2015 Met saw Lady Gaga making her premiere at the event.
Known for her over-the-top looks, Gaga did not disappoint in this gown by Alexander Wang
for Balenciaga.
And as you know, Gaga’s looks get more and more extravagant every year.
Who can forget her four looks in one from 2019?
Needless to say, we can’t wait to see what Gaga pulls off this year, if she attends!
Kylie Jenner’s first at the event was in 2016.
The theme that year was Fashion in an Age of Technology.
Many celebs went for metallic, futuristic-looking outfits, including Kylie who wore this embellished
Balmain gown.
She looked absolutely stunning in head to toe beading, and the dress fit her like a
glove.
Kylie has already blessed us with some incredible maternity looks since recently announcing
her pregnancy, so we can’t wait to see what the expecting mama wears this year.
Believe it or not, Ariana Grande has only attended the Met Gala once in 2018! Shocker,
right?
Ari was one of the best dressed of the night in this, chef's kiss, Vera Wang gown.
The theme, Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, was executed perfectly
in the dress which had a classical painting printed on the fabric.
Her hair was slicked back in true Ariana fashion, and she accessorized with a giant bow in her
hair.
Let’s hope Ari will make her second Met appearance this year and who knows, maybe
even with her husband Dalton?
We can’t wait to see all the magic of this year’s MET so stay tuned for all the looks
and of course updates on Clevver News!
