On May 2, the annual Met Gala returned to New York City. Hundreds of celebrities walked the iconic red carpet in their intricate outfits. This year’s theme was the Gilded Age. 

After watching the livestream hosted by Vogue, which took viewers onto the red carpet virtually, and following along on Instagram, I composed a list of some of the best outfits (in no particular order) of the night.

To begin, Blake Lively looked stunning in her blue and copper dress. The long gown was meant to symbolize the Statue of Liberty to tie with the theme. She wore lengthy copper and blue gloves that went up her arms and added a princess touch to the outfit.

As for next year’s Met Gala, there are already rumors spreading about potential themes. Also, there are rumors spreading regarding outfit restrictions for next year’s gala. Some think that there will be a rule that outfits will have to be approved to be worn on the red carpet.
