The 10 Best Dressed Celebs in Met Gala History

Last night, everybody who’s anybody flocked to New York City’s Upper East Side to attend the annual Met Gala, this year with the theme “China: Through the Looking Glass.” From SJP’s flaming headdress to Beyoncé’s more-naked-than-Kim gown, our favorite celebs pulled out all the stops on the red carpet. But they’re not the only ones—let’s take a look back on the best dresses in Met Gala history!

1. Rihanna

Rihanna’s impeccable style at last year’s Met Gala was flawless! She wore an elegant Stella McCartney crop skirt and skirt at her arrival on the red carpet. 

2. Emma Watson

Dressed in a silk crepe Prabal Gurung satin gown, Emma Watson looked stunning in 2013. We are loving the thigh-high slit showing off her to-die-for legs!  

3. Beyoncé

In 2011, Beyoncé slayed in a black and gold Pucci mermaid dress. The fitted gown showed off her curves in all of the right places!

4. Solange

Of course, we can’t forget about Solange at 2012’s Met Gala. We love the bold splash of color in her strapless Rachel Roy gown—that silhouette makes her look so statuesque!

5. Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay rocked the 2007 Met Gala in a chic black Bally gown. Please excuse us while we swoon over how stunning she looked!

6. Jessica Biel

Someone’s looking red HOT! Jessica took all of our breaths away in 2009 in this Atelier Versace gown.

7. Chanel Iman

Gorgeous supermodel Chanel Iman looked stunning in her semi-mesh Tom Ford gown at the Met Gala of 2012.

8. Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez proves again and again that she’s probably not human. Take us back to 2010 to witness her take over the red carpet in her strapless Zuhair Murad gown!

9. Thandie Newton

Almost a decade ago, Thandie Newton stole everyone’s hearts as she took to the red carpet in a golden Gucci dress. Simplistic beauty at its finest!

10. Hailee Steinfield 

18-year old Hailee Steinfield came dressed to kill at the 2014 Met Gala. Can we please add her Prabal Gurung gown to our closets?!
