The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala is one of the most fashionable events on the celebrity red carpet calendar, and each year serves up a memorable dish of looks to obsess over. With this year’s red carpet fast approaching (Monday, to be exact), we thought it only right to go back and revisit some of our favorite looks from past years. From Rihanna’s glorious Guo Pei gown in 2015 to Diane Kruger’s purple feathered Prada gown in 2010, we’ve rounded up the most memorable looks.
Keep scrolling to see which ones you remember and fall in love with all over again.
