The Must-See Pre Met Gala Looks Celebs Wore in NYC Over the Weekend

Gone are the days when the Met Gala was just the Met Gala. There's now an entire weekend of events leading up to the grand finale on the first Monday in May (today!). The stars began ascending upon NYC from all over the world starting last week, so there have been lots of great fashion moments ahead of the biggest night of the year for fashion.

To name a couple, Anna Wintour hosted a dinner at her home on the eve of the Met Gala, and Vogue hosted a pre-party on Friday night. Aside from that, stars were out and about all over the city this weekend at various events, parties, and dinners, so we compiled some of the chicest looks leading up to today. Scroll to see Kendall Jenner in a stunning cobalt-blue gown, Rihanna cloaked in Chanel and feathers, and Dua Lipa in the most interesting sweaterdress you'll ever see, and be sure to keep an eye out for our extensive Met Gala coverage tonight.
