The co-chair’s wife Helen Lasichanh wore a tomato-red onesie along with a blonde topknot which was also designed by CdG.
Rihanna Stepped Out with Her Slaying Looks
The internet collectively agrees on very few things, but when it comes to “Met Gala 2017,” everybody is sure that Rihanna rocked it. Undoubtedly, Ri has always been a fashion maven, her excellence at fashion’s biggest event made her a style icon of the night. Just like in 2015, Rihanna slew it this year as well by fully following the theme. The singer wore a Comme des Garçons dress from fall, 2016.
On Tuesday morning, Lady Gaga praised Rihanna’s puff pastry dress. The singer wrote, “Best dressed in my humble opinion was Rihanna. She captured the spirit of the night and emotion of #Kawakubo #CommeDesGarcons.”
Gorgeous Selena Gomez Wore a Coach Design
The talented singer and actress arrived at the Met Gala with her boyfriend, The Weeknd.
Hot Selena was styled by Kate Young and wore a Coach design, with adornments dredged all over, by Stuart Vevers. Also, she was wearing a choker and rosy pink eyeshadow which made her look even more beautiful effortlessly.
Hold on! Did you notice Gomez’s purse?
She made her first red carpet-appearance with The Weeknd. The new couple showed affection to each other, but her pint-size handbag advertised a big message on it about self-love. Her bag read, “Love yourself first.” Gomez, you are completely right about this!
Salena Gomez And The Weeknd Look Gorgeous Together
The Weeknd and Selena were the best-dressed couple at the Met Gala. But, the singer also held on his own on Monday. The Weeknd looked so handsome in his classic black satin shawl-collar tuxedo made by Valentino. His silk bow tie and patent leather tuxedo shoes complimented his black tuxedo.
After a closer look, anyone could notice the singer’s accessories, courtesy of Cartier, he was wearing one of the best jewellery of the night. He was wearing a diamond brooch from the Cartier collection, one of the jewellery which is only reserved for red-carpet appearances.
Serena Williams Glowed in a Green Dress
Mommy-to-be Serena Williams, the tennis star attended the Met Gala while glowing in a green dress, showing off her growing baby bump.
The star is expecting her fiancé Alexis Ohanian, however, the reveal about her pregnancy was made by accident. Despite her pregnancy, Williams managed to shine on the red carpet anyway with Atelier Versace dress, and Kesha McLeod’s style.
Katy Perry went Avant-Garde
Just like Rihanna, the stunning Katy Perry also followed the avant-garde theme at the Met Gala event. The singer served as one of the co-chairs of this year’s Met Gala.
She wore Maison Margiela dress, a red decorative embroidered wool coat layered over a red tulle along with an embroidered silk chiffon dress. The dress was complimented with John Galliano’s red silk tulle veil, red boots, and polished headpiece and styled by Jamie Mizrahi.
Dakota Johnson Wore the Head-Turning Black Dress
The Fifty Shades actress looked stunning at the Met Gala 2017 in black Gucci gown. Her dress was designed in a way which completely went with the theme of the big night.

Johnson complimented her outfit with classic emerald diamond earrings and an amber-colored statement ring.
Priyanka Chopra’s Fantastic Looks at the Event
The Indian actress attended the Met Gala event for the first time, “I will probably faint, but it’s so cool,” said Chopra. Priyanka looked stunning in her glittering gold Ralph Lauren dress on Monday. Ralph Lauren and Priyanka had classic reference points in mind for the red-carpet event, resulting in a trench gown.
Priyanka’s dress followed the Met Gala’s theme which needed four hands to get out of the hotel’s lobby. Chopra wore Jennifer Fisher jewellery and managed to dance on the floor anyway. The floor-sweeping trench gown easily converted into a mini-dress when Rihanna’s epic late-night party came up.
The Fashionista Gigi Hadid looked super sexy
Gigi Hadid is popular for her great taste in clothing and fashion.
The 21-year-old model attended the Met Gala 2017 event in Tommy Hilfiger, displaying her leg in an asymmetrical champagne gown. She did not disappoint her fans and everyone simply loved her elegant, off-shoulder dress.

In fact, the dress is exactly like the sketch which Alex showed me.’
Hadid totally ignored her ex-boyfriend, The Weeknd at the mega event. Shocking facts to know? She cut her hair off a few hours before walking on the red carpet.
West Surprised Everyone
Kim Kardashian West surprised everyone, first, by coming solo to the big night. Secondly, she wore a simple yet elegant dress. I mean, we were not expecting Kim to come this way. While everyone was preparing to wear heavy jewelry and dramatic dresses to follow the avant-garde theme, the actress wore a subdued and streamlined slip dress. The piece designed by Vivienne Westwood could have been considered as the entrepreneur’s most avant-garde yet, because of its surprisingly simplistic approach to eveningwear. Kim, you looked gorgeous on Monday!
