MET Gala 2017 Red Carpet Arrivals - A Celebration of Rei Kawakubo

The 2017 Met Gala was a night of glamour, fashion, and Rei Kawakubo. The theme of the event was "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between," and the red carpet was awash in stunning gowns and suits that celebrated the work of the Japanese fashion designer.
Here are some of the most memorable looks from the 2017 Met Gala red carpet:
Katy Perry: The singer-songwriter went all out in a custom-made Maison Margiela embroidered coat, red tulle dress, and matching veil by John Galliano, which she accessorized with a dramatic headdress made of black feathers.
Rihanna: The pop star was a vision in red in a custom-made Guo Pei gown that was inspired by the Chinese emperor's Forbidden City. The dress was made of silk and embroidered with gold thread, and it featured a dramatic train that billowed behind her as she walked down the red carpet.
Kim Kardashian: The reality star always knows how to make a statement, and she did not disappoint in 2017. Kardashian wore a custom-made Balmain gown that was covered in Swarovski crystals. The dress was so tight that it required Kardashian to be vacuum-sealed into it before she could walk down the red carpet.
Taylor Swift: The singer-songwriter looked ethereal in a custom-made Louis Vuitton gown that was made of white lace and chiffon. The dress featured a plunging neckline and a train that trailed behind her for several feet.
Kendall Jenner: The model looked stunning in a custom-made Versace gown that was made of sheer fabric and sequins. The dress featured a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit, and it showed off Jenner's incredible figure.
Gigi Hadid: The model looked like a princess in a custom-made Tommy Hilfiger gown that was made of white lace and chiffon. The dress featured a sweetheart neckline and a long train, and it was accessorized with a tiara and a pair of diamond earrings.
Zayn Malik: The singer looked dapper in a custom-made Versace suit that was made of black velvet and gold lamé. The suit featured a peak lapel and a satin shawl collar, and it was accessorized with a black tie and a pair of gold cufflinks.
Blake Lively: The actress looked like a goddess in a custom-made Burberry gown that was made of gold silk and chiffon. The dress featured a plunging neckline and a long train, and it was accessorized with a diamond necklace and a pair of gold earrings.
Lupita Nyong'o: The actress looked stunning in a custom-made Ralph Lauren gown that was made of black lace and chiffon. The dress featured a plunging neckline and a long train, and it was accessorized with a diamond necklace and a pair of gold earrings.
Anna Wintour: The editor-in-chief of Vogue always sets the tone for the Met Gala, and she did not disappoint in 2017. Wintour wore a custom-made Chanel gown that was inspired by traditional Chinese dress. The gown was made of silk and embroidered with gold thread, and it featured a long train and a high collar.
Beyoncé: The queen of pop always turns heads on the red carpet, and she did not disappoint in 2017. Beyoncé wore a custom-made Givenchy Haute Couture gown that was inspired by a Chinese imperial court dress. The gown was made of red silk and embroidered with gold thread, and it featured a plunging neckline and a long train.
Jennifer Lopez: The actress and singer looked stunning in a custom-made Ralph Lauren gown that was inspired by the Renaissance. The dress was made of red velvet and embroidered with gold thread, and it featured a plunging neckline and a long train.
Céline Dion: The Canadian singer looked like a queen in a custom-made Ralph Lauren gown that was made of white lace and chiffon. The dress featured a sweetheart neckline and a long train, and it was accessorized with a tiara and a pair of diamond earrings.
Charlize Theron: The actress looked stunning in a custom-made Dior gown that was made of black lace and chiffon. The dress featured a plunging neckline and a long train, and it was accessorized with a diamond necklace and a pair of gold earrings.

[@esya800]

I hated that sooooo many didnt go with the theme !!! Kick those Instagram models out !

[@janniefroehlich2011]

jealous?

[@esya800]

No. I just critisized their way of disrespecting MET by not following their theme. I dont know what this has to do with jealousy?

[@kaitlynrose_xx8905]

Cherry Sandy exactly. drove me insane. the only Instagram model I like are kendall and bella because she's not all that bad. gigi is overrated and average at best. but all of them should've required more work to be here

[@esya800]

Kaitlyn Rose_xx Hm I dont know. They looked pretty of course, but the theme was “between the arts“ that means avantgarde. Gigis look was actually quite good for the theme, but especially Kendall and Bella didnt go at all. If you compare them to Rihanna for example, they failed the theme badly, which doesnt mean they looked bad.

[@kaitlynrose_xx8905]

Cherry Sandy oh don't get me wrong I know they didn't follow the theme but people are calling them sluts and stuff, which just isn't right. I still think they looked nice. gigi in my opinion, looked like she was wearing curtains. the dress was ugly, but I also don't like gigi so maybe that's why I didn't like the dress.
