Met Gala 2021: A look back at some of the most eye-catching looks

The Met Gala is right around the corner – and so is the evening’s eye-catching fashion.

Monday’s gala will be part one of a two-part event. Part one’s theme is “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.” Part two will take place on May 2, 2022, and the theme will be “In America: An Anthology of Fashion.”

To help prepare, looks from Met Galas past must be remembered.
