1. Blake Lively: Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, 2018
One of most iconic Met Gala look of all time. This year’s co-chair, Blake Lively, stunned in an ornate ruby Versace gown, compete with a beaded train and a jeweled corset that took a combined 600 hours to complete. Not only was the gown exquisitely made, it was dead-on theme. The look was elevated even further by a gorgeous gold headpiece, making Lively look like a Venetian queen.
2. Cher: Romantic and Glamorous Hollywood Design, 1974
This look ties Blake Lively for most iconic Met Gala look. Cher’s Bob Mackie dress for the 1974 Met Gala has its own name (the Naked dress) and has been on the cover of TIME magazine. The dress was made out of soufflé, a french fabric that was banned in the USA, which was then wet in order to stick to her body, hence giving it a naked look. Kim Kardashian referenced this look for her 2015 Met Gala dress.
