On the red carpet, the stars did their best to adopt the “Gilded Glamour, White Tie” dress code, where they were encouraged to approach late 19th century clothing from a modern perspective by paying homage to America’s golden age. This year was no exception and the most extravagant outfits were expected on the red carpet. The Met Gala is the place to be for the stars, as all the media around the world will be covering and broadcasting photos from the event.
