# The 2023 Met Gala Flashback: A Look Back at The Best Dressed Celebrities including Rihanna in Valentino, Lil Nas in Pat McGrath, Cardi B in Cheng Peng Studio, Doja Cat in Oscar De La Renta & More!

Fashion’s biggest night has arrived, and celebrities have touched down in New York to attend [the MET Gala](https://www.vogue.com/tag/event/met-gala), an annual fundraising extravaganza held at the [Metropolitan Museum of Art. ](https://www.metmuseum.org/)

Every year we anticipate what our most beloved celebrities will wear, and we’re always enamored with how brilliantly they conceptualize the theme of the event.

With past themes including “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” and most recently “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” this year celebs will show off their interpretation of “[Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion](https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/met-gala-2024-theme-explained/),” which will emphasize “the sensory experience behind clothes and their transitory nature.”

The event, which is strictly invite only, and co-chaired by [Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour](https://www.instagram.com/wintourworld/?hl=en) since 1995, dress code is “The Garden of Time,”- a nod to the 1962 J.G. Ballard short story.

Last year, paying tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld who significantly influenced the fashion industry, celebrities brought their A-game in tweeds, pearls and 3-D floral ensembles.

From Rihanna who showed up fashionably late in Valentino alongside her beau A$AP Rocky dripped in Gucci, to Jeremy Pope who offered an illustrated touch in his Karl Balmain cape, the avant-garde and unconventional looks were in a multitude and endless.

Ahead, see our Top 10 celebrities who ‘ate and left no crumbs’ at the MET Gala last year!
