It's the biggest high fashion red carpet of the year. A gala and paparazzi extravaganza specifically devoted to the most prestigious celebrities and their attire. It's an event that's a bit underrated in my opinion, and the competition was definitely fierce.
Here's a countdown of the top five most jaw-dropping moments on this year's red carpet:
5. Sarah Jessica Parker
Anyone who knows the MET Gala knows that this is the event for Sarah Jessica Parker. She's been a guest for years now and has rarely ever wavered in her keen fashion sense, and clearly, 2018 was no different. These days it can be a rarity for her to grace us with her presence on a variety of red carpets, but it's nice to know we'll always have this one!
4. Ariana Grande
I'm going to be honest, I've never been too fond of Ariana Grande's red carpet attire on numerous other occasions because I feel like she never truly dresses maturely. With her small physique, she tends to wear these petite and "cute-sie" outfits. However, her MET appearance changed the game. With a full Vatican-like mural flowing through her entire gown and a beautifully positioned tulle bow in her hair, Ariana has finally earned this notoriety.
3. Doutzen Kroes
The color blocking and ombre mesh on this dress makes for a beautiful bright array. The addition of the red hood is a unique touch as well. I think it can be said that Doutzen is able to pull this dress off so well because of her innate beauty, however, that doesn't stop me from wanting in on this summery sultry.
2. Hailee Steinfeld
So stunning, sleek, and simple! Hailee Steinfeld radiates in this dress. Not to mention, her diamond encrusted crown on her head is probably worth more than my life and every single one of my family member's lives combined. The slit is also a great additive, and really gives the simple dress a sex appeal to it. Hailee surely does a good job of posing and showing this dress off to photographers, and rightfully so!
1. Blake Lively
Six-hundred hours. Six-hundred hours it took for Blake's dress to be made. The detail in this is to die for and earns Blake the number one spot. Heck, I'm pretty sure this dress can be considered better artwork than most of the pieces found inside the MET Gala! Perfection, just perfection.
