The dress code was avant-garde. Welcome to the MET GALA 2017 where co-chair Katy Perry provided the macabre romanticism. Considering this year’s theme “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art of the In-Between” – it is no surprise that they best beauty looks of the evening centered on extremes, embodying the collective balance between exaggerated and poetic.

The invitation called for midsummer night’s anime. Katy Perry and DJ Mia Moretti curated the musical entertainment for the festivities, including performances by Moretti and Margot of The Dolls, DJ Equal, Jesse Marco and a special performance by all-female brass band The Original Pinettes.

Some of the celebs in attendance included Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez, Jake Gyllenhaal with his sister Maggie, Dakota Johnson, Brie Larson, Michael B. Jordan, the Olsen Twins, Alexander Skarsgard, and so many more.

The dress code at the Met Gala was for sure over the top. Some guests went bold, others went classic, and most served up jaw-dropping style.
