Rihanna, who revealed she was pregnant with her third child on Monday, was among the last celebrities to arrive at the Met Gala, but her ensemble was worth the wait.

The Fenty Beauty mogul's gown took inspiration from menswear with its pinstripe-patterned skirt and gray striped bodice, which called attention to her baby bump. She wore a micro suit jacket adorned with brooches atop the dress, and she added a polka-dot ascot and a wide-brimmed hat to the look.

The musician was a vision in her green jumpsuit, which was seemingly crafted from velvet. It had a plunging neckline with ruffles in a lighter shade, a satin belt around her waist, and long sleeves that complemented the garment's wide pant legs.

The all-black gown was both romantic and dramatic. Designed by Alessandro Michele for Valentino, the dress had a velvet bodice with long sleeves, feathers attached at the back of its neckline, and a full skirt with deep pleats.

Richardson might be an athlete, but she looked like a princess in her Valentino gown. It had a long-sleeved layer of lilac lace beneath a yellow gown, which was made from knotted pieces of fabric that created thin slits across her torso.

Versace designed his tan suit, which fit loosely but was still tailored just right for the musician. The contrast of his leather vest and felt hat really made the outfit, though.

Palmer's black-and-white ensemble took inspiration from Dorothy Dandridge and was crafted by Vera Wang. The designer made her a top with suit lapels acting as halter straps, a structured bodice, and large pieces of fabric that flowed over her hips.

The look also included black trousers, a feathered headpiece, and open-toed heels.

At first glance, the football star's Burberry suit was simple. But the black three-piece set actually had beaded shoulders that shone in the light. His tie was accessorized with a diamond pin, and his hat also added an old-school touch that matched the night's theme.

Zac Posen created the actor's custom pantsuit in the Gap Studio. Its fitted vest top had flowing sheer sleeves that moved with Harrier on the red carpet, and its wide-leg pants added a fun and dramatic touch.

Thompson turned heads with her coat-inspired dress. The piece was fitted at her waist but exaggerated at the hips, highlighting the tall leather boots she wore beneath it. Her accessories included a shiny tie and a top hat.

Union and Wade arrived in black-and-white Prada numbers. Union's dress' white train cinched her waist and flowed out behind her, while Wade's vest's textured detailing made his look stand out.

Kaling arrived in a custom Harbison Studio outfit, pairing a jacket that had white lapels with a form-fitting black skirt.

Large embellishments of different shapes lined the center of the skirt, and Kaling belted the outfit with a red and white sash that spilled out into a train behind her.

Scott played with color with his Met Gala suit, which was designed by Giuliva Heritage. He paired the Tiffany-blue suit with a red vest, mustard shirt, and teal and black tie, almost creating the colors of a retro diner. Flowers sat on his lapel for a fresh touch.

Washington's custom Simkhai look paired a jacket top, which dipped low in the center and had a cutout in the back, with a semi-sheer, pale-yellow skirt that flared to her ankles. A wide-brimmed pale-yellow hat and matching shoes completed the ensemble.

Stallion's custom Michael Kors gown was inspired by Josephine Baker and Eartha Kitt. The sparkly, silver dress had a sweetheart, halter neckline and hugged her figure, while her white coat train brought glamour to the ensemble.

Pharrell Williams designed Carpenter's pantless Louis Vuitton look, which featured a maroon bodysuit and a matching, cropped jacket with gold buttons and collar detailing.

Her platform heels were maroon, too.

Suki Waterhouse leaned into the menswear side of the Met Gala theme, as the bodice of her black Michael Kors dress was designed to look like a suit jacket. It contrasted with the floor-length skirt, which had a thigh-high slit, and open back.

Golding's Ozwald Boateng suit offered a fun play on the "Tailored For You" dress code, as the jacket, pants, and vest were gold, but the black shirt he wore with the look ensured the effect wasn't over the top.

Coach designed the actor and musician's black-and-white minidress. It was crafted in the shape of a blazer with exaggerated hips and worn over a sparkling silver bustier. She completed the look with platform heels and a mesh headpiece.

Even among the night's best-dressed stars, Turner-Smith stood out. She wore a custom Burberry catsuit with a subtle print beneath a long leather coat. Both pieces were burgundy in color, as were her top hat, heels, and lipstick.

Doechii's head-to-toe Louis Vuitton ensemble took a more playful approach to the Met Gala, as she paired a jacket patterned with the LV logo in white and gray with checked shorts in the same color.

The outfit exposed her maroon socks and shoes, matching the ascot she wore around her neck.

The tennis legend looked like a modern-day Cinderella in her custom Moncler look. She wore an off-the-shoulder gown in a shiny shade of blue and carried a puffer cape around her arms. Her hair was also styled in short waves, adding more elegance to the bold ensemble.

Magda Butrym designed Hammam's white jumpsuit. It was fitted at the top, which was designed like a blazer, but wider at the hips and legs to create a unique shape. She accessorized with a feathered cap, a polka-dot tie, and a cane.

The base of Edebiri's custom Ferragamo ensemble was a white dress with a collar, mimicking the look of a blouse. Red beading sat atop the garment, forming opposing arcs on the bodice and skirt.

Edebiri wore a black leather jacket atop the look that had ribbons of fabric floating down the sleeves like a train and a gold brooch on the lapel.

Ross had one of the biggest fashion moments of the night in her custom Eleven Sixteen look. It was comprised of a sparkle-covered dress, a large white hat, and a massive feather-lined cape embroidered with the names of her family members.

Dressed by Thom Browne, Tillman wore a classic dandy look. His outfit included pinstripe pants, a velvet suit jacket with long tails, and a bow tie attached to his white shirt.

Zendaya made her annual Met Gala appearance in a white suit and matching hat from Louis Vuitton, designed by Pharrell. Her stylist Law Roach said on Instagram that the look was inspired by Bianca Jagger in the 1970s.

McDonald wore a cream Harbison Studio gown that hugged her figure and featured bow detailing down the center. A detached train flowed out behind her, adding drama.

Williams' custom Lacoste ensemble, designed by the brand's creative director Pelagia Kolotouros, consisted of a green polo, a matching tennis skirt, and a coordinating coat dress that flared out behind her. Sparkly, pom-pom-like fabric adorned the jacket's sleeves and cuffs.

Henry walked the red carpet in a red suit designed by Orange Culture, a Nigerian fashion brand. He accessorized the bold suit with a patterned cape, black boots, and black gloves.

The bodice of Saldaña's Thom Browne dress was designed to look like a suit vest with pearl button detailing and a collar. The buttons continued onto the white skirt and adorned the sleeves, while a gravity-defying ribbon made the back pop.

Hadid's Miu Miu gown featured a halter neckline and gathered fabric around her waist. It was embroidered with gold embellishments, making it shine on the red carpet. Old Hollywood glam completed the look.

Powers' Boss suit played with pattern and shape, as it paired plaid, wide-legged trousers with a cropped black jacket.

He wore a striped suit and a polka dot tie, completing the playful ensemble with brooches on his lapel, a pocket square, and chain detailing across his blouse.

Biles' blue Harbison Studio dress felt like a modern take on dandyism, with its collar detailing, structured silhouette, and plethora of embellishments adorning the fabric.

The bow train that flowed out behind her was the perfect finishing touch.

Nyong'o arrived at the Met Gala in a teal Chanel suit. A semi-sheer cape was attached to her double-breasted jacket, and she also wore a flower on her lapel and a hat.

The actor stood out in a printed, colorful suit with jewel embellishments from Miu Miu. She wore the custom pieces over a black-and-white checkered shirt and a yellow ruffled tie.

The viral creator's gray pinstripe suit offered a classic silhouette, as did his hat and shoes. But an assortment of pocket watches adorned Lame's vest, and he wore a trench coat on only one shoulder, almost as if it was put on in a rush, evoking the idea of time with his ensemble.

Taylor wore a statement cape embellished with roses and crystal pins, a pinstripe suit, a diamond necklace over her corset, and a cane held in her gloved hands. Her ensemble was custom-made by Marc Jacobs.

Domingo's custom Valentino ensemble, with its ornate blue cape, paid tribute to André Leon Talley. He removed it, revealing a gray, black, and white suit with contrasting textures and an oversize flower on the lapel.

Hamilton sported a custom Wales Bonner suit in a cream shade, a matching hat, and an assortment of Briony Raymond jewelry crafted with rubies.

Jones arrived in a Manish Malhotra coat dress that plunged to her navel and coordinating pants. Sparkly beading adorned the ensemble, and Jones carried a cane for a fun flair on the red carpet.

Cher stole the show at the 1974 Met Gala in a sheer Bob Mackie dress that shimmered from head to toe. The long-sleeved gown featured feathers and strategically placed silver sparkles.

The gown inspired the Peter Dundas dress Kim Kardashian wore to the Met Gala in 2015.

Gianni Versace designed Campbell's strapless silver gown; the model accompanied Versace to that year's gala.

"I loved this dress. It was slim-fitting and body-hugging, and it just glistened," Campbell said in a video for Vogue. "I remember when I saw this dress for the first time. It seemed like one of those dresses that you read in those fairy-tale books."

Princess Diana's Met Gala debut came shortly after finalizing her divorce from then-Prince Charles.

And she made sure to make an entrance in a silk navy-blue slip dress designed by John Galliano to pay tribute to the year's theme in honor of Christian Dior.

Royal biographer Katie Nicholl wrote in her book, "William and Harry," that Diana worried the daring dress might embarrass Prince William, who was 14 years old at the time.

Sarah Jessica Parker asked McQueen to attend the 2006 Met Gala, which was themed "AngloMania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion," after deciding to wear a dress by the legendary British designer.

Parker told Vogue in 2022 that she was nervous to attend the event with McQueen because she admired his work, which made it difficult to enjoy the gala.

"It wasn't a fun night. Like, it was, but it wasn't because I was so nervous. I just wanted him to be OK," she told Vogue.

Parker also told Vogue she saved every pin and piece of fabric McQueen touched during their dress fittings.

Ricci captured the "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" theme at the 2008 Met Gala with her outfit, nodding to the iconic superhero uniform silhouette.

Her sheer pink gown revealed a red leotard underneath, while the back of the dress had a red star attached to its belt.

She accessorized the dress with a matching red clutch and kept her hair and makeup simple, allowing the gown to fully shine.

Beyoncé's sheer black Givenchy gown featured a plunging neckline, a thigh-high slit, and head-to-toe sparkles.

Ty Hunter, Beyoncé's stylist, told Business Insider that the dress, made by Riccardo Tisci, was inspired by Diana Ross.

"It was simple but elegant," Hunter told BI while reflecting on Beyoncé's Met Gala looks. "In person, it was so beautiful. A lot of times, the pictures don't really give justice to the garment. It was delicate and just really, really strong. I love that look."

Beyoncé upped the glamour with dark-red lips and a netted veil, while Jay-Z opted for a classic white tuxedo. The couple would make headlines that same night after a video captured Solange Knowles, Beyoncé's sister, attacking Jay-Z in an elevator.

Rihanna often stands out at the event, but her 2015 look is among her most memorable Met Gala outfits. The singer wore a custom couture cape dress by Guo Pei for the "China: Through the Looking Glass" theme.

The Fenty founder told Access Hollywood in 2020 that she circled the Met three times before getting out of the car because she was scared people would laugh at her for "doing too much."

"I was driving past the red carpet and I was just seeing gowns," she recalled. "I was like, 'Oh my God, I'm a clown, people are gonna laugh at me."

Instead, Rihanna was praised for the showstopping look and named best-dressed of the night by numerous outlets.

Solange skipped the traditional gown and opted for a unique minidress by British fashion designer Giles Deacon. The sculptural dress featured a futuristic print.

"It gave the illusion of a fan," Solange told Refinery29 in 2017. "I wanted to be as respectful as possible to the theme."

Beyoncé's sheer Givenchy dress was the ultimate naked dress of the night, as it matched the color of her skin and featured strategically placed gems.

Though Beyoncé dominated the Met steps, Ty Hunter told BI that he "did not leave her side" throughout the night because the dress was heavy.

"As light as it looked — she looks like she's butt naked, but she's not — it was the heaviest dress," he said. "Normally, I get her to the front, she goes off, and then I'll sit down somewhere. But this night, I never really left."

Beyoncé paired the ensemble with a high ponytail, ensuring the dress was the focal point of her outfit. It was the perfect way to steal the show after her elevator scandal with Jay-Z dominated headlines the year prior.

Vera Wang designed Grande's strapless gown, which had a corset bodice and ruffled skirt made from layers of tulle.

The dress looked stunning on its own, but Grande's styling elevated the look even further. She wore it with delicate diamond earrings, a tan bow atop her head, and glowing makeup that matched the shades of her dress.

Designed by John Galliano, her outfit included a white strapless dress covered in beads and pearls, a pleated skirt that wrapped around her waist, and a matching coat decorated with the same embellishments.

Her accessories also stood out, from her pearl headdress to her statement necklaces.

Versace designed Boseman's five-piece outfit. It included a sheer button-up shirt, a cream-colored vest, a matching blazer, a long overcoat, and trousers in the same shade.

Gold crosses and ornate patches decorated the garment, which matched the year's theme, "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination."

Versace also designed Zendaya's Met Gala look, which consisted of a flowing silver gown covered in sparkles. It had long sleeves, a tall slit in its skirt, and a train that glided along the floor behind her.

The armor-style pieces Zendaya wore around her waist, neck, and shoulders gave the dress a unique edge. She also wore platform silver sandals, diamond rings, and a red-toned bob haircut.

Cardi B walked the red carpet in 2018 wearing a glittering gown designed by Moschino. It had a scooped neckline, a form-fitting bodice that showed her baby bump, and a thigh-high slit.

The dress also featured a detachable, crystal-adorned, satin skirt that wrapped around the singer's waist. She completed her outfit with a matching headband and thick layered pearl necklaces.

Following the year's "Camp: Notes on Fashion" theme, Musgraves arrived in a hot-pink Moschino ensemble that made her look exactly like the famous doll.

She wore a leather jacket-style gown, silver pumps, and a blonde wig. She also carried a fuzzy pink shawl, Barbie-esque sunglasses, and a purse shaped like a hairdryer.

Gaga was also a co-chair for the 2019 gala, and she embraced her role by wearing four different Maison Schiaparelli looks on the pink carpet.

She started her appearance in a pink gown, unveiling layers until she was in a coordinating underwear set and fishnet tights. Gaga also added high-end jewelry to her look as it transformed.

Porter wore all gold to the 2019 Met Gala, wearing a gold jumpsuit called "The Sun God" from The Blonds with coordinating 10-foot wings.

Six shirtless men in gold pants carried him into the gala, adding to the drama of his look.

Zendaya and her stylist, Law Roach, wore coordinating Tommy Hilfiger ensembles that resembled the outfits Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother wear in Disney's "Cinderella."

Zendaya's blue dress — which she paired with a carriage-shaped purse — lit up when Roach pointed a magic wand at it, creating an interactive moment on the red carpet.

Jenner paid homage to Audrey Hepburn's performance as Eliza Doolittle in "My Fair Lady," as her gown had the same silhouette but was almost entirely transparent.

Sparkly stars covered the gown, and an oversize choker on Jenner's neck created the illusion of a high neckline.

The supermodel wore Harris Reed to the gala, donning a gold jumpsuit and a feather-tiered hoop skirt.

An oversize, circular headpiece coordinated with the gown, floating around Iman's head like a massive halo.

The halter-style gown hung tight on Kravitz, and the dress was see-through, apart from the chains making up the silhouette.

Her silver underwear was visible as she walked the Met Gala red carpet.

Blake Lively's custom Versace dress for the "In America: An Anthology of Fashion" gala was modeled after the Statue of Liberty.

The mosaic-patterned gown had a massive bow on one side made of copper-colored material, which unfurled to reveal teal fabric, just as the statue changed hue over time.

The Met Gala co-chair also switched gloves when she untied the bow to match the changing fabric.

For the 2022 Met Gala, Ripley's! Believe It or Not lent Kim Kardashian the Jean Louis dress Monroe wore to serenade President John F. Kennedy for his birthday in 1962.

The sheer dress is covered in sparkly embellishments, and because of its delicate nature, Kardashian only wore it for her short walk on the red carpet. She went to extreme lengths to wear it.

Hathaway walked the "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty" red carpet in a tweed gown that hugged her figure. The white-and-gold dress had a curved cutout that ran the length of the garment and turned into a slit, with gold pins pinching the sides together.

Hathaway carried a coordinating jacket on her shoulder to complete the chic look.

The rapper wore an all-white look to the gala, pairing his avant-garde suit with a detached 26-foot train made of oversize rosettes.

The strapless minidress had a gold bodice that spilled into a bubble skirt, with silver tassels and sequins flowing out from the bottom.

A sheer, brown train attached to the back of the gown, matching with a see-through veil that covered Yai's eyes.

The singer leaned into the time aspect of the event's dress code, "The Garden of Time," for her Met Gala debut.

Her strapless Balmain dress was covered entirely in sand. It hugged her silhouette and flowed out into a train for added drama.

Tyla also carried an hourglass instead of a purse.

Mona Patel, a philanthropist and entrepreneur, also made her Met Gala debut in 2024, tapping Law Roach to style her custom Iris van Herpen look, which had a butterfly motif.

The bodice of Patel's oatmeal dress was shaped like a butterfly and accented by panels of sheer lace lining the sides. Scallops of fabric covered the gown's dramatic train.

To complete the look, Patel wore butterfly arm cuffs that flapped their wings as she walked the red carpet.

Balmain designed Fanning's form-fitting gown to transform her into a glass statue.

The off-the-shoulder neckline flowed into ruching on her stomach and down to an asymmetrical, flared skirt that had a subtle slit to allow her to walk. Birds on her shoulders appeared to be holding up the dress.

As the actor told Vogue at the gala, Fanning wanted the look to honor Sleeping Beauty, whom she played in "Maleficent."

Cartier jewelry completed the look.

Domingo arrived at the "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style"-themed Met Gala in a blue cape with an ornate gold shoulder piece atop it. The cape, designed by Valentino, honored the late, legendary fashion journalist André Leon Talley, who wore a similar cape to the 2011 Met Gala.

On the red carpet, Domingo removed the cape, revealing gray trousers and a black-and-white checked jacket. He also wore a white vest, a striped blouse, and a black-and-white polka dot tie. He finished the look with a large flower that coordinated with the tie.

Ross returned to the Met Gala red carpet for the first time since 2003 in a custom Eleven Sixteen ensemble.

The sleeves of her sparkly silver gown were attached to her show-stopping white cape coat, which had an 18-foot train embroidered with silver detailing and trimmed with feathered fabric.

A large, feathered hat completed the dramatic outfit.

"Wicked" costume designer Paul Tazewell helped design Monáe's custom Thom Browne outfit, which offered two looks in one.

Like Domingo, Monáe arrived in a cape, though hers was designed to look like a person wearing a suit and holding a briefcase in front of a red backdrop.

She removed the cape as she walked the red carpet, revealing a suit with the same color scheme and an actual briefcase. Monáe also wore a hat and monocle, embracing the accessories that often define dandyism.
