The most expected day in the fashion calendar arrived and it came packed with a punch. As customary, the first Monday of May serves for the prestigious Met Gala. This event celebrates the opening of the Costume Institute’s yearly exhibition, and its red carpet has become one of the most-watched events of the year. Their latest exhibition: “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between,” examines the work of the Japanese designer during her 40 years in the fashion industry. 

Although it’s always hard to choose favorites on such exclusive red carpet, we picked the most memorable looks which include a lot of red, geometric shapes, and avant-garde silhouettes.
