Met Gala sexiest gowns from Kim Kardashian's 'wet' dress to Lady Gaga striptease

The Met Gala ball formally referred to as the Costume Institute Benefit is known to be one of the most fashion-focused events in the celebrity calendar.

The ceremony that usually takes place every year is an extravagant fundraising event that aims to raise money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.

The Gala offers the biggest names in showbiz the chance to showcase their most daring, iconic and often outlandish stylised pieces of clothing on the star-studded red carpet, with celebrities going all out for the invite-only occasion.

As well as fashion, the Met Gala has often hit headlines for celebrities doing the most extravagant things while on the carpet.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s event will definitely make up for lost time, as organisers have decided to run the gala across two separate dates.

Just like every other year, the Gala will be a themed event, giving celebrities and designers the chance to interpret the theme the best way they know how.

As the date of the ball slowly creeps upon us, Daily Star has taken a look back at the most rememberable and best dress outfits from celebrities over the years.
