It was the biggest costume party of the year! On May 5, well-heeled celebs did their best to dress according to the instructions on the invite…well, some of them did! Read on to get the details on everyone who played by the rules and followed the ‘China: Through the Looking Glass’ theme! Who do you think rocked the best inspired frock?
The 2015 Met Gala red carpet was flush with Chinese-inspired gowns and outfits! Some stars, such as Jennifer Lawrence, 24, opted for florals, while others, like Rita Ora, 24, rocked a bold red hue, which symbolizes good fortune and joy in Chinese culture. We applaud the celebs who supported the theme — after all, the ball is intended to celebrate the opening of the new exhibit at the Met museum!

Can you say gorgeous?! Kim and Jennifer brought their A-game to the 2015 Met Gala in barely-there ball gowns that totally showed off their famous butts. Pretty racy, ladies!
We expected Kim Kardashian, 34, and Jennifer Lopez, 45, and Beyoncé, 32 to show up at the 2015 Met Gala in New York City on May 4 looking completely stunning, but we didn’t exactly expect this. All three superstars have one big thing in common — and they know how to use it, and use it well. Their beautiful, intricate gowns at the event left little to the imagination, and pitted the ladies in the battle of the booty. They all looked amazing!

Bow down, fashion lovers! Queen Bey redefined being fashionably late when she arrived in a seriously sheer gown as she made her way up the steps for the 2015 Met Gala — and she took to Instagram to share a slew of sexy shots of her show-stopping look! This sexy ensemble is totally worthy of a retweet.
World stop! Fans were freaking out, (us included), before  Beyonce  arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the 2015 Met Gala… but to our relief she made a fashionably late appearance, and it was even sexier than we could’ve imagined! Holy body! What do you think of her look?

Selena arrived to the Met Ball on May 4 on the earlier side and luckily she narrowly avoided what could have been the most awkward moment ever — seeing her Justin Bieber for the first time in months!
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are officially under one roof! The famous exes arrived to the 2015 Met Ball at the Metropolitan Museum of Art within 20 minutes of each other but even though they didn’t see each other on the red carpet, they are bound to cross paths inside the gala.

Could Selena and Justin be gearing up for a totally awkward reunion at the 2015 Met Ball on May 4?! The high-profile event probably isn’t the best place for the exes’ tumultuous relationship, but all signs point to this: They might both be attending!
There’s always something new going on in Justin Bieber, 21, and Selena Gomez’s, 22, relationship, but for the most part, they’ve managed to avoid each other in public since their early 2013 split — until now, perhaps. In fact, there’s a good chance that both Selena and the Biebs will be attending the highly-anticipated Met Ball on May 4! Could a HUGE awkward reunion/showdown be in the exes’ future?!

Rihanna really stepped up her fashion game when she stepped onto the red carpet at the 2014 Met Ball. She traded in her see-through gown from the iHeartRadio Music Awards for a tight white, backless crop top with matching skirt! What did you think of her look on May 5?
She doesn’t need a man on her arm to look good — Rihanna attended the 2014 Costume Institute Benefit solo, where she was definitely shining bright like a diamond! She celebrated the opening of the new exhibit, “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, wearing a stunning bright white Stella McCartney top and skirt, showing off her flat stomach and toned back. She definitely went braless, and you could see everything. The “Stay” singer still looked stunning!

It’s no secret that Taylor and Selena haven’t been on speaking terms lately, so it might be more than a little bit uncomfortable if the two stars collide at the 2014 Met Ball in NYC on May 5. And that’s not even the ONLY potential awkward run-in of the night — Taylor will probably be steering clear of ex Jake Gyllenhaal while Selena will no doubt stay as far away as possible from ex-pal Kendall Jenner.
Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have been avoiding each other at all costs ever since the “Come & Get It” singer ignored Tay’s advice and reunited with her bad boy ex Justin Bieber in early March. But now that Selena and Justin have already split, perhaps the Met Ball will be the perfect opportunity for Selena to get back together with her true better half — Taylor!  

In ‘Downton Abbey’ you aren’t allowed at the dinner table without your tails — and it looks like the same will go for the 2014 Met Gala! We can’t wait to see the famous men in attendance, (like Kanye!), suit up and adhere to the dress code — can you?
While last year to fete the opening of the “PUNK:Chaos to Couture,” exhibit a slew of the looks on the red carpet were better suited for a rock concert, this year it’s about a return to formality — and it isn’t just the ladies that will have to make sure their outfit is appropriate and fits the “Charles James: Beyond Fashion,” theme of the 2014 Costume Institute gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5 in NYC. In fact, the men need to follow along with the dress code, too! Vogue’s editrix, Anna Wintour, called for the dapper dudes in attendance to be outfitted in “white tie and decorations,” reports WWD — and that goes for every male in attendance, to the celebs and the designers to polite dates.
