The Met Gala might be postponed but there is absolutely no reason that we should not be going crazy over the fashion breakthroughs it has managed to deliver, year after year. Recently, Vogue had a Virtual Met Gala celebration and on its occasion, we are here reminiscing all the times the Met Gala changed our lives…
1. The ‘Heavenly Bodies’ theme brought out Rihanna in religious aesthetics and honestly, the richness of it all couldn’t have been pulled off by any one less heavenly.

Not only is that gown absolutely stunning, but we’re also here wondering how many people could lay down in it and use it as a fancy blanket. Right now, our bets are on 4 people.

Um, lest we forget. The upcoming baby’s mama was once a burger. No biggie. Photo Credit: Kevin Tachman/MG19 / Contributor 8. Priyanka Chopra doing camp and doing it right! Might we just add that the silver eyelashes look so very ethereal. Photo Credit: Theo Wargo / Staff 9. The time when Met said “China” and Kanye showed up… well, in this. If you look closely, I think he’s saying — “Save me!” Photo Credit: Mike Coppola / Staff 10. But no worries, we’re here to show you that Kanye redeemed himself during the ‘Manus x Machina’ themed Met Gala. He wore coloured lenses and we also have to point out that the expression on his face actually added to the look! Photo Credit: Daniele Venturelli / Contributor
