The Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art has played host to a number of red carpet rebels over the years. Katy Perry famously lit up the night with her dress of 3,000 LEDs in 2010, and who could forget Marc Jacobs’s outrageous chic Comme des Garçons lace look in 2012? And yet there is a sub section of stylish dressers who subvert the rules in more subtle ways Enter the theme rejectors. Over the years, a number of stars have ignored the Met Gala’s dress code and marched to the beat of their own drum like when Jennifer Love Hewitt wore a marabou feathered ball skirt to the 1999 rock and roll themed gala. Below, Vogue is rounding up the 66 best moments where individuality ruled.
Kicking off from the 2010s, the American Woman exhibit in 2010 saw British star Emma Watson chose to fly her own flag, outfitted in an anglo appropriate Burberry dress. A few years later, the theme rejectors came out in droves for 2014’s punk theme. Jennifer Lawrence made the case for subdued elegance over anarchy gracing the museum stairs in Raf Simons’s modern reinterpretation of Christian Dior’s New Look. Kate Upton’s emerald green Diane von Furstenberg dress was anything but chaotic, and Katy Perry’s byzantine ensemble by Dolce & Gabbana seemed to predate the punk movement by several hundred years.
