Chers’s feathered sequin bodysuit. Rihanna’s canary-yellow train. The SJP headpiece that sparked a million memes—if you’re up on your red carpet history, you know we’re reliving the best of the Met Gala. Once a year, our favorite celebs make their way up the stairs of New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art for fashion’s big night out, which welcomes a unique expression of total sartorial creativity. Every A-lister attendee brings out their biggest guns for the ball, donning the most high-glam, avant-garde buzzed-about outfits that live on well after the carriage turns back into a pumpkin and the fashion night comes to a close.

Ahead of this year’s “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”-themed Met Gala on May 7, we’re bringing you a gallery of 115 of the most iconic dresses to grace the famed museum steps in years past. A walk down the greatest red carpet memory lane, ahead.
