Supermodel @liuwenlw chose a denim that’s both falling apart and put-together by @off____white, an homage to CDG’s past collection that was denim. @grimes was in @proenzaschouler ‘s floating hems, and it was defo blue-heart-emoji all around with @traceeellisross ‘s @commesdesgarcon dress. Next, an ode to the beauties. #RuthNegga was statuesque in her bohemian-chic @maisonvalentino, as was @rubyrose in her #MetGala2017 debut, wearing a @burberry ruffle frock. The newly bald @caradelevigne can do no wrong in her sleek and shiny evening @chanelofficial suit; the masculine-opposite to @haileybaldwin ‘s @houseofherrera delicate ballerina gown and ‘do! 

First, let’s take a look at those who did pay attention to the theme this #MetGala2017. @lilycollins wore @giambattistavalliparis making it her own, tapping into her dark side as she showed off her edgy-girly style. 

The men weren’t all bad themselves. @donaldglover_ a.k.a. @childishgambino became the master of the sartorial swerve with his @burberry patterned tux, and let’s not forget @diddy ‘s quick swag-break on the stairs of #MetGala2017in his @rickowensonline suit and @louboutinworld shoes. Want avant-garde? How about @c.syresmith in his simple @louisvuitton suit, clutching his cut-off dreadlocks as an accessory? And @pharell though, in his @commedesgarcons plaid shirt, black moto jacket, and custom vintage jeans that read “Rei” across the knee. 

Best Dressed - “It’s actually very easy; it’s like bootie shorts, and you buckle on some snaps…” And just like that, we were all starstruck-staring like @azizansari. Need we say more? Without a doubt, @badgalriri lived up to her streak and made the theme proud that #MetGala2017 night, wearing her @commedesgarcons Fall’16 collection. When asked about how she defines avant-garde, she answers “I think it’s such a free range of expression; and you can do whatever you want within that space.”
