## 2008: Zoe Kravitz

I don't think I've ever seen a dress credit for this. It feels like she got it at a vintage and/or costume shop. The theme was Superheroes, so maybe she was Captain Sustainable. This is very early on, and I think you can see some of the fit and glam lessons she's since learned.

## 2010: Zoe Kravitz in Alexander Wang for The Gap

Oh, God, I wonder who's gonna bring Alex Wang back into the fold THIS year. Sigh. This was "American Woman: Fashioning A National Identity," and I guess is... a tribute to pants? Zzz. It's very her, but maybe not for this party.

## 2011: Zoe Kravitz in Derek Lam

The McQueen/Savage Beauty exhibit may have been a tough one if you weren't wearing McQueen. I like this on her and kinda wish she'd bust it out for something else soon. It'd be a very compelling re-wear.

## 2012: Lena Dunham in Wes Gordon

The pink shoes are a nod to Schiaparelli, which was half of the theme. Wes currently designs Carolina Herrera, where I think he's done a brilliant job. This is less polished, but also it was 14 years ago, so. It's cute on her and a strong color combo.

## 2013: Lena Dunham in Erdem

"PUNK: Chaos to Couture" is the theme, and I don't see it? Maybe the argument is that anything semi-frilly but also black is PUNK. I'm not buying. It works on her, though, at least and she IS the primary customer.

## 2014: Lena in Giambattista Valli

Perhaps a bit under-styled when it comes to accessories, but the dress is cute. (This was the Charles James year.)

## 2014: Zoe Kravitz in Topshop

She really does look... just SO DIFFERENT when she's blond. I'm glad she's gotten away from it, because it makes her more generic.

## 2015: Zoe Kravitz in Alexander Wang

Here we're starting to get to the heart of Zoe's taste -- she loves sleek and she loves sheer.

## 2016: Zoe Kravitz in Valentino

Those shoes look potentially fatal, though obviously she survived them. For Manus x Machina I assume the mask was the Machina part. She wore a very similar one in a photoshoot that I used to have as my desktop photo.

## 2016: Lena Dunham in J Crew

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-527423244-1777591448.jpg)

So, this year, she and Jenni Konner and Jenna Lyons all showed up in the same J. Crew tux but with different styling -- you can see Jenni and a bit of Jenna in the back here -- and that is such a fun idea. AND it works on Lena.

## 2016: Misty Copeland in Jason Wu

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-527558006-1777591392.jpg)

At the time I said, "I wish this felt like a completed thought," and I still do. We are still waiting.

## 2016: Elizabeth Debicki in Prada

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-527467036-1777591410.jpg)

NEW YORK, NY - MAY 02: Elizabeth Debicki attends the "Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology" Costume Institute Gala at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 2, 2016 in New York City. (Photo by John Shearer/Getty Images)

This gown is so pretty, and really unexpected from Prada. At a certain point I do have to stop worrying about the theme, because whatever. But it seems very daytime to me; that's my primary note here. In isolation I would NEVER have guessed this was a Met Gala gown.

## 2017: Zoe Kravitz in Oscar de la Renta

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-675669570-1777591336.jpg)

We have some from "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between" now! I enjoy this conceptually but I do feel like she's really just IN it, rather than it being a seamless pairing of wearer and dress.

## 2017: Lena Dunham in Elizabeth Kennedy

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-682785626-1777591355.jpg)

I love ALL of this. It might be her personal best.

## 2018: Zoe Kravitz in Saint Laurent

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-955815706-1777591277.jpg)

NEW YORK, NY - MAY 07: Zoe Kravitz attends the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 7, 2018 in New York City. (Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images)

I believe this is the start of her Saint Laurent era, and it's not my favorite partnership. This was the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination gala, and I don't think they got past "heavenly bodies." \[WAIT someone reminded me that a mantilla is not just a veil but has an actual link to prayer, which I totally forgot. So it counts! This definitely evokes a mantilla.\]

## 2018: Lena Dunham in Ronald Van Der Kemp

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-955783474-1777591295.jpg)

In her words, [per the Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/08/style/cocktail-parties-met-gala.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#:~:text=In%20trundled%20Lena%20Dunham%20in,'Elizabeth%3A%20The%20Golden%20Age'%20thing.), "I said I wanted to look a little Joan of Arc-y but I think what’s happened is more of an ‘Elizabeth: The Golden Age’ thing. I kept saying by way of Spencer’s Gifts, but no one got it." She DEFINITELY did not get Joan and definitely DID get Liz. Very odd.

## 2019: Zoe Kravitz in Saint Laurent

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-1147528298-1777591938.jpg)

This was the Camp theme, so I'll give it to her.

## 2019: Elizabeth Debicki in Ferragamo

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-1141874583-1777591954.jpg)

I get a kick out of this. ESEPCIALLY now that it feels like Dior makes her the same dress over and over.

## 2019: Lena Dunham in Christopher Kane

Well, it's campy!

## 2019: Paloma Elsesser in Brock Collection

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/05/GettyImages-1141872780-1777603017.jpg)

The makeup says Disney Villain; the dress says Cinderella's fairy godmother quit on her and the mice had to improv.

## 2021: Teyana Taylor in Prabal Gurung

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-1340230930-1777591850.jpg)

For "In America: A Lexicon Of Fashion," Teyana went super naked. Which I guess DOES feel like one of our enduring contributions to the world. I don't love this. Honestly the makeup might be the weirdest bit.

## 2021: Zoe Kravitz in Saint Laurent

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-1340827207-1777591866.jpg)

This was full crack in the back, and once again suggests that much of America's dialogue with fashion involves nudity.

## 2021: Rebecca Hall in Batsheva

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-1340128034-1777591883.jpg)

This is the TOTAL OPPOSITE. I laughed out loud when I saw it, especially in that particular progression.

## 2022: Teyana Taylor in Iris Van Herpen

This was the Gilded Glamour one, and while she looks dramatic in a way that I enjoy, that headgear absolutely looks like a crazy prescription.

## 2022: Elizabeth Debicki in Dior

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-1395076719-1777591815.jpg)

THIS almost feels like Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, because it's very angelic.

## 2022; Sabrina Carpenter in Paco Rabanne

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-1395063896-1777591832.jpg)

She had five albums by this point, or was about to, but people mostly knew her from whether or not she was "that blond girl who always makes me doubt" from Olivia Rodrigo's "Driver's License." I appreciate how HUGE and dramatic this, especially as someone who wasn't nearly on the radar the way she is now.

## 2022: Paloma Elsesser in Coach

This feels like a rough draft.

## 2023: Teyana Taylor in Thom Browne

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-1486935400-1777591748.jpg)

This is a very clear tribute to Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel. She LOVES a bodysuit and a hip hole, for reasons I cannot fathom. Does she not use bathrooms? Anyway, this was ALSO the year she snuck Chick-Fil-A into the gala and ate it at the table.

## 2023: Doja Cat in Oscar de la Renta

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-1252515661-1777591899.jpg)

Doja Cat came dressed as Karl Lagerfeld's cat. It's... so literal. And she just seems like *Cats* in motion. I think it's funny and the dress is beautiful, but I also weirdly never want to see it again?

## 2023: Gwendoline Christie in Fendi

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-1486949135-1777591730.jpg)

I like Gwen getting to be in something romantic and swoony, because she was so known as a warrior on Game of Thrones, but I want to scream at those shoes.

## 2024: Gwen Christie in Maison Margiela

This was Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, and THAT IS impressive bedhead. She looks bonkers in a way I find utterly delightful.

## 2024: Doja Cat in Vetements

It's a wet t-shirt. I hate it.

## 2024: Elizabeth Debicki in Dior

I want this to be a different color.

## 2024: Sabrina Carpenter in Oscar de la Renta

I totally forgot she was dating Barry Keoghan and I think they launched on Instagram in a Getting Ready video before this event. I see the Cinderella inspiration, but the makeup is terrible. Actually, the dress isn't my favorite either.

## 2024: Rebecca Hall in Danielle Frankel

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-2151781500-1777591647.jpg)

She said the idea here was "resuscitated Ophelia," which I suppose ticks the "reawakened" box? I actually quite like it.

## 2024: Teyana Taylor in The Blonds

That is one messy wig. It's like Refried Patsy Stone.

## 2024: Paloma Elsesser in H&M

This is like Ursula the Sea Witch meets low-cost bedding.

## 2024: Sam Smith in Christian Cowan

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/05/GettyImages-2152411357-1777602938.jpg)

Sam and Christian are dating, and the flower is a nod to something Cowan gave to Sam early in their relationship (you can see Cowan in the background in a white version of this). I wish the skirt did anything for me; it feels very much like an afterthought. But I like the romantic touch.

## 2025: Sam Smith in (and with) Christian Cowan

I LOVE the jewelry. The coat keeps reading tutu, though.

## 2025: Paloma Elsesser in Ferragamo

This is a sultry take on a coat dress.

## 2025: Alex Consani

This is VERY precisely done.

## 2025: Sabrina in Louis Vuitton

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/04/GettyImages-2213123606-1777591581.jpg)

This is the one where LV famously told her she was too short for pants, or somesuch. It's a shame, because it's GREAT, and imagine if they'd pushed it further with trousers and a top hat.

## 2025: Lisa in Louis Vuitton

And what's the excuse here?!?

## 2025: Doja Cat in Marc Jacobs

This is an extremely campy take on the same concept, albeit not the same design house. I'm not sure how well it works, in the end.

## 2025: Angela Bassett in Burberry

Somehow this was her first time at the Met?!? At least, if my Google was correct. What a way to start. Also, she looks so much like Keke Palmer in this photo that I might have assumed that's who it was, without the caption. (It is definitely Angela.)

## 2025: Teyana Taylor in Ruth E Carter
