The Met Gala was first organized and presided over by Anna Wintour in 1995 and is recognized as one of fashion's biggest nights. It also functions as a fundraiser for the Costume Institute and aligns with the opening of its annual fashion exhibition.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams showed up in a custom Moncler look with sheer panels, metallic threads, and a silver cape -- and later called Rihanna her highlight of the night.
