The Met Gala, which always takes place on the first Monday in May, has already begun to trend on Twitter, although the event has yet to begin. Still, many were discussing who they hoped to see and looked back on their favorite, and least favorite looks from Met Gala’s past. Many fans took the time to showcase their favorite looks altogether, and there are a few fan favorites. For instance, many loved the “Heavenly Bodies” theme from 2018. This was a rare year that seemed to have no disappointments from fans, which is rare.

Speaking of disappointments, Twitter is not shy of sharing who they think holds the candle for the worst looks. First, many fans hate it when people arrive in something boring, which typically happens when men arrive in a suit only, this is especially disappointing as the night is known as “Fashion’s Biggest Night.” Fans online were also not shy to share their list of who was worst dressed in the past.

On TikTok, many were making predictions as to who they believed would be attending this year’s Met Gala and what they would be wearing. This year’s theme is Gilded Glamour, referring to a time period between the 1870s and 1890s in New York. During this time period, many were wealthy, so people are expecting fashion to show off wealth, especially with bustles and corsets.
