The Oscars of fashion aka the MET Gala is all set to embrace the first Monday of May the iconic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The theme for this year is 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion' and an official dress code of 'The Garden of Time' promises to inspire creativity and innovation from the attendees, who will no doubt pull out all the stops to interpret the theme in their unique ways. While we cannot wait for the standouts this year, here's a look at controversies that surrounded the MET in the past.
Doja Cat Vaping
Kim Kardashian's Marilyn Monroe moment at the MET Gala 2022 was the most talked about look. Some praised the Business Mogul for the way she carried the 60-year-old heritage while some were not happy and thought it was an insult to the legend. The reality TV star was also under fire for allegedly destroying the outfit Marilyn wore when she sang on President John F. Kennedy's birthday in 1962. However, a rep for Ripley's 'Believe It or Not!', who bought the dress for USD 4.8 million in 2016 denied the same. Amanda Joiner, Ripley's Vice President of Publishing and Licensing, who was with Kim and the dress the entire day of The Met, said, "From the bottom of the Met steps, where Kim got into the dress, to the top where it was returned, the dress was in the same condition it started in."
Rihanna as the Pope
The theme for 2018's Met Gala was 'Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination'. In consideration of it, headpieces were the highlights of the night. Pop queen Rihanna raised brows for her John Galliano for Maison Margiela outfit that resembled the Pope. Many found the ensemble to be offensive and disrespectful to religion. "It feels expensive; it's heavy. They beaded this by hand... It would be a sin not to wear it," Rihanna said in an interview on the red carpet
