The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala is a much-anticipated event that draws big names and lots of fabulous looks. This year’s soiree, held May 6, was particularly exciting because the theme was punk, to complement the museum’s current fashion exhibit, “Punk: Chaos to Couture,” which runs from May 9–Aug. 14.
Jewelry trends included layers and more layers of bracelets and rings, as well as spike motifs and hair jewels.
Here’s the skinny on who wore what designers and styles.
