While we wait with bated breath for the 2024 Met Gala, I thought I’d tide you over with a little walk down memory lane. The celebrity photo agency Getty Images has a neat feature where you can sort images by “most popular,” meaning photos with the highest number of downloads. I used this to find the top Met Gala red carpet look from each year of the past decade.

To no one’s surprise, for instance, the most popular image from the 2022 Met Gala was Kim Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe’s iconic naked dress—a fashion moment that will go down in the history books for better or worse. Going back to the 2017 Met Gala, the most downloaded photo featured Zendaya wearing a colorful Dolce & Gabbana gown. Scroll down to revisit the most popular Met Gala red carpet looks of the past decade.
