It's the first Monday in May, and that can only mean one thing in the fashion world—the annual Met Gala has officially begun! With this year's theme 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line in Beauty', A-listers in the fashion and celebrity world come together at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City to celebrate a new exhibit that will showcase the best of renowned fashion designer, the late Karl Lagerfeld's work.

Our fashion appetites were satisfied yet again, what with ensemble after ensemble proving worthy of the high fashion theme. A sea of black and white arrived on the Met Gala (blue, red, and white) carpet, as expected, each with his or her own designer interpretation of what the Karl Lagerfeld aesthetic stands for. No Met Gala is complete though, without the stars opting for outrageous, show-stopping looks! In all of Met Gala history, there are those that have taken bigger risks to be remembered, with their out of this world choices for hair and makeup.
