15 of the Best, Most Iconic Met Gala Looks by LGBTQ+ Celebs Over the Years
These LGBTQ+ celebs absolutely slayed the Met Gala red carpet over the past several years!

Every year the Met Gala gives some of the world’s brightest celebrities the chance to show what they do best: look hot in great clothes. And god, are we thankful for that!
With a different theme every year – ranging from The Catholic Imagination, to Camp, to China, to Karl Lagerfeld – we get a chance to see some truly mind-blowing and creative looks that we probably wouldn’t see anywhere else.
Of course, it’s only natural that queer celebs would slay the event and understand the assignment. Unburdened by the pressures of conforming to a cishet society, queer celebs can truly let their artistic and creative selves soar at the Met Gala.
