The Met Gala is traditionally an evening of bold fashion choices and closer-to-runway looks worn by the world’s biggest stars. And while, in the last few years, some of the celebrity elite played it a bit safe, last night the sartorial gates were thrown open, and some absolutely over-the-top grandiose and gorgeous looks strolled through.
The red carpet photographers were spot-on as per usual, shooting thousands of full length, high-resolution images of the guests as they strolled the carpet, but behind the scenes, over on the voyeuristic social media that is Instagram, many of the stars’ captured their own photos for their fans and followers.
From shots of the guys and gals getting ready, to the car ride over (that’s a lot of tulle and train to fit in one vehicle), to selfies shot with their besties, here are some of the most double-tappable behind-the-scenes Met Gala posts on Instagram.
