The first Monday in May is upon us, aka the Met Gala, and this year, the stars all paid tribute to the dramatic, avant-garde style of Japanese fashion designer and honoree Rei Kawakubo. Only the second Costume Institute exhibition to honor a living designer—if you’re not familiar, think innovative pieces complete with structural elements and bulbous silhouettes—Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between elicited a high-concept red-carpet chic that has no better place than at Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour’s charitable A-list event. From Katy Perry In Maison Margiela to Claire Danes in Monse, here, the most sensational looks of the evening.
