Each year the hottest stars flock to the Met Gala, also known as the Met Ball, to raise money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. Lovingly dubbed "the Oscars of the East Coast" the event draws everyone who is anyone providing for a glamorous night filled with fashion, booze, and plenty of memorable celebrity moments.
Here are 17 of the biggest celebrity Met Gala moments, ranked.
17. Lady Gaga gave Donatella Versace a birthday cake in 2016.
The Met Gala is filled with plenty of eye-catching and out-there accessories (see Sarah Jessica Parker's hat below) but the cake Lady Gaga gifted to Donatella Versace is probably the most unique. Gaga had a special three-tiered, gold dipped, Versace cake made for her friend and designer to celebrate her 61 birthday which coincided with the Gala. Definitely not a bad way to celebrate.
16. Tiger Woods partied a little too hard at the after party in 2013.
Fashion's biggest night might be an expensive fundraiser held at one of the world's most prestigious museums, but it is after all, a party and Tiger Woods allegedly partied hard.
According to US Weekly, the golfer got a little too festive at the 2013 Met Gala after party, progressively appearing more inebriated as the night went on. The magazine reported that at one point he was so drunk that he fell down while walking up a set of stairs and didn't get up until then-girlfriend, Lindsey Vonn, helped him up and escorted him out.
15. Beyoncé was late because she was redoing her ponytail in 2015.
The Met Gala is not the kind of event where you show up fashionably late — unless you are Beyoncé of course. In 2015, the singer/queen-of-everything arrived a full hour after the last celebrity had been photographed on the red carpet because she wanted to change her hair.
According to her hairstylist, Neal Farinah, Bey had originally stepped out in an "Asian-inspired chignon" (the theme was "China: Through the Looking Glass") but felt it was too costumey and decided to change it into a high ponytail as she was headed out the door. And so a high ponytail was created, punctuality be damned.
