The Met Gala was celebrated this past Monday, May 6th. The theme was “The Garden of Time,” and served as the introduction of a new fashion exhibit at the MET museum, called “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” Seasoned and newcomer celebrities attended the occasion with all manner of looks, with colors like black and beige taking the spotlight. Floral prints and imagery of nature were also common sights on the red carpet, with designers inspired by the season and the year’s popular fashion trends.
