The Met Gala, otherwise known as the Costume Institute Gala, is unquestionably one of fashion's biggest nights of the year -- driven by the industry's leading lady. After all, if anyone can bring all of Hollywood to New York City for a crowded, warm night at the museum, it's Anna Wintour!

You can also count on several custom gorgeous gowns worn by the likes of Taylor Swift, Blake Lively and more.
