Like Parker, Rihanna is one to follow a dress code, and she embraced 2015’s “China: Through the Looking Glass” theme in a big way. The star — who co-chairs this year’s event — shined in a dramatic yellow satin, fur-trimmed Guo Pei dress with a never-ending train.

With her blonde hair and blue eyes, Claire Danes would resemble Cinderella in any ensemble, so it’s no surprise that the star was compared to the Disney princess when she stepped out in a powder blue Zac Posen ballgown. But the classic dress came with a memorable twist: It glowed in the dark.
7. Cher in Bob Mackie, 1974
Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and more celebrities have stunned in naked dresses on the Met Gala red carpet in recent years, but Cher’s Bob Mackie dress started it all. The star’s dress — which came complete with feathers on the sleeves and at the hemline — is hard to forget.
