Widely regarded as one of the most exciting red carpet events of the year, the Met Gala never fails to deliver on the fashion front.

As a carefully curated list of Hollywood A-listers ascend the stairs of the Metropolitan Museum, they present their interpretation of that year's theme.

This is a chance to earn their place in fashion history, with big sartorial risks often seeing the most pay-off.

With a history dating back to 1948, this annual event is steeped in history, so taking a look back is often needed, if only to reminisce on some of the best outfits to date.
