The 2017 Met Gala is almost upon us, so what better time to look back through the archive of parties past.

Red carpet looks at the annual ball are famous for being some of the most fashion-forward in the world - and although not all of them have made ‘best dressed’ lists, they’ve become major talking points in their own right.

From Blake Lively’s ‘painted on’ Gucci dress and Claire Danes’ powder blue larger-than-life gown, to Queen of the Met Ball, Rihanna, we take a look back at the most memorable outfits of all time.
