Last night (May 7), the 2018 Met Gala — an annual celebration of the fashion world and its power players — returned to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC for a night that catered to all that’s avant garde. While our guys certainly pulled up looking proper to the event, the ladies took the night for the most extravagant, head-turning looks of the evening.

See the dresses, the tresses, and everything in between that made these women stand out in our eyes. You might even get a few prom ideas, reunion ideas, or just something super gaudy to wear for a fun night out.
Take a look at our picks for the best-dressed women at Met Gala 2018, and let us know if you think these ladies did as much justice on the red carpet as we think they did:
