Celebrities flocked to the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday for the annual Met Gala, the annual benefit for the museum’s Costume Institute, and stars like Kim Kardashian, Blake Lively and Jared Leto stunned on the red carpet.

Key Facts

Blake Lively’s two-tone Atelier Versace gown was inspired by New York City architecture.

Kim Kardashian donned the Jean-Louis-designed dress Marilyn Monroe wore to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy in 1962—though after the red carpet she changed into a replica of the gown, given its fragile state. “I’m extremely respectful to the dress and what it means to American history. I would never want to sit in it or eat in it or have any risk of any damage to it,” she told Vogue.
