The annual Met Gala is almost here--and fans are ready to see all their favorite celebrities strut up and down the carpet in the most fabulous and extravagant attire. The event, formerly called the Costume Institute Gala, was first held all the way back in 1948. It serves as both a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City, and an opportunity to serve some fierce looks.
