It’s D-day everyone! As I’m sure you all know, today it’s the Met Gala, an event that could only be described as the most important night in the fashion world and in general one of the most talked about and anticipated events of the entertainment industry.

This year’s exhibition is “China Through the Looking Glass” and it will “explore the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion, and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries.” The exhibition, that features more that one hundred haute couture and ready-to-wear garments from designers like Paul Poiret, Yves Saint Laurent, Roberto Cavalli, Alexander McQueen and John Galliano as well as Chinese costumes, painting and porcelains, opens to the public on May 7 and will remain open until August 16. 

This year’s theme though might prove to be a bit of a head scratcher for many of the guest. Past experiences, such as the very loose and at times messy interpretation of the 2013’s punk theme, have shown us that when it comes to the Met Gala’s themes no one is safe from committing a fashion misstep (not even Anna Wintour) and countless times guest have decided to just ignore the theme completely! Those rule breakers… we can’t help but love them! 

To help you all get in the mood for tonight here are 26 looks straight from the red carpet that would totally work for this years theme!
