5 Most Stunning Looks From The Met Gala

The Met Ball, aka the biggest fashion night of the year, happened Monday night — and we’re still taking in all of the fierce, wacky, I-could-literally-never-pull-that-off outfits put on display. The event, which raises money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, celebrated Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo and her label, Comme des Garçons this year, with many guests dressing on theme with her creations.

Check out the five Jewish celebrities who stood out in particular for their glamorous, bold fashion choices.
