It is organized by Vogue magazine and is attended by a diverse array of well-known personalities from various fields such as fashion, film, television, social media, business, music, theater, sports, and politics
This year, the Met Gala is scheduled to take place on May 6 and will celebrate the Costume Institute's new exhibition, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," with the official dress code being "The Garden of Time." The event will be hosted by Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth.
Leading up to this year's Met Gala, Maria Sharapova took to social media to reminisce about her past looks from the fashion event. Sharapova made her Met Gala debut in 2016, where the theme was "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology." She had worn a vibrant red slip dress by Colombian designer Juan Carlos Obando and completed the look by adding chunky gold earrings and sleek stilettos.
In 2019, with the theme being "Camp: Notes on Fashion," Sharapova attended the fashion extravaganza by wearing a shimmering black Givenchy Haute Couture dress with red detailing in the middle and a tulle skirt. The former World No.1 had red lips and completed her glamorous look with a sleek hairdo.
Most recently, Maria Sharapova attended the Met Gala in 2021, based on the theme "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion." She was accompanied by her fiance Alexander Gilkes and wore a metallic yellow Gabriela Hearst Spring 2020 Couture dress.
"My first ever Met Gala, 2016," Sharapova captioned her Instagram story.
"2019 in @givenchy," she wrote.
