The Met Gala has officially concluded, bringing the biggest stars together for a fashion event to remember.

This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” brought athletes, musicians, actors, actresses, models, and more to the blue carpet to highlight the significance and evolution of fashion and its contribution to forming Black identities. Attendees gathered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City to celebrate the opening of the corresponding exhibition in the museum’s Costume Institute.

Co-chairing the event this year was A$AP Rocky, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour.

See the best looks from the event below.
