Is this televised? I have never paid much attention to this before.

Nope. Pictures alone will surface the Internet. It's not a very musical event, it's more about seeing how the celebrities be creative in their own ways whilst also fitting the assigned theme of the year.

I really cant waot to see what Cardi wears and pictures of her and Gaga. Gaga will definitely be meeting with tons of other celebs.

The 2016 and 2015 ones were perfection though. The performance one wasn't really a carpet look so that's understandable.

I mean, tame, really? She looked like an empress.

It's not that this was tame, just that she was so outdone by the other attendees in terms of the "Gaga" factor.

Who though? Apart from Claire Dane who had a luminescent gown that looked really beautiful, I think a lot of looks seemed pretty messy. I think she was definitely one of the best of the night.

Claire wasn't even 'Gaga', she was more in the veins of elegance and dreamy.

And the theme is CAMP  this will be the best met ever

2015:

Yes, Gaga was the most "out there" in terms of hair and make-up but she was not the most impressive or talked about from a fashion perspective at all, other people (even Julianne Moore's messy outfit) upstaged her completely which is a little unexpected, obviously, since avant-garde fashion is her staple.

Instead Gaga wore a basic, glittering bodysuit with a huge, boxy cape with shoes that didn't match. Best dressed lists did mention her but they didn't rave about her as they did about other stars because as an upscaled fashion look, it just fell short.

But in 2016 she really completely missed the mark in terms of "headlining" the event:

Of course Gaga doesn't always have to be the most freaky star out there but from a fashion perspective, yes, she has actually "underperformed" at these events.

Nothing wrong with that of course. But it is what happened.

@Bradley

With "Gaga" factor I don't mean bizarre shapes and unorthodox materials btw. I just mean that she used to come on the red carpet, make everyone forget the rest who was there and deliver an unforgettable, defining fashion moment. On both occasions in 2015 and 2016 she did not manage to do that and other stars did.

Hmm, I'm not trying to make her seem like the most impressive or attention-grabbing star of the night, because she's under no obligation to do that, even though she usually does, but we're talking about 2016 looks, so let's stick to how celebrities interpret the theme of that year.

I am surprised by the choices you deemed to be more... impressive than Gaga's? Like how? Apart from the one I kept (that's Zoe Saldana right?), how are the dresses you listed more ambitious than Gaga's?

I could easily imagine the scenario where another star wore Gaga's look and Gaga wore theirs, and the fans would rant about how they wished Gaga wore the gray metallic bodysuit instead of someone else, whilst the dresses they wore were beautiful, they really aren't as bold as you make them to me, at least to me.

Madonna's seemed like an odd combination of patches of various different cloths if you ask me.

I actually do like Katy Perry's look, it was bold and sinister and I've always loved her experimentation on themes like that, though a lot of GGD members panned that look.

Gaga kinda lost that look at me I’m different factor she delivered on red carpets 24/7 beginning in 2013 (personally I think because other stars tried it and cheapened her brand). I don’t mind that though. What I prefer is her serving looks, not her trying to out-wow everyone else.

Imo they're more ambitious in terms of cut, shape, texture and overall execution They offer something new that is related to what's happening in fashion. Gaga's looks to me are striking but the way they're put together makes her look like a pop star who tried to dress appropriately in an event full of stars showcasing runway designs.

While her overall look may seem different, it almost seems slapped together rather than a fully-formed design. If I imagine actual runway models wearing her looks I can't imagine liking it because it just falls flat without Gaga in it and it would not command interest or surprise whatsoever withou her (I think).

Granted, not all of the looks I posted would look good on a professional runway Looks like Katy's and Madonna's and 2015's Rihanna look most definitely match the "pop stars trying to look cool" criticism but they were so dramatic and striking that they blew Gaga's out of the water nonetheless, which would be unimaginable if we were in, say, 2009 to 2013.

But whatever, not trying to construct a big critical argument. I just wanted her to bring it harder at these events for the sake of nostalgia more than anything else. At the end of the day the event is not about her and it might even be a good thing that she's not trying to "compete" in outdoing everyone and focuses more on just serving a look that feels right to her

But still, as Gaga looks, they will never ever make the top 10 of her career. And I kinda expected that from her Met Gala looks, I guess.

I am still sad that she couldn’t go last year where the theme was religion. She would kill that look

I am sure she will deliver camp flawlessly, she have been doing it for awhile now.

I hope she won't hold back at all.

Also, I am excited about who's she is invited sksksksks

I am guessing Madonna, Rihanna, Yonce will be there since they have been attending almost annually. Also, I can see Cardi B is invited. And some of the more famous Kadarshians and Jenners (Kim, Kylie, Kendall), I hope Taylor Swift will be there too.

I hope we finally get the picture of Gaga Rihanna that we are craving for

Janelle Monáe, too, probably. I would LOVE to see her being camp 

[Thonin Dyn 2,653]

Shangela and Willam better be invited

ahs cast will be too I think (at least sarah Paulson) 

Bradley and Irina ( I don't see Bradley dressed in the theme but I would love to be surprised) 

elton John maybe
