The Met Gala was first organized and presided over by Anna Wintour in 1995 and is recognized as one of fashion's biggest nights. It also functions as a fundraiser for the Costume Institute and aligns with the opening of its annual fashion exhibition.

As the fashion world holds its breath for tonight’s Met Gala, one of the event’s biggest stars has already declared her personal highlight — and it’s not a dress or a designer. Tennis icon and style powerhouse Serena Williams opened up about her excitement for the evening, and her words made it clear: her heart belongs to Rihanna.
