The CostumeInstitute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum ofArt has played host to a number of red carpet rebels over the years. Katy Perry famously lit up the night with her dress of 3,000 LEDsIn 2010, and who could forget Marc Jacobs’s outrageous chic Comme des Garçons lace lookIn 2012? And yet thereIs a sub section of stylish dressers who subvert the rulesIn more subtle ways: Enter the theme rejectors. Over the years, a number of stars haveIgnored the Met Gala’s dress code and marched to the beat of their own drum like when Jennifer Love Hewitt wore a marabou feathered ball skirt to the 1999 rock and roll themed gala. Below, VogueIs rounding up the 66 best moments whereIndividuality ruled.

Kicking off from the 2010s, theAmerican Woman exhibitIn 2010 saw British star Emma Watson chose to fly her own flag, outfittedIn an anglo appropriate Burberry dress. Afew years later, the theme rejectors came outIn droves for 2014’s punk theme. Jennifer Lawrence made the case for subdued elegance over anarchy gracing the museum stairsIn Raf Simons’s modern reinterpretation of Christian Dior’s New Look. Kate Upton’s emerald green Diane von Furstenberg dress was anything but chaotic, and Katy Perry’s byzantine ensemble by Dolce & Gabbana seemed to predate the punk movement by several hundred years.

So, where didI learn these things? Mostly at my therapist’s office. But also form the many fashion peers, designers,Influencers, and content creators who take prideIn celebrating the LGBTQ+ experience.I followed gender non conforming fashionInfluencers like @alokvmenon and @uglyworldwide and queer platforms like @qwear and @dapperQ.I shopped at queer owned stores like LTrain Vintage and Emily Meyer.I watched queer lead TV programs likeApril cover star Cara Delevingne’s Planet Sex and Tan France’s NextIn Fashion. The list goes on. Yesterday,I was announced as a 2023 SportsIllustrated Swimsuit rookie. BeingIn the pages of SIIs something that the old, closeted version of me would have panicked at the thought of. ButI drew confidence from the fact that SI Swimsuit has celebrated talent likeAshley Graham, Leyna Bloom, and Maye Musk.And as luck would haveIt,I went through the above journey at the perfect time:I’m now as comfortableIn my skin asI amIn a string bikini.
