Considering the theme of this year’s event “Charles James: Beyond Fashion”, one of the best dressed models at the Met Gala 2020 was Karolina Kurkova.
The model chose a Marchesa Spring 2020 gown. Decorated with a dramatic floral print, the teal dress really went a glamorous look.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Suki Waterhouse
One of the best dressed models at the Met Gala 2020, Suki Waterhouse rocked the red carpet in her gorgeous Burberry gown. The strapless and tiered pink dress was daringly accessorized with a bold, darker lip. The model completed her look with diamond earrings and a cute updo.
Cara Delevigne
Leaving behind the classic gown look for the red carpet, Cara Delevigne went for Stella McCartney separates for the Met Gala. Her look included a daring black top with cut-outs, white pants and black pumps. The model used Cartier jewelry and glamorous curls to bring the look together.
Lily Aldridge

Joan Smalls
Attending the event accompanied by Vera Wang, who designed the dress worn by the model, Joan Smalls showed off a beautiful creation in deep nude, and was certainly one of the best dressed models at the Met Gala 2020.

Her Zac Posen strapless gown channeled one of the most iconic designs of “America’s first couturier”. Liu Wen’s sea-foam green dress from the Zac Posen Fall 2020 collection borrows a few lines from Charles James’ Four Leaf Clover gown, which makes her one of the best dressed models at the Met Gala 2020.
Arizona Muse
Another retro look, model Arizona Muse’s red Zac Posen gown has similar sensibilities, but ends up in a different directions. The red stunner is made complete thanks to the simple, yet glamorous, slicked back do.
Lily Donaldson
Definitely one of the best dressed models at the Met Gala 2020, Lily Donaldson wore Burberry by Christopher Bailey. Her elegant white gown with dramatic black accents at the back was a truly inspired choice for the Met Ball.
