Past Met Gala hosts, co-chairs: A list of every celebrity enlisted by Anna Wintour since 1995

The theme honored Chanel icon Karl Lagerfeld, with "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty."

The 2021/2022 Met Gala was a two-part event, with the first part held in September of 2021 and the second in May of 2022. In 2022, the Met Gala returned for the culmination of the American-themed two-part celebration.

Lin-Manuel Miranda, who missed out on the chance to co-chair in 2020, helmed the event alongside husband-and-wife duo Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds and overall icon Regina King, who didn't walk the carpet at the big event. King's son died in January 2022, so she was likely still mourning the loss.

Part one of the two-part Met Gala, which was held in September 2021, was sponsored by Instagram and themed in "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion."

The 2020 Met Gala was, of course, canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But had it taken place as scheduled on May 4, the theme would've been "About Time: Fashion and Duration," sponsored by Ghesquière's Louis Vuitton.

2019's theme was "Camp: Notes on Fashion," and it was sponsored by Gucci.

Rihanna's Met Gala looks had long earned her the title of "Queen of the Met Gala," and in 2018 she added the title of co-chair. The year's theme was a bold one: "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination." It was sponsored by Versace and Christine and Stephen Schwarzman, who also served as co-chairs.

Stephen Schwarzman is a co-founder and CEO of The Blackstone Group, a private equity firm that has a stake in Versace.

The 2017 theme was "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between," celebrating the Japanese brand, and was a joint sponsorship between Apple, Condé Nast, Farfetch, H&M, and Maison Valentino.

The event was fittingly sponsored by Apple and themed "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology."

The evening's honorary hosts were returnees Nicolas Ghesquière, Karl Lagerfeld, and Miuccia Prada.

It's believed that Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn met at the 2016 Met Gala. A lyric in Swift's song "Dress" describes each of their looks from the event. Swift and Alwyn's relationship would last for six years.

In addition to the actresses, then-CEO of Yahoo Marissa Mayer and entrepreneur/movie producer/third wife of Rupert Murdoch, Wendi Murdoch, also hosted the event, plus honorary chair and Hong Kong billionaire Silas Chou.

The other hosts for the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion"-themed night were Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch, Aerin Lauder, and Oscar de la Renta.

This year's theme, "Punk: Chaos to Couture," remains one of the most iconic Met Gala themes.

"Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations" was the theme of 2012's Met Gala, which was also chaired by Miuccia Prada.

That year's theme was "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty" to honor McQueen after his death in February 2010.

The night, which was sponsored by Gap, was themed "American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity."

The 2009 Met Ball was themed "The Model As Muse: Embodying Fashion."

The gala's theme was "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy."

The evening was themed "Poiret: King of Fashion," dedicated to legendary designer Paul Poiret.

Fittingly, the Burberry and British-heavy night was themed "AngloMania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion."

Of course, as the night's theme was "House of Chanel," no one but Lagerfeld could've been a chair.

The 2004 Met Gala had no co-chairs beyond Wintour. The year's theme was "Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the 18th Century."

The evening's theme was "Goddess: The Classical Mode."

L'Oréal CEO Lindsay Owen-Jones and his wife, Cristina, also chaired the "Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years"-themed event, as L'Oréal was the night's sponsor.

The Met Gala was cancelled in 2002 in the wake of 9/11, and next occurred in 2003.

The last Met Gala of the 20th century was themed "Rock Style." There was no Met Gala in 2000, so the first Met Gala of the 21st century wasn't held until 2001.

The theme was "Cubism and Fashion," and it was sponsored by the Prada brand.

That year's theme was "Gianni Versace," dedicated to the designer after his death in July 1997.

The theme of the 1996 Met Gala was simply "Christian Dior."

The first Met Gala chaired by Anna Wintour occurred on December 4, 1995. Legendary designers Gianni Versace and Karl Lagerfeld were honorary chairs that year, and the theme was "Haute Couture."

Annette de la Renta was the wife of the late designer Oscar de La Renta, while Bronfman is the wife of Edgar Bronfman Jr., a legendary businessman, producer, and former CEO of Warner Music Group.
