Tapped to co-chair 2021’s “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion” gala with Naomi Osaka, Amanda Gorman, and Billie Eilish, Timothée Chalamet arrived at his very first Met with—what else?—a literal throng of screaming fans in his wake. In a work of virtual performance art live-streamed on Instagram, Chalamet strolled to the museum from the Frick Madison, where he’d collaborated with French artist JR and the composer Nicholas Britell on a dazzling installation. Needless to say, people were all too eager to follow along—both virtually and in person.

There are, quite simply, no words for the performance Lady Gaga put on at the 2019 Met Gala for “Camp: Notes on Fashion.” The actress and singer showed up in a fuchsia Brandon Maxwell cape gown with a 25-foot train, taking off layer after layer until she was writhing on the steps of the Met in lingerie, fishnets, and sky-high heels. Nobody does it better!
