Met Gala Through the Years: From Bridal Fashion to Instagram Engagement.

The 2003 Met Gala, themed "Goddess: The Classical Mode," was a star-studded event attended by actresses, supermodels, designers, and pop culture icons. The event was co-chaired by Tom Ford and Nicole Kidman, fresh from her Best Actress Oscar win. Attendees interpreted the theme in various ways, with some fully embracing it and others opting for bridal looks. The event was held before the rise of smartphones and social media, making for a more intimate and social-media-devoid vibe.
