Rewind the Clock to See The Most Dangerous Looks at the 2004 Met Gala

These Met Gala looks are dangerously good.

With the 2024 iteration of the fashion event just around the corner, it's time to take a trip down memory lane to a time when the Met Gala looked very different. If you rewind the clock 20 years, you'll find yourself in a time when Met Gala looks weren't the must-see attraction of the night.

By contrast, for the 2004 exhibition 'Dangerous Liaisons', which focused on 'costume and its aesthetic interaction with art, furniture and the wider decorative arts' from 1750 to 1789, attendees seemed reach, for the most part, normality. red carpet looks.

And while the stars like them Scarlett Johansson, Serena Williams, Natalie Portman i Hilary Swank were dressed to the nines, their looks much more understated by today's Met Gala standards.

There were a few, however, who leaned more toward the wardrobe side of the Costume Institute benefit, including Charlize Theron i Eva Mendes. For her part, Charlize donned an extravagant and eccentric black look, while Eva finished her look with a spectacular fur stole.
