In the world of celebrities, there’s no higher honour than receiving a coveted invite to fashion’s night of nights: the Met Gala. Every year, celebrities from film, television, music, and even motorsport descend upon New York’s Metropolitan Museum to parade down the pink carpet in the most opulent haute couture. Amongst the crowd, you’ll be sure to spot a few Australians on the Met Gala red carpet shining alongside some of the world’s biggest names.
