Selena Gomez’s Met Gala Style Evolution: Every Look From 2014 to 2018

A Look Back at Selena Gomez’s Most Memorable Met Gala Moments

As the Met Gala 2025 approaches, all eyes are on the A-list attendees expected to grace the iconic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Among the names fashion fans are hoping to see is Selena Gomez, who hasn’t attended the star-studded event since 2018.

Gomez, now an influential figure in both entertainment and beauty—with her brand Rare Beauty continuing to make waves—has a Met Gala history filled with elegant and experimental fashion choices. And if rumors are true, she might return this year alongside her fiancé Benny Blanco, which would mark her most high-profile appearance at the event yet.

Until then, here’s a nostalgic look back at every Met Gala appearance Selena Gomez has made over the years—from classic glamour to bold couture statements.

🌹 2014: A Sophisticated Debut

Theme: Charles James: Beyond Fashion
Designer: Diane Von Furstenberg

Selena made her Met Gala debut in 2014 wearing a rich plum mermaid gown by Diane Von Furstenberg. The look was refined and elegant, paired with a deep lip, sleek updo, and drop earrings—setting the tone for a series of stylish future appearances.

🕊 2015: Ethereal White for “China: Through the Looking Glass”

Theme: China: Through the Looking Glass
Designer: Vera Wang

In 2015, Gomez stunned in a custom white Vera Wang gown with floral embellishments in her hair. The romantic aesthetic was contrasted with a bold red lip, perfectly blending delicacy and drama in line with the evening’s theme.

⚙️ 2016: Edgy Elegance for “Manus x Machina”

Theme: Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology
Designer: Louis Vuitton

Selena's 2016 ensemble marked a departure from her previous looks. She wore a structured Louis Vuitton dress layered with a leather bustier and finished the look with lace-up combat boots—a bold choice for the high-tech theme and one of her most daring Met Gala moments to date.

👗 2017: Soft Meets Avant-Garde

Theme: Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between
Designer: Coach

For the 2017 Gala, Selena opted for an embellished cream-colored Coach gown with delicate details and soft fabric. Accessories included kitten heels, a minimalist clutch, and a choker—a trendy choice that kept the look fresh and modern despite the avant-garde theme.

✨ 2018: Celestial Style and a Beauty Faux Pas

Theme: Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination
Designer: Coach

Gomez’s most recent Met Gala appearance in 2018 featured a floaty, tiered Coach dress in ivory with a cross pendant necklace to fully embrace the evening’s theme. While the gown was ethereal, a self-described spray tan mishap made headlines post-event, highlighting the pressures and pitfalls of red carpet beauty.

Will Selena Gomez Return to the Met Gala in 2025?

With the buzz surrounding her current projects—including major appearances for her upcoming film Emilia Pérez and the ongoing success of Rare Beauty—Selena Gomez’s return to the Met Gala carpet would be a major fashion and beauty moment. Add in the possibility of a coordinated couple debut with Benny Blanco, and it’s easy to see why fans are watching closely.

Whether or not she appears at the 2025 Gala, Selena’s past looks have left a stylish mark on the event’s history—and fans will always have these iconic fashion moments to revisit.
