The Met Gala is a chance for the famous to attend a museum, and wear the most extra clothes they can uncover. At least that's what those uninitiated in the fashion world think anyway.
And the 2017 event did not disappoint. The evening's theme was Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between', celebrating the work of designer Rei Kawakubo.
The annual red carpet and exclusive event takes place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City and saw the likes of...
Nicki Minaj
Dakota Johnson
P. Diddy
Katy Perry
Ruby Rose and Donald Glover
Bad Girl RiRi won, clearly
But the show was somewhat stolen from these fashionable folk by actor and national treasure Sarah Paulson.

Her reaction to Madonna is pretty much how Madonna expects to be greeted anyway.

Paulson had a pretty good night, including dancing with the cast of Stranger Things.
