The year was 2007. Big belts around sweaters were worn by human beings, the store Circuit City still existed, Fergie was relevant, and here's what the Met Gala looked like.
1.OK first of all, this one got me because it's so weird and slightly creepy (IDK WHY) to think about, but Donald and Melania Trump were there.
2.As was Ivanka.
3.A pre-Mariah Carey and dem babies, Nick Cannon, was there with his then fiancé, Selita Banks.
4.Critically acclaimed singer by your mom and great aunt, Michael Buble, went with Emily Blunt. Random.
5.Rihanna channeled her inner My Super Sweet 16.
6.They even gave her a rose. I die. <3
7.John Mayer was dating Jessica Simpson. An era, indeed.
8.Sneaky sneaky appletini!
9.But really, look at Jessica Simpson. A look!

11.And really, what would the MET gala be without Miss Hilary Swank?
12.Before she ruined my life and stole my man, Eva Mendes went to the Met Gala with Michael Koors.

23.Kirsten Dunst was channeling her inner-flapper!
24.G'day m'lady!
25.Iman and David Bowie were there. A true couple.
26.This is Claire Danes and actor Hugh Dancy. I literally have nothing to say about them so just enjoy the pic.
27.Camilla Belle was every bit as pleasant as she usually is (TBH I don't even know who she really is, no offense, but I know the name if you know what I mean).
28.Ellen Pompeo was also every bit as charming as she always is (TBH I know the name but don't really have anything to say about her because I don't actually know what she *does*)
29.This one "threw me for a loop" as they say, Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs were married then.
