The Queen of the Met Gala red carpet sat out last year's event, but owned the red carpet in 2015 when she arrived wearing a dramatic yellow gown by Guo Pei.
Making her return this year, the singer did not disappoint with another fashion moment for fashion's favourite red carpet in this Comme des Garcons look. The brand and its designer Rei Kawakubo are being honoured at the Gala, which marks the opening of the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibition - this year's is titled Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between.

Many will mock Helen Lasichanh for this Comme des Garcons look - from the Fall 2017 collection titled 'The Future of Silhouette' - but in wearing it on a red carpet meant to be celebrating Rei Kawakubo, she is acknowledging and honouring the designer's obsession with challenging the fashion status quo.
As Sarah Mower wrote in her review of that collection, "Kawakubo disables the usual instruments by which we fash-judge. It's anxiety-making and thrilling. You have to feel something — even if it's that you are a blundering idiot, not understanding".
