Finally, the first Monday in May has arrived, which for fashion and beauty fanatics, means the return of the Met Gala - one of the most illustrious events in the fashion calendar.
Each year, the event, headed up by sartorial powerhouse Anna Wintour, serves as a dazzling stage where fashion's elite push the boundaries of creativity and extravagance. Among the shimmering gowns and avant-garde ensembles that adhere to the yearly themes and dress codes, the jewellery also takes centre stage, transforming the red carpet into a mesmerising display of glamour and sophistication.
