| May 3, 2016

We've already torn the proverbial out of those who got it wrong on last night's Met Gala red carpet, and of course paid dues to those who nailed it, but sometimes what's far more interesting is what goes on behind the scenes as celebrities get ready, mingle with their super famous mates and have access to areas we plebs can only dream of.

Behold, the best celebrity Instagram posts from the 2016 Met Gala. Just lol...
