Jennifer Lopez will be back at the Met Gala on Monday with official duties as a co-chair of fashion’s biggest night.
The multi-hyphenate’s attendance is pretty much a given at this point, after having previously attended a whopping 13 times. While it’s unclear how Lopez will interpret this year’s theme, the star always arrives to make a statement. “I like things that I know that I can bring to life, things that stand out. I don’t like ordinary things,” Lopez told Vogue on last year’s Met Gala red carpet. “I’m an entertainer, so I love sparkle and glamour.”

The dress code for the gala is “The Garden of Time,” inspired by a J.G. Ballard short story. Vogue’s Anna Wintour has also communicated that ensembles should convey the idea of “fleeting beauty.”
