First Kiss.

jeno x oc!mia. nct24th member. red velvet6th member.

summary; Jeno and Mia share one special memory.

warnings; mmm just fluff haha

btw remember english isn’t my first language soooo just ignore if there’s any mistakes haha and remember you can request anything for this story/character!

It was time to start getting ready for the photoshoot all the 19 members from nct would be doing for their NCT2018 promotions but Mia couldn’t help but to start feeling nervous about it. She never liked being on the spot and she knew that the rest of the members would look at her when taking her picture. She never said anything because she was shy to do so.

Even worse, Jeno would be looking at her.

Mia didn’t know when she started to feel that way towards her friend and group member. She even asked about it to her Red Velvet members which resulted in them saying that maybe she was just feeling that way because Jeno was being extra soft and nice with her than the other members would.

It wasn’t until all of the 18 members started to record the songs together that she started to see Jeno in another light and just as her members said, maybe she was just happy that Jeno treated her different like the other boys do. They always play fight with her and treat Mia like a sister but Jeno would always ask her how she is, tell her she looks pretty and overall be a gentleman.

She saw that Jeno came out of the dressing room with a suit on and some thick glasses.

Her hands started to sweat and she sighed.

“Are you okay Mia?” Johnny asked.

“Uh? Yeah, I’m just...” She trailed her words.

“She’s just admiring the view.” Donghyuck said with a mocking tone. “I think our little Mia has a crush on someone~”

Everyone at the room gasped since Donghyuck said that with a loud voice.

“Who?!” Most of the members screamed and the rest of them just smiled.

“I-I don’t have one! And you.” Mia said pointing to Donghyuck. “What do you mean ‘little’? I’m older than you.”

He was about to say something back but Taeyong grabbed him by the shoulders indicating him to stop bothering her.

“Stop fighting kids, they’re calling us for the photoshoot.” Taeyong said with a small smile amused with the whole situation.

Mia groaned and stood up from her seat, she slumped her shoulder and started to leave the room so she could be the first one to go and leave for good.

“Do you believe her?” Renjun said to Jeno. while watching her pose.

“Believe what?” He asked.

“That she doesn’t have a crush on someone, as far as I know she’s been talking with someone.” Renjun said and Jeno furrowed his eyebrows, he couldn’t believe that, not when the both of them have been spending a lot of time together.

Jeno had a bit of hope since he thought Mia liked him back. But he wasn’t so sure now.

“How do you know?” Jeno asked with the same sad expression on his face.

“Well since Mia and I are also recoding for a station song I’ve noticed she’s always texting this one person but the thing is, she has them saved with a heart which is is rare because no one except her Red Velvet members have one.” He shrugged his shoulders. “But I feel like it could be one of our members.”

Oh no. That just made things worse. Jeno groaned and huffed.

“Why are you so into that? You like her or something?” Renjun said with a playful smile but stoped as soon as he saw the look in Jeno’s eye. “Oh god, you do like Mia!” He said with excitement.

Shock crossed in Jeno’s face.

“No! I-I’m just curious.” Was all he said and left Renjun’s side.

Oh god, oh god, oh god. He knows! I’m so scre-

Jeno kept on walking around waiting for his turn until he saw his best friend flirting with the camera he has on his hand. He decided to sit next to Jaemin who kept on talking with the camera that was used for the behind the scenes videos they would later upload on the official youtube chanel.

After Mia finished her part of the photos she went to look out for Jaemin, who was the only one that knew Mia’s crush on his best friend. She wanted to talk with him about the situation and ask him what to do. But as soon as she saw Jeno next to him she started to feel nervous. Again.

“Noona! Come here, say hi to nctzen~” Jaemin spoke with a baby voice he only used with Chenle, Jisung and Mia.

She had no other option than to go with him and try to act normal.

Jaemin turned the camera towards her, showing her outfit and makeup. Mia said hi to the camera and went on a bit of a talk with it pretending it was a fan.

“You look really pretty.” Jeno spoke interrupting her making her eyebrows rise in surprise as well as Jaemin’s did.

“Uh, thank you Jen.” She smiled with red cheeks and Jaemin couldn’t but to tease her. “Stop! I wanted to talk to you!” Mia whined and held Jaemin’s hand.

“I’m all ears!” Jaemin answered still teasing her.

“Jaemin~ Please, it’s important.” Mia tried to use her sweet voice she sometimes would use with the 127 members in exchange of something.

Jeno watched the whole interaction and made him wonder. What if Jaemin is the one Renjun was talking about? What’s so important that she only needs Jaemin to know? Jeno started to panic.

“Jaemin! We need you on set!” A staff member shouted.

“Well, I’m leaving, we’re going to talk later, okay?” He said and patted Mia’s head before he left.

She huffed and took a seat next to Jeno, shoulders touching. The both of them were in silence for a few seconds until Jeno turned towards her.

“So...” He trailed.

“Yeah, so...” She tried to say something but couldn’t help but to stare into his face, his oh so handsome face.

“Is that true?” Jeno murmured.

“Is what true?”

“That you gave a crush on someone? I heard Haechan teasing you, it’s okay, you can tell me.” He tried to sound normal but inside his mind he was screaming.

“I-I can’t t-tell you.” Mia stuttered.

“It’s fine Mia, I won’t tell Jaemin you like him, don’t worry.” Jeno explained with a comforting smile.

“What?!” Her face was full with confusion. “It’s not Jaemin who I like.”

Jeno turned his head to the side with a uh? coming out of his lips, a very cute habit of his. Mia smiled and turned her body towards the boy. It’s now or never she thought.

“I like you Jeno.” Was all she said with a shy smile and rosy cheeks trying to avoid his eyes.

“I like you too Mia.” Jeno linked his pinky with hers and his body went closer towards Mia. “I think I like you way too much.” He whispered.

Their foreheads were touching and he sighed while closing his eyes.

“Can I kiss you?” Jeno asked and the tips of his ears went red.

“I haven’t gotten my first kiss yet.” Mia spoke softly making Jeno’s smile grow.

“Good thing I haven’t either.”

After hearing that Mia went for it, she touched his lips with hers, finally sharing a sweet first kiss.

“Oh god! See, I told you!” Renjun’s loud voice startled Mia and Jeno making them stop.

“You interrupted the moment!” Jaemin scolded his friend while still holding the camera which was still recording.

Wild, carefree and and boisterous. That’s how the attendants at her event would be described in the tomorrow morning’s headlines. Neon, vibrant hues casting shadows on all of those who were lucky enough to be invited to what Mia would hope to be the most envied event of the year. She smiled at those that garnered for her attention as she whispered into the ear of the only individual in attendance allowed to have a digital camera, or any technology that could leave a digital footprint, at Chanel’s birthday extravaganza. The two had been finalizing what images were to be captured, who should be photographed and whom not to photograph should things get out of hand. Which they more than likely would considering the copious amounts of liquor consumed by many.

“Remember, plenty of the woman of the hour and not too many posed. If I wanted a plethora of posed photos I’d have rented a photo booth for the evening.” She shooed away the photographer, a close friend and one she trusted to be discreet, back into the crowd of bodies that littered the main floor of Sapphire.

A drunk scuffle was already unfolding between the men of 90210 -the ones dressed as them- outside the roped area of the private section. Apparently the blonde one thought the brunette was sleeping with someone else and it was turning into a thing that was soon to involve the bystander who looked a little too much like the person they were fighting over - a trick of the light and large consumption of alcohol being the culprits- Mia grasped the individual by the hand and pulled them towards her before the security hired for the evening stepped in.

She gestured with her hand towards the two men being escorted quietly from the party as she jokingly said, “Don’t tell me actually you are the one those two have been fighting over all night. Could have saved those two from a lover’s spat if you snuck off with one of them already.”

How to Do Nina Dobrev’s Skincare Routine

Nina Dobrev wants you to know that her skin is NOT flawless.

"I get pimples just like every other Joe Schmoe," the 30-year-old actress, best known for her role on the The Vampire Diaries, admitted to Allure.

But that doesn't mean she won't leave the house bare-faced.

"I absolutely feel comfortable going out in public and being on social media without makeup," she revealed in an interview with People. "It's real. When I have a lot of makeup on, that's usually work. At home, I just let it breathe. I don't think I was always [this] comfortable with myself, but as I get older, I start to care less. I feel a lot more comfortable in my own skin now."

Thanks for watching!

With age has also come a newfound dedication to skincare.

"I think the older I get, the more important it becomes [to take care of my skin]," she told The Cut. "When I was younger, I'd always just fall asleep in my makeup and it wouldn't really have an effect, but nowadays, because of some maturity, knowledge and growth, it's changed."

Thanks for watching!

Nina's routine includes an array of products from Dr. Barbara Sturm, along with some drugstore favourites and a "magic" light therapy mask.

Ready to see how she keeps her skin clear and glowing? Read on:

Nina’s Morning Skincare Routine

1. Sunscreens:

Dr. Barbara Sturm Sun Drops SPF 50

Dr. Barbara Sturm Sun Drops SPF 50: "Her sunscreen is the only sunscreen I've been able to use that doesn't come out white, and it doesn't get cakey with your foundation."

Chanel UV Essential SPF 50

Chanel UV Essential SPF 50: "It's anti-pollution, broad-spectrum SPF.... Not a single day goes by where this isn't the first thing that I apply to my face upon waking up. I've tried so many different products that, especially when you're wearing makeup right afterwards, it can get thick or it gets sticky or it's really white. I've found that this specific one has the most sheen, it has the most protection, it has 50 SPF in it, which is a lot. And it's light and airy and you can put makeup on seamlessly. It's like a primer, almost."

2. Serum:

Dr. Barbara Sturm Glow Drops

Dr. Barbara Sturm Glow Drops: "These are amazing. I mix them in with my sunscreen and my moisturizer. I don't know what it is that's inside of it, but whatever it is, it really does make your skin glow. I've never gotten more compliments on my skin since I started using that. All of her products are amazing, and I have honestly seen great results."

3. Foundation:

Chanel Ultra Le Teint Velvet Blurring Smooth-Effect Foundation SPF 15

Chanel Ultra Le Teint Velvet Blurring Smooth-Effect Foundation SPF 15: "The next product after my sunscreen and after my Glow Drops is my foundation. We talked about prepping the skin with a glowy, dewy tint, and right after that I also apply this... which I love mainly because it has sunscreen in it already. So even if I for whatever reason forgot to put my sunscreen on that day, I do have a little bit of protection in the foundation. It has full coverage, but it's not super heavy and cakey, and at the same time, they also put powder in it. I am an on-the-go person. I have a dog, I have a busy life. I don't have time to put foundation on and then powder it and do all these steps. In general, I like to keep the skin glowy and fresh and not really wear a lot of makeup. I get red pretty quickly and easily, so I just let it shine through, which I'm told is rosacea, which is not a good thing, but I like it, so I don't wanna treat it. It skips a step."

4. Sunscreen Setting Spray:

Kate Somerville UncompliKated SPF Soft Focus Makeup Setting Spray SPF 50

Kate Somerville UncompliKated SPF Soft Focus Makeup Setting Spray SPF 50: "After my makeup is done, I use Kate Somerville sunscreen setting spray."

Nina’s Nighttime Skincare Routine

1. Makeup Removers:

Simple Kind to Skin Micellar Cleansing Wipes

Simple Kind to Skin Micellar Cleansing Wipes: "One big, main, important thing is to wash your makeup off every night before you go to bed. In order to take my makeup off, the first step is a makeup wipe. I'm told you're supposed to be really light on your skin, especially around the under-eye area, but I don't always practice what I preach."

Simple Kind to Skin Dual Effect Eye Make-Up Remover

Simple Kind to Skin Dual Effect Eye Make-Up Remover: "In order to remove the makeup around the eyes, sometimes I like to use a Q-tip to really get in there, and I typically use an oil-free makeup remover."

2. Cleansers:

Dr. Barbara Sturm Cleanser

Dr. Barbara Sturm Cleanser: "I put two pumps of Dr. Sturm's cleanser, and then I mix that with my exfoliant [the Dr. Barbara Sturm Enzyme Cleanser]."

Dr. Barbara Sturm Enzyme Cleanser

Dr. Barbara Sturm Enzyme Cleanser: "It is an enzyme cleanser, also by Dr. Sturm. You just put it in your hand and you mix it with water. The exfoliant helps really get into the pores and get rid of that dead skin. It also removes the makeup if anything's been left behind that the makeup wipes were not able to get. And then... I use warm water to rinse. Then I pat the face dry."

3. Cleansing Brush:

Clarisonic Mia Smart 3-in-1 Connected Sonic Beauty Device

Clarisonic: "I use Clarisonic. They're great—they really get in there."

4. Serums:

Dr. Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum

Dr. Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum: "I use Dr. Sturm's hyaluronic acid, which allows for all kinds of moisture and water and plumpness to get into the skin."

Dr. Barbara Sturm Super Anti-Aging Serum

Dr. Barbara Sturm Super Anti-Aging Serum: "Sometimes, I mix [the hyaluronic acid] with the Super Anti-Aging Serum. Mainly because it sounds cool.... [I use it] for no reason in particular, just because it saves time and I'm a busy lady."

5. Moisturizers:

La Mer The Moisturizing Soft Cream

La Mer The Moisturizing Soft Cream: "At night specifically, I use a thicker moisturizer like La Mer, and that way you have all night for it to soak in and really work its magic. La Mer is especially special because it was originally created—fun little fact—for burn victims. And it repaired their cells so well when they had third-degree burns that they decided they should probably re-brand and use it as a face cream because it had so many healing properties. This is one that I use a couple times a week and/or before big red carpets when I want that extra dewy glow. And I like to put it under the eyeballs as well."

Dior Prestige La Crème Texture Essentielle

Dior Prestige La Crème Texture Essentielle: "I use Dior Prestige La Crème for my moisturizer."

6. Eye Cream:

Dr. Barbara Sturm Eye Cream

Dr. Barbara Sturm Eye Cream: "I usually use Dr. Sturm under-eye cream at night. Something I've learned from makeup artists is that you should pat the under-eye area as opposed to rubbing it because it saves you from getting wrinkles maybe a few days earlier than you would have otherwise."

7. Lip Balms:

L'Occitane Ultra Rich Lip Balm

L'Occitane Ultra Rich Lip Balm: "Next step is lip moisturizer. This is a L'Occitane en Provence [lip balm], which, if I have to be honest with you, I got this from one of those little travel-sized things on the plane."

Dior Lip Glow Color Reviving Balm

Dior Lip Glow Color Reviving Balm: "I get so dry in the middle of the night that I also have to use lip balm, and I also use Dior's lip balm."

8. Spot Treatment:

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Dual Action Acne Treatment

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Dual Action Acne Treatment: "Now, if I'm having a little bit of an outbreak or a pimple or an uninvited friend that has made my face their home, I consult my friend La Roche-Posay. This is a spot treatment that you only need a very little amount of; it's got retinol in it and you just zap 'em. It's basically like an eviction notice for your face. You tell 'em they gotta go find somewhere else to squat."

Nina’s Skincare Treatments

Vampire Facials:

Dr. Barbara Sturm: "She was introduced to me by a friend of mine who works with her and who has beautiful skin. Dr. Sturm was the first person to come up with the Vampire Facial. I get it, there's a double pun there because I used to be a vampire. [But] it really works. Her Vampire Facials are amazing...."

Radiofrequency Facials:

The Beauty Sandwich

Light Therapy:

Deesse Pro LED Mask

Déesse Pro LED Mask: "Keep in mind I don't use this every day. I use it maybe twice a week and before big red carpets so that I get that nice glow. It is a product that I, weirdly enough, initially saw on Kate Hudson, on her Instagram. I reached out to her and asked her what that was because she looked like Jason, the killer [from the Friday the 13th movies], and I was scared at first. And then she told me what it does and I was very, very excited by it. It makes you look creepy, though. Total Jason vibes. I usually either use Mode 1, which is red light for anti-aging, or I use Mode 5, which is the red light and the blue light combined, which helps with healing. So for example, if you have a pimple like I do, and you happen to have popped it, like I often do—which you shouldn't do—it heals your pimples really fast. Like, you can have an open pimple, put the mask on, and when you take the mask off, it's gone. It's crazy. It's magic."

Spas:

"I'm a bit of a spa-holic, is that a thing? AIRE Spa of New York is my go-to here. In London, the Corinthia Hotel. It's insane, the steam rooms and the saunas and the massages, it's one of the most incredible experiences. In Toronto, just outside of Toronto near Blue Mountain, the Scandinavian Spa. It's an outdoor/indoor spa, so especially if you go in the winter, it's snowing and you're going in the hot tubs, you're going from room to room, and it's huge and really cool. The Korean Spa in Los Angeles. It's not fancy—everyone's naked. I'm a steam-room-aholic as well… I have a steam room and a hot tub."

Infrared Saunas:

Shape House and Sweatheory: "I don't have an infrared sauna, but I think that's my next step. They're amazing. Shape House in L.A. will wrap you up in infrared, and then Sweatheory is an infrared sauna place in Los Angeles that I go to."

Nina’s Diet, Exercise and Lifestyle

Diet:

"I used to eat three full meals and then I would not be able to move after each meal. I would be so full and tired. Now, I eat all the time but portion control is what's important for me—I'm eating more in total but not more at a time. [My trainer] coached me through it, but basically, I aim to have the size of my thumb in fat, the size of my palm in protein, and then unlimited veggies. I wish I'd learned this in school."

Exercise:

"I just love working out. Doing something different [each day] has been the most fun, and I've seen the most benefit because you shock your system. I need to sweat every single day somehow, even if it's just in the steam room."

Sleep:

"I put more time and energy into the relationship with my bed than I do with any relationship I've ever had in my life. I always have a sleep mask, because if there’s even a crack of light, I'll be up. I also sleep with a sound machine. Sound machines are my secret weapon because they drown out any noise and keep you in this even-keeled environment that's peaceful and chill. Between those two and chamomile tea, those are my tricks."

Attitude:

"I think anyone and everyone, at some point, has maybe not felt like their best self. What I've learned is that life is just a compilation of days where you just try to live life to the fullest and be happy in any way that you can and try to better yourself. Audrey Hepburn has this quote that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that to be very true. Your smile is your best accessory, and I try to wear it every day if I can."

"At the end of the day, you are what makes you beautiful. Your personality, your aura and who you naturally are."

Best All-Time Celebrity Met Gala Fashion Outfits

Scroll To See More Images

For serious fans of fashion, there’s no bigger red-carpet affair than the annual Costume Institute Benefit—a.k.a. the Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala, or Met Gala for short—where celebrities and high fashion collide in a bonanza of couture gowns that more than rivals the Oscars in unabashed glamour. Part of the evening’s fun—even for us spectators—is seeing what attendees choose to wear on the red carpet at the Gala, which will be held Monday night. Considering attendees’ high-design attire is typically loosely inspired by the exhibition’s theme, we have a feeling this particular red carpet will be one for the record books, and we’ll see some of the best Met Gala dresses yet.

However, before we can look ahead to this year’s extravaganza, we decided to look back at some past memorable Met Gala gowns that we’re still talking about.

From supermodels (Karolina Kurkova in a head-to-toe custom Rachel Zoe creation that resembled liquid gold, Gisele Bündchen’s red-hot Valentino, Anja Rubik’s skin-baring Anthony Vaccarello) and starlets (Beyoncé in showstopping Givenchy, Diane Kruger in Jason Wu) to the fash pack (Alexa Chung in Marc Jacobs, Ashley Olsen in vintage Dior, Zoe Kravitz in Alexander Wang), there’s no denying that everyone who shows up to the year’s most major red carpet does so with a serious fashion moment in mind.

Rihanna, Met Gala 2017

As an annual Met Gala favorite, Rihanna didn’t disappoint when she wore a Comme des Garçons structured flower-like dress by Rei Kawakubo, a Japanese designer who was honored with that year’s theme. The look, which was straight from Comme des Garçons’s Fall 2016 runway, used floral fabrics, which were layered and pulled apart to look like petals.

Zendaya, Met Gala 2017

Though Zendaya strayed from 2017’s avant-garde theme, she still shut down the red carpet when she showed up in a colorful Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda ball gown decorated with vibrant orange and blue parrots. Z complemented her look, which boasted a floor-length train, with a voluminous Afro.

Cardi B, Met Gala 2018

Cardi B’s 2018 MOSCHINO Met Gala look (with the theme Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination) was beyond iconic.

Taylor Swift, Met Gala 2016

As 2016’s Met Gala chair, Taylor Swift created chatter on the internet for the metallic minidress she wore in honor of that year’s theme, Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology. The look consisted of a robot-like Louis Vuitton dress with cutouts and a ruffled skirt with knee-high lace-up heels and black lipstick complementing Swift’s electric-blonde hair.

Solange, Met Gala 2016

Solange didn’t exactly fit 2016’s technology-inspired theme, but many fans considered her lemonade-yellow David Laport dress, which featured accordion-like pleats, to be a nod to her sister Beyoncé’s album Lemonade, which came out a month earlier. Solange completed her look with matching latex leg warmers and clear sandals.

Lena Waithe, Met Gala 2018

When Master of None’s Lena Waithe showed up to the 2018 Met Gala in a literal rainbow cape, we knew it was going to be a good night.

Lupita Nyong’o, Met Gala 2016

Lupita Nyong’o stunned on the Met Gala red carpet in 2016 when she wore a jade sequined Calvin Klein shift dress with a near-translucent train. But it was her hair that caught the attention of the internet. Shortly after Nyong’o walked the red carpet, Vogue published an article comparing her sky-high bun to Audrey Hepburn’s in a 1963 Vogue photo shoot. The actress later called out the magazine on Instagram, explaining that her hair wasn’t inspired by Hepburn, but by traditional African hairstyles and Nina Simone.

Kendall Jenner, Met Gala 2017

Kendall Jenner definitely turned heads in 2017 when she showed up at the Met Gala in a near-naked La Perla dress. The sheer look, which featured a large diagonal cutout on Jenner’s torso, was flecked with glitter and featured a low-scooped open back, revealing Jenner’s derriere.

Katy Perry, Met Gala 2017

As one of 2017’s Met Gala chairs, Katy Perry raised the bar when she wore an avant-garde red-tulle dress by John Galliano. The look, which featured a floor-length veil and sleeves embellished with large jewels, also included a crown-like headpiece with the word “Witness,” which would later become the title of Perry’s 2017 album.

Claire Danes, Met Gala 2016

From a first look, Claire Danes’s 2016 sky-blue Cinderella-like Zac Posen ball gown looked like another pretty dress and far from that year’s technology-inspired theme. But in the dark, fans learned that the one-of-a-kind dress was sewn with dozens of fiber optics, allowing it to twinkle with lights when it was pitch-black. Posen revealed the high-tech effect on his Instagram.

Cara Delevingne, Met Gala 2017

Cara Delevingne took advantage of her freshly shaven head at the 2017 Met Gala by glazing it with slick silver paint. She paired her metallic buzzcut with a sci-fi-inspired pantsuit by Chanel with bold shoulders and a futuristic, star-like pattern.

Rihanna, Met Gala 2018

Rihanna really stuck to the 2018 “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” Met Gala theme when she game dressed as the literal Pope. We’re still screaming about it.

Madonna, Met Gala 2016

Madonna earned mixed reviews when she wore a sheer and skin-baring Givenchy dress to the 2016 Met Gala. The look, which exposed Madonna’s butt and breasts, was criticized by some for being too revealing. Of course, Madonna had the last word. After the controversy, the singer took to her Instagram to explain that her dress was a “political statement” against “an ageist and sexist society.”

Kim Kardashian, Met Gala 2013

A pregnant Kim Kardashian didn’t exactly stick to the PUNK: Chaos to Couture theme of 2013’s gala, but her Givenchy dress spawned 10,000 memes—and was of particular significance, given it was the first time Anna Wintour allowed her to attend.

Diana Ross, Met Gala 1981

Diana Ross’s 1981 Met Gala gown would look right at home on the 2018 red carpet, given fashion’s recent obsession with ruffles and off-the-shoulder cuts.

Solange, Met Gala 2015

When every other star was tripping over themselves to prove their dresses were the most naked, Solange rolled up to the 2015 Met Gala in this round Giles dress—and killed it.

Amber Valletta, Met Gala 1999

Amber Valletta looked every inch the supermodel in shiny gold at 1999’s “Rock Style” gala.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Met Gala 2013

Sarah Jessica Parker, patron saint of the Met Gala, can always be counted on to show up in something fabulously OTT, like this Giles Deacon gown and Philip Treacy Mohawk headpiece in 2013, proving that she truly gets the spirit of the event every year.

Diana Vreeland, Met Gala 1981

Lauren Santo Domingo, Met Gala 2008

In 2008, socialite and fashion It-girl Lauren Santo Domingo wore a silver glittering Nina Ricci gown—created by then-designer Olivier Theyskens—end of story. But it wasn’t, because the dress caused a bit of a scandal when the house dressed SJP in the same exact dress months later for the premiere of the “Sex and the City” movie. The brand responded to the controversy by saying LSD isn’t technically a celebrity, so they didn’t recycle.

Lupito Nyong’o, Met Gala 2014

Fresh off her fame-making red-caped-dress moment, Lupita Nyong’o made a dramatic grand entrance at the 2014 gala in flapper-inspired Prada.

Zoë Kravitz and MIA, Met Gala 2010

The cool crowd—also known as MIA and Zoë Kravitz—arrived on the arm of Alexander Wang at 2010’s “American Women”-themed gala.

WENN.

Florence Welch, Met Gala 2012

Florence Welch brought it to the 2012 gala honoring Miuccia Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli, although she opted to wear a stunning multitiered McQueen dress. She showed up on several “worst-dressed” lists, proving again that the masses just don’t get it.

Toby/WENN.com.

Anja Rubik, Met Gala 2013

Supermodel Anja Rubik rolled up to the 2013 punk-themed gala in a mini red leather Anthony Vaccarello number—and it promptly went down in the annals as one of the coolest, most memorable looks ever.

WENN.com.

Karen Elson, Met Gala 2015

In 2015, supermodel-turned-rocker Karen Elson debuted a jaw-dropping Dolce & Gabbana look on the red carpet. Whether it played into the night’s theme—”China: Through the Looking Glass”—is debatable, but the glamour is not.

Andres Otero/WENN.com.

Anne Hathaway, Met Gala 2013

Anne Hathaway shed her goody-goody image at the 2013 punk-themed gala, replacing her long brown hair with a cropped platinum cut and debuting an on-theme Valentino gown.

Lia Toby/WENN.com.

Miley Cyrus, Met Gala 2013

A logical step in Miley Cyrus’s 2013 emancipation from Hannah Montana? Attending the punk-themed Met Gala on Marc Jacobs’s arm in a totally sheer dress and with blonde spiky hair.

Diane Kruger, Met Gala 2004

A lot of the looks at 2004’s “Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the 18th Century” gala look wildly outdated now, but Diane Kruger—in Nicolas Ghesquiere—still looks chic and sexy.

Lia Toby/WENN.com.

Nicole Richie, Met Gala 2013

Nicole Richie stunned due to the simple fact that she made both a Topshop gown and silver hair look ridiculously chic in 2013.

WENN.com.

Kim Kardashian, Met Gala 2015

In 2015, Kim Kardashian caught major flak for wearing a dress nearly identical to the one Beyoncé wore in 2012. Granted, they’re by different designers and were different colors—Beyoncé’s black and purple gown was Givenchy, while Kim’s white dress was part of Peter Dundas’s first collection since returning to Roberto Cavalli, but the similarities were shocking, down to the sheer nakedness, the curve-hugging fit, and—of course—the feathered train that Bey worked like a pro on the Met’s red stairs when she made her dramatic entrance three years ago.

(And let it be known, Kim—who was on the event’s host committee that year—also showed up toward the end of the carpet, just like Ms. Knowles did.)

WENN.com.

Rihanna, Met Gala 2015

Perhaps the most memorable gala gown—and the most memorable example of a star sticking to the theme—was at 2015’s “China: Through the Looking Glass”: Rihanna showed up in an imperial-yellow fur-trimmed caped number with a multifoot-long train created by Chinese couturier Guo Pei. “I was researching Chinese couture on the Internet, and I found it,” she told Vanity Fair.

Ashley Olsen, Met Gala 2011

Ashley Olsen didn’t wear McQueen to the 2011 gala, whose theme was in his honor, but looked absolutely perfect in a vintage Dior with puffy sleeves.

WENN.com.

Beyoncé, Met Gala 2015

Beyoncé turned heads in revealing Givenchy Couture at 2015’s gala, though some critics slammed the look for being too shameless in its approach to grab headlines. In the year of the “naked dress” on the gala’s carpet—J.Lo and—predictably—Kim K. also showed up in similar styles—we kind of hoped Beyoncé would have risen above the fray and had fun with her look, much like Rihanna did that year.

WENN.

Gisele Bündchen, Met Gala 2011

Part of one of the best-dressed couples of all time, supermodel Gisele Bündchen made jaws drop in 2011 with her dramatic red Alexander McQueen.

Amber Valletta, Met Gala 2004

It’s hard not to applaud Amber Valletta for fully embracing the 2004 “Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the 18th Century” gala theme.

WENN.

Diane Kruger, Met Gala 2011

In 2011, Diane Kruger was the picture of modernity—instead of an OTT gown, she opted for a sleek black slit-skirt and embellished top by Jason Wu.

Rihanna, Met Gala 2011

Been there, done that: Rihanna was doing the naked-dress thing long before Kim, Bey, and J.Lo. Here she is in Stella McCartney in 2011.

Karolina Kurkova, Met Gala 2012

Karolina Kurkova brought some serious Studio 54 vibes in 2012 with her gold beaded Rachel Zoe number.

Kirsten Dunst, Met Gala 2012

Kirsten Dunst might have worn prim Rodarte to 2012’s gala, but the look did its part to play into the Prada and Schiappareli theme.

Alexa Chung, Met Gala 2013

It-girl and style-setter Alexa Chung took the “real fashion” route in a buttoned-up Marc Jacobs look in 2013.

Kid Chocolate Radio

You are now tuned in to WHNIC radio Where you always know, who’s in charge

That was Roll Call our number two song on our top 9 at 9 by Leikeli47 / Heavily requested by our brothers and sisters on the yard ..

Speaking of the yard / I wanna give a shout out to Professor Jenkins / Uh, I heard she broke her back at halftime / She called to let us know that she's fine and well, and she wants to give a shout out to everybody that sent her cards / Somebody tell Miss Jenkins to stay off the field, next time

Listen, everybody traveling south down Broad st right / There is an accident on Lombardy / so please be safe while you're going down there by The Fan / Tryna take the shortcut down the southside ..

But right now we about to get into the number one spot. Ah, we can't get rid of this girl. Leikeli47, with Top Down on WHNIC Radio.

Top Down

Protector of my heart Captain of my soul Never made me regret Giving up control Don’t have to be afraid Of the ship sailing away Even through bad weather Our anchor stays in place I'm a love you

Top down Bottom up Top down Bottom up (Thinking of you) I can’t get enough I can’t get enough I can’t get enough (Win or we lose) I’m not giving up I’m not giving up I’m not giving up (I'm a love you) Top down Bottom up Top down Bottom up Top down Bottom up (I'm a love you)

Patient with my pride You move it all aside Never had a lover So careful and kind Ain’t much that I need Rather be caught up In your rhapsody And I don’t mind I don’t mind cus I'm gonna love you

I get real real happy every time I see you It’s funny how these niggas wanna be you, uh I found my equal Calendar set for the steeple Til death do us part / you know how we do, uh And when they see you Just know that I ain’t too far behind Matching air max / seat reclined, uh Defensive line and I play my position To the fullest Fuck around and get a few yards took'n It’s Brooklyn

Hoyt and Schermerhorn

In the dark on the train whispering, I love you Can’t nobody see the smile upon my face Pulling up to my stop / and you tell me don’t move You ask me can I call in sick today The doors close and I sit in your lap and kiss you You tell me my voice is medicine to your soul The brakes make us move back and forth just like we’re dancing It’s nothing like love on the train when the doors close

Oh we’re riding all the way Downtown to Uptown You got me all the way As long you’re down Ride with me all the way This train is love bound Ride with me All the way

Looking out the window the lights are flashing Tunnel vision / All I can see is you Passengers congregating for our union I’m hoping that they have what we have too

Oh we’re riding all the way Downtown to Uptown You got me all the way As long you’re down Ride with me all the way This train is love bound Ride with me All the way

Oh we’re riding all the way Downtown to Uptown You got me all the way As long you’re down Ride with me all the way This train is love bound Ride with me All the way
