With just one day to go until the Met Gala 2024, anticipation is at its peak as fans eagerly await to see what the stars will bring to the table. Traditionally held on the first Monday in May, this year's event will take place on May 6 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The theme of this year's Costume Institute exhibition is 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion', while the dress code is 'The Garden of Time'. One notable absence from this year's gala will be Priyanka Chopra Jonas, a regular attendee, who will not be able to make it due to prior filming commitments.

However, amidst the excitement surrounding the event, online discussions have sparked a trend of revisiting Priyankas' iconic Met Gala looks from previous years. From her trench coat look with a long train to the white mesh gown with an extravagant beauty look, and to her stunning black and white ruffle gown last year, let's take a look at her mesmerising Gala looks through the years.
