Every year, billionaires arrive on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as they head to the glamorous ball, dressed in some of the most expensive looks.
However, this does not mean that they can show off their appearance at all times.
Here's a look at some of the looks wealthy Met Gala guests have worn over the years that could have been better, according to the Business Insider.
Jeff Bezos at the Met Gala 2019
The Amazon founder walked the Met Gala red carpet in 2019 in a classic Tom Ford tuxedo.
He completed the look with a black jacket, satin lapels, straight trousers, a white button-down shirt and a black bow tie.
However, according to the Business InsiderThe tech billionaire had “completely ignored” the “Camp: Notes on Fashion” theme, which was especially evident when he stood alongside stars like Kendall Jenner and Jared Leto, who were wearing almost surreal outfits.

Critics expected an extravagant outfit at the 2024 Met Gala from the Tesla CEO as he is one of the richest people in the world.
However, the technology billionaire chose to wear a discreet cream-colored jacket over a white top with a black neckline. He paired it with plain pants and shiny dress shoes.
However, there was one interesting feature of his outfit, which was the phrase “novus ordo seclorum”, written on the back of his jacket, but since it was sewn in white, the words were barely noticeable.
The phrase translates from Latin as “new world order.”

The Norwegian billionaire, whose net worth is around $3.8 billion, is known for being one of the most stylish.
However, the black and white striped Palomo suit she wore to the 2023 Met Gala was not her best fashion choice.
Her structured jacket had a unique bodice that bubbled at the hips. Pants that were too long made the outfit look more clunky than elegant.
