Jennifer Lopez is one of Met Gala’s most famous icons. See photos of her best looks over the years!

Jennifer Lopez is the belle of the ball wherever she goes. And when it comes to the Met Gala, she certainly knows how to show up. The singer/actress made her debut during the 1999 event and hasn’t stopped stunning since. Always down to dress up, J. Lo nails the theme year after year with her awesome ensembles.
