Before that,in 2018, she did it yet again, this time sitting rather than lying in her Heavenly Bodies-themed attire consisting of a dark and dramatic Givenchy gown, halo-esque headpiece, Cartier jewelry and goth-glam makeup.
That year she captioned the photo, “Tell me the truth: should I stay in and take a bath or go out to the after party?…” which seems to be a theme for the star of not wanting to leave the comfort of a nice hotel tub.
But it all started in 2017.
Collins Instagrammed a photo of herself in her Giambattista Valli confection for that year’s Gala, themed “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between.” She captioned her photo, “Clean up on aisle 4…”
Though that wasn’t Collins' first Met Gala — far from it, actually — it was where her tradition began, and ever since then, she hasn’t let her fans down.
