Along with the excitement and glamour that come with getting dressed for the Met Gala, we imagine each star also feels a certain amount of fear. Not only is there the pressure of dressing on theme and being judged by Anna Wintour and the style elite, but mounting the museum's famed staircase is no small feat when you're outfitted in a sprawling ball gown or restrictive couture.
