Jennifer Lopez has attended more than a dozen Met Galas over the years.
She is a co-chair for this year's Met Gala on Monday, which has the theme "The Garden of Time."

More than twenty years after her Met Gala debut, Jennifer Lopez is co-chairing the biggest night in fashion.

She'll join Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, and Bad Bunny at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 6 to celebrate "Sleeping Beauty: Reawakening Fashion," this year's exhibit.

Lopez has worn a range of styles during her appearances on the museum's iconic steps, and her looks have only become more bold and daring through the years.

So as we wait to see her next big red carpet moment, let's take a look back at every Met Gala outfit — ranked from least to most iconic.

Jennifer Lopez made her Met Gala debut in a safe monochromatic look reflective of the times.
