Each year, a host of celebrities and fashion influencers come dressed in theme, wearing custom — and expensive — designer gowns and suits. But on Monday at New York's [Metropolitan Museum of Art](https://time.com/3710456/museum-self-stick/), seven celebrities opted to wear looks designed by a more affordable retailer: H&M. Following the theme "[Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art and the In-Between](https://time.com/4540904/comme-des-garcons-rei-kawakubo-met-gala-theme-2017/)" for this year's Costume Institute exhibition, H&M designers created gowns and suits for rapper Nicki Minaj and model Ashley Graham, among others, that celebrated themes of deconstruction and asymmetry. Each look was custom made and one of a kind, according to H&M, and drew on the company's past experience collaborating with Comme des Garçons in 2008. This is not the first time the affordable retailer has made an appearance at fashion's biggest night. In past years, H&M designed gowns for [Jennifer Hudson](https://time.com/4304516/jennifer-hudson-prince-tribute-purple-rain/), Ciara and Amber Valletta. It's unclear if any of these looks — or ensembles inspired by them — will make an appearance at H&M stores for customers to purchase. But, in the meantime, check out each H&M look below. ![NEW YORK, USA - MAY 01 : Nicki Minaj attends the 'Rei Kawakubo / Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between' Costume Institute Gala 2017 at Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, United States on May 01, 2017.

Cherry red organza ruffles fell from her shoulder down the dress to the skirt. Graham was unable to find a designer to complete a look for her for the event last year. "I have loved collaborating with \[H&M\] every step of the way," Graham told [H&M Magazine](http://www.hm.com/kw/magazine/fashion/the-circus/2017/05/nicki-minaj_-joe-jonas-and-sasha-lane-wore-custom-hm-at-the-met-). ![NEW YORK, NY - MAY 01: Future attends the "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between" Costume Institute Gala at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 1, 2017 in New York City.
