This picture of Sarah Paulson is all of us seeing celebrities at the Met Gala

The Met Gala is a chance for the famous to attend a museum, and wear the most extra clothes they can uncover. At least that's what those uninitiated in the fashion world think anyway.

And the 2017 event did not disappoint. The evening's theme was Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between', celebrating the work of designer Rei Kawakubo.

The annual red carpet and exclusive event takes place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City and saw the likes of...

Nicki Minaj

Dakota Johnson

P. Diddy

Katy Perry

Ruby Rose and Donald Glover

Bad Girl RiRi won, clearly

But the show was somewhat stolen from these fashionable folk by actor and national treasure Sarah Paulson.

Her reaction to Madonna is pretty much how Madonna expects to be greeted anyway.

She's Madonna.

In the moments after Paulson and Madonna were photographed talking on the red (in this case blue) carpet.

Paulson had a pretty good night, including dancing with the cast of Stranger Things.

Hero.
