After seven years away from the Met Gala, Lena Dunham returned on the host committee in a custom red Valentino by Alessandro Michele that took its inspiration not from a painting's narrative or its composition but from a single drop of blood on a painted neck. Here is everything behind the look.

When Venus Williams said on the morning of May 4 that co-chairing the Met Gala felt "really full circle," she was not being vague.
