It's officially T-minus three days away 'til the Met Gala, and we're prepping you on all you need to know for this year's star-studded event.

By this point, you've probably heard all about this year's theme—Rei Kawakubo—and her contributions to fashion, especially through her company, Comme des Garcons. Although it may sound like the clothing line has just come into the spotlight, A-listers (such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake and much more) have actually been spotted strutting Rei's designs for years now.  

Hollywood's biggest stars are able to rep the brand wherever they go, whether that's on the red carpet, at the airport or just on the streets. Keep scrolling to see the celebs who have loved Comme Des Garcons over the years.

The Best Met Gala Looks Ever
Sarah Jessica Parker

Don't think fashion brand Comme des Garcons is just hearts and crazy silhouettes. In 1998, SJP wore this floral, A-line gown on a VH1 Save the Music red carpet.   

Kanye West

Before Kim was KKW, Kanye cuddled up to Amber Rose in a denim jacket and a CDG tee. 

Alexa Chung

In 2010, the fashion influencer wore a beige cardigan to a Topshop event. 

Lady Gaga

In 2012, Mother Monster was spotted outside a Paris hotel wearing this voluminous, two-tone CDG dress. 

Kylie Minogue

We wonder what the singer was gifted with after being spotted leaving Comme des Garcons' Paris office. 

Azealia Banks

You can always go the schoolgirl-chic approach with a CDG Play button-down

Diane Kruger

A Breton-esque shirt, or striped cotton tee, and jeans makes for ideal celebrity airport style. 

Lady Gaga

Gaga was spotted in head-to-toe CDG again; this time in a pin-stripe suit for the 2013 Daily Front Row Fashion LA Awards.

Kendrick Lamar

A PLAY Piqué Polo with Heart Appliqué makes for some pretty dope concert-wear, too. 

Dianna Agron

While the actress' ensemble looks like a dress, it's actually a lace top and Comme des Garcons embellished skirt. 

Stella Maxwell

The model is pretty clutch with her mini CDG bag. 

Justin Timberlake

For some reason, celebs really love wearing CDG Play pieces to and from the airport. 

Drake

And while performing.

Bonnie Wright

Of course, the Play basics, like the cardigan the Harry Potter star is wearing, make for stylish work uniform. 

Anna Dello Russo

Other than celebs, there are a few select fashion editors that can wear CDG's most out-there ensembles with confidence.  

Victoria Beckham

Both Posh and hubby David Beckham are regularly spotted at the runway shows and shopping at CDG stores. 

Joe Jonas

The middle Jonas bro was recently spotted around in a Supreme x Comme des Garcons collaboration tee. 

Kiernan Shipka

It's hard to mess up a classic. When in doubt, pair a CDG basic with denim and go!

With a wide array of designs including anything from intricately detailed gowns to tees with the brand's iconic heart logo, it's clear that Comme des Garcons is a fan-favorite for the rich and famous.

Kawakubo's abstract and avant-garde aesthetic may be different from the norm, but that's exactly what draws celebs in. Her designs are original, making her one of the most influential designers today.
