We predict many stars are going to be having a pretty chill weekend—definitely a lazy Sunday. Why? Well, Monday is going to be total Met Gala mayhem, that's why! And considering what we've been hearing about this year's event, those lucky enough to score an invite (and able to afford the $25,000 ticket) are going to need to rest up for the fête.

Of course, it's been well publicized that Jennifer Lawrence and Gong Li will be co-hosting alongside Anna Wintour. And you've probably heard that the theme is "China: Through the Looking Glass." But now to make sure you're completely up-to-date before Monday, here are a few insider tidbits—and some predictions—about the 2015 Met Gala.

Did You Know…?

1. The Pre-Show: Most attendees are getting glam at The Mark Hotel. Yes, the hallways and lobby will be literally wall-to-wall with A-listers and the sidewalk is sure to be lined with paparazzi trying to get a first look at the couture gowns before they hit the red carpet.

2. Love Will Be In the Air: This year is going to be all about Hollywood's top power couples. You can expect to see dynamic duos Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds—Plus, sources tell E! News that a pair of newlyweds will be one of the night's most talked about moments.                                                                                    

3. After the Party is the After-Party: While stars like Rihanna, Katy Perry and Michael Kors are said to be throwing their own post-Met Gala shindigs, we're hearing the main hot spot will be at the Boom Boom Room, where Lady Gaga rumored to be performing.

Bet Ya This Happens On Monday Night…

1. Stuffy Meet Silly: As if you had any doubt, J.Law is sure to make this the most fun red carpet of the year. Or at least the most GIF-able.

2. Gal Pal Power: We predict that fashionable BFFs (such as Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss, Reese Witherspoon and Sofía Vergara, Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne) steal the spotlight from the couples.

3. Pattern Maker: After sneaking a peek at the dresses featured in this year's exhibit we have no doubt that artful, Eastern-inspired prints will be the night's biggest trend.

Bonus: Someone will wear a naked dress. This is less a prediction and more of a fact. It happens every year and 2015 will be no exception.
