The day of this year’s Met Gala is approaching. This grand event dubbed the biggest celebration in the fashion world, is scheduled to take place on Monday, May 1.
The opening event, which celebrates the annual special exhibition by The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, has been organized since 1995 by Anna Wintour, Editor in Chief of Vogue.
The gala is completely invitation-only, and approximately 600 celebrities, fashion icons, and luminaries will gather at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the day of the event. Reportedly, tickets to attend start at $30,000 per person, and seat fees are estimated at approximately $275,000. Proceeds from the event will be used to fund the activities of the Costume Institute.
Guests attending Met Gala are given a dress code each year based on the theme of the exhibition, and the world pays close attention to the red-carpet outfits of the guests. The theme of the 2022 exhibition was “In America: Anthology of Fashion” and the dress code was “Gilded Glamour. While many celebrities appear on the red carpet each year in outlandish and unique costumes, last year’s event featured gorgeous, sparkling costumes that represented 19th-century American elegance, as well as sculptural silhouettes that continued the tradition.
