CHARITY EVENT AND FUNDRAISER FOR THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART’S COSTUME INSTITUTE. IT HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN TIMED TO MARK THE OPENING OF ITS ANNUAL FASHION EXHIBITION. YEAR AFTER YEAR, THE EVENT RAISES EIGHT-FIGURE SUMS. WHAT HAPPENS AT THEMETGALA? IN SHORT: IT’S A SECRET. FOR THIS REASON, GUESTS MUST ABIDE BY THE NO-PHONE (AND, THEREFORE, NO SOCIAL MEDIA) POLICY.
HOWEVER, YOU CAN SEE EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS
FROM INSIDE THE 2023 MET GALA HERE AND CATCH A GLIMPSE OF THE TABLE SETTINGS, MENU, AND DECOR. KENDALL JENNER ALSO GAVE US A BEHIND- THE-SCENES LOOK AT THE MET GALA THROUGH HER CAMERA IN 2021.
THE EVENT USUALLY INVOLVES A HIGH-PROFILE
PERFORMER (LIKE RIHANNA OR JUSTIN BIEBER). AND GUESTS ALWAYS EXPLORE THE EXHIBITION BEFORE SITTING DOWN TOGETHER FOR DINNER. WHERE IS THE MET GALA HELD? The Met Gala takes place at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on the first Monday in May each year (with the exception of the 2021 event, which took place in September due to COVID-19 restrictions).
Guests attending the Met Gala typically
stay in hotels nearby, congregating at a few celebrity-favorite spots. Last year, the Mark Hotel was a prime location for celebrity-spotting; see our photos from inside its halls. #faugetprendas
Until the evening before the event, the guest
list is top secret. But some of the biggest names in the business regularly attend—from Beyoncé and Gigi Hadid to Madonna and Rihanna. More often than not, designers attend with their muses: think Marc Jacobs and Kate WHO IS INVITED Moss, or Nicolas Ghesquière and Emma Stone. TO THE MET GALA? El mensaje THANK YOU Camila Gargallo
