The countdown to the most glamorous night in fashion has officially begun as celebrities from all walks of life prepare to descend upon the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the annual Met Gala on May 6. This year’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” promises to showcase some of the most exquisite and rare garments from the Costume Institute’s collection.
The star-studded guest list includes the likes of Rihanna, Ben Affleck, Tom Holland, Lily Gladstone, Gisele Bundchen, Kendall Jenner, Olivia Rodrigo, Uma Thurman, Sarah Paulson, Cara Delevingne, and Barry Keoghan, among others. Speculation is also rife over whether Taylor Swift will make an appearance, despite her busy schedule.
The Met Gala isn’t just a night of glitz and glamour, it also serves a philanthropic purpose, raising funds for the Met’s Costume Institute and launching the annual spring exhibit that draws in hundreds of thousands of visitors.
With tickets priced at $50,000 per person and tables starting at $350,000, the Met Gala is an exclusive affair that money can’t buy – you have to be invited. But for those who can’t attend in person, Vogue will be livestreaming the event, giving fans a front-row seat to all the fashion and festivities.
As the fashion world eagerly anticipates what promises to be another unforgettable night of haute couture, one thing is certain – the Met Gala is where true love’s kiss meets an invite to the most exclusive party in town.
