The Met Gala is where celebrities ascend to style icon status.
Despite the wealth of designer gowns and bespoke suits, few accomplish that feat, but those who do earn themselves a place in fashion history. The greatest hits, Rihanna’s papal chic, Kate Moss’s golden turban, Sarah Jessica Parker’s tartan Alexander McQueen, Erykah Badu’s glittering top hat, and Madonna in a hippie caftan, rank among the best outfits ever to be worn. And their charms wouldn’t have been as compelling on another night.
How much does it cost to attend the Met Gala?
Tickets are $35,000 each. This year’s theme is “In America: An Anthology of Fashion.” The guest list is generally kept secret, but Katy Perry and Megan Thee Stallion have both said they will attend.
The Met Gala is an event held annually on the first Monday of May, which is the opening of the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibit hosted on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
