What Is The Met Gala And When Does It happen?

Met Gala is an annual charity event held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City every year. It is also referred to as the Met Ball and is organized to raise money for the Costume Institute at the Met. Although the night is more commonly referred to as either the Met Ball or the Met Gala, the event is formally known as the Costume Institute Gala.

If you are a fashion enthusiast, you might already be familiar with the phrase, but the Met Gala is traditionally held on the first Monday in May. Honoring tradition, Vogue reports that the Met Gala 2023 will be held on May 1, 2023. Subsequently, the related display will be open to the public from May 5 to July 16.

The gala is a fundraiser dedicated to New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute – formerly named The Anna Wintour Costume Center. It is in homage to the American Vogue’s editor-in-chief, who has been a chair member of the museum’s gala since 1995.

Who Chairs The Event?

Other than Anna Wintour, each year the event brings honorary chair members and hosts. The late Karl Lagerfeld and Gianni Versace were the first designers chosen to co-chair the night, in 1995.

How To Get Invited To Met Gala?

If you think buying a ticket is the only way one can make it to the Met Gala, then you are mistaken. The team at Vogue carefully curates a list of guests for the event every year to make sure that anyone who is the ‘IT’ celebrity of the season makes it to the Met Gala. Such celebrities are sent out invites and they get to be a part of the event without buying tickets or donating anything to the charity.

So, apart from being an actress, model, musician, Vogue editor, A-lister’s plus one, or wealthy enough to donate hundreds of thousands to the Met Museum, you can also become a sponsor and attend! Oh, if you are super-rich and almost on the edge of your seat, about to get your cheque books out; you might want to hold off. Because only those who have Anna Wintour’s official seal of approval will be able to attend.
