The annual Met Gala is typically on the first Monday in May. The gala is always star-studded and draws buzz on social media as people rate celebrity looks of the evening and discuss who dressed to theme best. This year’s exhibit and celebrity guests worked with a gala theme that looked at how fashion and the natural world interact. The gala began in 1948 as a small fundraiser—though now it raises millions of dollars annually to keep the Costume Institute at the Met going.
This year’s exhibit features what the museum called “sleeping beauties,” or garments that aren’t able to go on mannequins anymore “due to their extreme fragility.”
