A group of “Tax the rich” protesters gathered outside the Met Gala on Monday night, temporarily blocking a van carrying Paris Hilton as they railed against the lavish star-studded event.
The ruckus outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art was well-documented on social media and resulted in at least one protester being arrested.
The event inside featured Jared Leto in a catsuit as celebrities paid tribute to legendary and problematic designer Karl Lagerfeld.
