The Met Gala: this year and past editions

Celebrities and major designers flock to the red carpet each year
on the first Monday in May to attend the Met Gala fundraiser for the
benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New
York City and to mark the opening of the museum’s latest fashion
exhibition. This year’s gala, co-chaired by Amal Clooney, Rihanna and
Donatella Versace, celebrated the “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the
Catholic Imagination,” exhibition, which also inspired the dress code
of attendees’ wardrobe.
