The Met Gala or The Met Ball is an annual fundraiser for The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. Year after year, this event raises at least an eight-figure amount
The Met has a strict no phone policy which means no photos and no selfies. Guests are pre-informed that use of phones for photography and social media will not be permitted inside
There is a strict no-smoking rule inside the museum. However, in 2017, celebrities such as Bella Hadid and Dakota Johnson were pictured smoking in the bathroom at the event
The Met Gala hosts a cocktail hour and a formal dinner. There is no onion, and no garlic in food to avoid bad breath. Any food that can cause spillages on extravagant ensembles is also avoided
According to the event rules, spouses are never seated next to each other as the whole point of the event is to meet new people and to be interested in what others are doing
Indian celebs such as Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and more have ruled the red carpet of the Met Gala. Fans await their looks this year!
This year, the event is titled as the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” and will feature approximately 250 rarely-seen-before items. None can be touched by any attendees!
The official dress code for this year is “The Garden of Time”. It is inspired by J.G. Ballard's short story of the same title, written in 1962. It can be interpreted in some ways!
