The Met Gala is to the world of fashion what the Super Bowl is to sports and the Oscars to the world of film. Only the most famous celebrities are allowed at the event, which she apparently chooses herself Anna Wintourthe editor-in-chief of the American mutation of Vogue magazine and at the same time the patron of the whole event.
Every year, the gala evening follows the exhibition at the Costume Institute as part of the New York exhibition Metropolitan Museum. The evening itself is a kind of celebration of the fusion of fashion and art, and every year it takes place on a different imaginative theme.
In previous years, celebrities and especially their stylists had to deal with, for example, religious or queer themes or the legacy of designer Karl Lagerfeld.
This year, Sleeping Beauty became the main theme. Who bet on the dress in the name of the rose and who was the thorn in the side of the host Anna Wintour?

One of the most beautiful thematic gowns was brought out by a model Gigi Hadidwhich bet on the New York brand Thom Browne.
The surprise of the evening were the two models that the actress wore Zendaya with the help of her stylist Law Roach. She was the first to choose a dress from Maison Margiela by John Galliano, based on his Spring Summer 1999 design for Dior. She completed the dress with a hat from Stephen Jones. Her second look came from the workshop of the same designer, but for the Givenchy fashion house. She accessorized the 1996 gown with a 2007 Alexander McQueen flowered hat by Philip Treacy.
How to get to the Met Gala?
It’s not just like that. Guests at the Met Gala are chosen by Anna Wintour herself. According to information from Time, around 400 celebrities participated this year. In addition to the invitation, it is then necessary to pay the price for the ticket, which rose to $75,000 this year (ie about CZK 1,764,000). That’s $25,000 more than last year.
Nevertheless, the event was sold out and all seats at the tables, which cost $350,000 (approx. 8.1 million crowns), were taken.
But most celebrities don’t spend anything on the gala. They don’t buy tickets or seats at the tables, because they are guests of fashion houses, which at the same time also dress them.
The Kardashians bet on their waistlines
A successful businesswoman attracted a lot of attention again Kim Kardashianwhich attracted more attention than the Margiela model with its extremely slim waist, which caused discussions especially on social networks.
She brought out a simple model Kylie Jennerwhich opted for a fitted nude gown without any embellishments, only with pointed corset cups.
Singer Rita Ora this year she chose a model from the Marni brand. She wore a translucent jumpsuit that hugged her slim figure. Both the front and back of her body were covered by shimmering drapes. Although it was an interesting look, it is not possible to talk too much about the connection with the topic.
The model chose a similar approach Irina Shaykwhich brought out a model that was entirely made of Swarovski stones, but the symbolism of the evening could not be discussed again.
The actress made the same mistake Pamela Anderson. However, her model and overall look was charming and Pamela demonstrated that less is truly more.
