Met and its legacy
The Met Gala as we know it today is one of the biggest events for fashion, celebrity, and pop culture.
But it wasn’t always a night of dramatic, star-studded costumes.
The event underwent a cultural shift when Diana Vreeland was hired as a consultant for the Costume Institute, the Met Gala venue was moved to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a Gala theme was added in the history.
Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour now oversees the benefits, guest list, and themes and works closely with the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the event each year. It is also said to approve which designer a prominent guest is wearing and to reject guests selected by table sponsors in favour of others.
