The Met Gala, also known as the Met Ball, happens every year at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. Here, they showcase stunning outfits made by the top fashion brands such as Versace, Gucci, Dior, Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton. These outfits are worn by global superstars from well-known YouTubers, artists and actresses, to singers like Rihanna, who did a collaboration with Balenciaga wearing an all black outfit at Met Gala 2021. Singer Justin Bieber wore ‘oversized’ pants by Maison Drew and Kim Kardashian made a shocking appearance at the Met Gala that got the media talking. Take a look at her Balenciaga outfit designed by Demna Gvasalia!
How did the Met Gala start?
The Met Gala first made its appearance back in the 1920s with two ladies: theatre producer Irene Lewisohn and stage designer ALine Bernstein. They both had a passion for making customers for theatre designers and, as time went past, they joined the museum of art as “The Costume Institute”. It wasn’t until 1948 that the Met Gala was born, which was thanks to Eleanor Lambert who was the fashion publisher at the time.
