What is the Met Gala?


The Met Gala is an annual fundraising gala for the Metropolitan Museum Of Art's Costume Institute in New York. The gala has a different theme every year, and it is one of the most exclusive fashion events. Anna Wintour, Vogue editor-in-chief decides who is invited to the benefit. The gala theme this year is Charles James: Beyond Fashion with "white-tie and decorations". Last year the gala raised nine million dollars, and tickets this year were $25,000 per guest!


The following are gowns designed by Charles James.
