STORYLINE:
Celebrities from the worlds of film, fashion, music, sports, politics and social media ascended the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday to sip cocktails, have dinner and sample the new exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”
But first, the fashion! The green carpet was busy as stars including Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian and Nicole Kidman arrived at the Met Gala.
The “Sleeping Beauties” title refers to garments from the Costume Institute’s collection that have been “in slumber” and now will be on display, some too fragile to hang upright lest they disintegrate. Curator Andrew Bolton picked 250 pieces spanning four centuries.
The gala started in 1948 as a society midnight supper and wasn’t even at the Met. Fast forward 70-plus years, and it’s one of the most photographed events in the world. Beyond the fashion moments, the event also raises money for the Met’s Costume Institute. Nearly $22 million was raised last year, a record for the self-funding department. And the annual spring exhibit brings hundreds of thousands of visitors to the museum as well.
Besides Vogue’s Anna Wintour who coordinates the event, other gala hosts this year include Zendaya, Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, and Chris Hemsworth — a first-time gala attendee.
