The Met Gala, formally called the Costume Institute Gala or the Costume Institute Benefit and also known as the Met Ball, is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. It marks the opening of the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibit.[4] Each year's event celebrates the theme of that year's Costume Institute exhibition, and the exhibition sets the tone for the formal dress of the night, since guests are expected to choose their fashion to match the theme of the exhibit.

History [edit]

The Met Gala was established in 1948 by fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert as a way to raise money for the newly-founded Costume Institute and mark the opening of its annual exhibit. The first gala was a dinner and tickets were fifty dollars each.[5] For the first few decades of its existence the gala was simply one of many annual benefits held for New York charitable institutions. Accordingly, the attendees of the early galas were almost entirely members of New York high society or the city's fashion industry. From 1948 to 1971, the event was held at venues including the Waldorf-Astoria, Central Park, and the Rainbow Room.[6]

The Gala is widely regarded as among the most prominent and most exclusive social events in the world. It is also one of the biggest fundraising nights in New York City, with $9 million raised in 2013 and a record of $12 million the following year.[7] [8] [9] [10] The Met Gala is one of the most notable sources of funding for the Institute,[11] with contributions anticipated to surpass $200 million in total after the 2019 event since Anna Wintour's assuming the chairmanship of the Institute in 1995.[12]

When Diana Vreeland became consultant to the Costume Institute in 1972, the Gala began to evolve into a more glamorous affair, although one that was still aimed at the societal set.[13] The event started to become more celebrity-oriented with attendees like Elizabeth Taylor, Andy Warhol, Bianca Jagger, Diana Ross, Elton John, Liza Minnelli and Cher intermixing with the city's elite.[6] It was during the Vreeland years that the Gala was first held at the Met and that Gala themes were introduced.[6]

Since 1948, the Met Gala has occurred consecutively each year, except in 2000 and 2002.[ citation needed ] The 2020 Met Gala was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The gala resumed in 2021 but was held in September rather than May.[14]

Present day [edit]

The Met Costume Institute Gala is a major fundraising benefit that serves as an opening celebration for the Institute's annual fashion exhibit.[15] [16] Following the event, the exhibition runs for several months. For example, the 2014 exhibition was scheduled to run from May 8 until August 10, 2014.[17] The affair, attended by personalities from the arts, fashion, high-society, film, and music, has been held at the Met since 1948[18] and is considered to be the fashion industry's premier annual red carpet event.[16] [19] [20] [21] [22] Its red carpet fashions are widely photographed, reviewed, critiqued, and emulated.[23] [24] [25] [26] The museum is closed to the general public on the first Monday of May due to the Gala occurring.[27]

Anna Wintour, Vogue editor-in-chief and a chairwoman of the Gala event since 1995 (excluding 1996 and 1998), oversees both the benefit committee and the guest list, with Vogue staffers helping assemble the list of invitees.[4] [20] In 2014, the individual tickets cost US$30,000 for those outside the official guest list, after prices were raised by $10,000 to increase the exclusivity of the event.[28] [20] [29] The annual guest list is limited to approximately 650 or 700 people.[30] [31]

The 2015 Gala and its theme of "China: Through the Looking Glass" became the subject of a documentary—The First Monday in May directed by Andrew Rossi produced by Condé Nast Entertainment, Vogue, and Relativity Studios.[32] 225 approved photographers, reporters, and social media participants documented the event for the documentary.[33] All other attendees were forbidden from using social media at the event.[34] Guests received notices about the restriction of selfies and social media inside the gala.[35] The no-selfie ordinance was extended to the following editions of the Met Gala. As of 2018, Wintour announced that guests may not be allowed to attend the gala before the age of 18.[36]

Themes [edit]

The Gala is assigned a theme each year related to the exhibit, and attendees are expected to interpret the theme through fashion.[37] It includes a cocktail hour and a formal dinner.[38] [39] During the cocktail hour, guests arrive to walk on the red carpet, tour the year's special themed exhibition, and be seated before the dinner party that includes entertainment from the preeminent entertainers of the day.[31] The theme not only sets the tone for the annual exhibit, but also for the guests who attempt to dress to uphold the theme of the year, oftentimes causing runs on certain fashion themes among the world's leading fashion retailers.[40] [41] Sometimes, such as in 2013, the theme given is considered unclear or difficult to follow because it does not provide a clear stylistic directive, while at other times, such as in 2014, the theme may be far more challenging for one gender.[42] [43] Although, according to Vogue in 2021 Met Gala: American Fashion, Andrew Bolton was "really impressed by American designers' responses to the social and political climate, particularly around issues of body inclusivity and gender fluidity".[44]

Controversy [edit]

Models Naomi Campbell and Stephanie Seymour pulled out of attending the 2009 Gala at the last minute, in a show of support for designer Azzedine Alaïa.[45] [46] After discovering that none of his work was included in the Costume Institute exhibit, Alaïa asked the models not to wear the dresses he had designed for them to the Gala and they chose not to attend altogether. Alaïa was well-known for having close relationships with his models, and his exclusion from the "Model as Muse" exhibit was seen as a snub.[47] He criticized Wintour (with whom he had a longtime feud)[48] for having "too much power over this museum."[45]

In 2014, when the Met Gala announced a dress code requiring white tie, a number of media outlets pointed out the difficulty and expense of obtaining traditional white tie, even for the celebrity guests.[49] [50]

In 2015, the Gala's theme, originally named "Chinese Whispers: Tales of the East in Art, Film and Fashion", was renamed to "China: Through the Looking Glass".[51] The theme was met with critics saying it was "A reminder of the subtle institutionalised racism that's been compounded by centuries of Asian isolationism across the board, and enduring Western stereotypes exacerbated by ignorance and the meme-able nature of social media."[51]

In 2016, Madonna, whilst channeling the theme "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology", provided one of the most controversial outfits in the Gala's history. She appeared in an ensemble designed by Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci exposing both her breasts and buttocks.[52] Madonna hit back on her official social media channels by stating "We have fought and continue to fight for civil rights and gay rights around the world. When it comes to women's rights we are still in the dark ages. My dress at the Met Ball was a political statement as well as a fashion statement".[53]

The 2018 Gala had a Roman Catholic theme, and included Rihanna wearing a papal mitre. Critics on social media called it "blasphemous" and "sacrilegious cosplay", even though the Catholic Church lent more than forty papal vestments from the Vatican, and Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan attended.[54] [55] Kyle Smith argued that the Catholic Church was in fact "abetting the mockery of its symbols".[56]
