Met Gala in pictures: The good, dramatic and hilarious
Colloquially and affectionately referred to as “fashion’s biggest night out,” the Met Gala 2018 was a pinnacle of iconic style. A fundraising benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the yearly event welcomes celebrity stars, young creatives, and industry paragons alike. And the excitement doesn’t stop there—the gala also signifies the highly anticipated grand opening of the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibition: “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” opening on May 10, 2018.
