NEW YORK — Last year, it took 275,000 bright pink roses to adorn the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Met GalaIt remains to be seen how the museum's Great Hall will be decorated on Monday, but one thing is not in question: those entering it will look spectacular. The theme centers on the late designer Karl Lagerfeld, who made an indelible mark on luxury fashion in his long career at Chanel, Fendi and elsewhere.
Fast forward 70-plus years, and the Met Gala is something totally different, one of the most photographed events in the world for its head-spinning red carpet — though the carpet isn't always red. Then there's Kim Kardashian, bringing commitment to a whole other level. One year, she wore a dress so tight, she admitted she had to take breathing lessons beforehand. Two years ago, she wore a dark bodysuit that covered even her face. And last year she truly stole the carpet, showing up in Marilyn Monroe's actual, rhinestone-studded “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress , changing the minute she got inside to protect it.
But it’s the carpet itself that draws the world’s eyes, with the guest list — strategically withheld until the last minute — featuring a collection of notables from movies, music, fashion, sports, politics and social media that arguably makes for the highest celebrity wattage-per-square-foot of any party in the world.This year's five hosts are drawn from television ; the movies ; sports ; and music . Finally there is Vogue’s Anna Wintour running the whole thing as usual.Yes.
