the Costume Institute Gala

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.

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.

What is the Met gala theme 2021?

American Independence
This year’s Gala theme is “American Independence” which gave attendees a wide berth of ideas to play with from founding fathers in powdered wigs and star-spangled gowns, to Lady Liberty cosplay and, of course, all things red, white, and blue.

Who pays for the Met Gala?

The event is, after all, a fundraiser for the museum’s Costume Institute.

The Institute – which serves as the museum’s fashion department –

is the only department in the museum that must fund itself, so the stars lend a helping hand.
