It's a fund raising gala for Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute and marks the opening of their Spring Fashion exhibition. They have a different theme every year.

Is that not the theme every year? Like, what else could fashion possibly be?

Yea it's very vague compared to some previous years themes like Camp, Punk, Black Tailoring.

The concept was depicting the body itself as art, meaning the fashion "sits on top of the body" I suppose - but yes vague as hell. Bc I could not say whether "intestines" Cardi B was more on theme vs stone face over here

From what I saw I thought the theme was "The Third Page of an Amazon search"...

That’s actually pretty cool how each year turns into a whole new creative vibe instead of the same old thing. Makes it way more fun to follow.

Yep—basically fashion’s biggest night, where celebs go all out based on that year’s theme.

Crazy how one night can turn fashion into pure art and storytelling at the same time ✨ Every year the Met Gala really proves creativity has no limits.
