Join us for a fashion-filled afternoon celebrating the Met Gala, the annual haute couture fundraising event held to benefit the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. Enjoy light bites and beverages, courtesy of the new Camello Restaurant at The Esplanade, while previewing fashions, purchasing raffle tickets and posing for photos as you watch a livestream of celebrity arrivals on the red carpet. Helen Jean, the Jacquie Dorrance Curator of Fashion, will discuss the standout fashions and share her insights on this year’s theme.
The Met’s new spring fashion exhibition is Costume Art, examines the centrality of the dressed body by juxtaposing garments and works of art from across the museum’s vast collection, creating pairings that illuminate the inseparable connection between clothing and the body, as well as the complex interplay between artistic representations of the body and fashion as an embodied art form.
Tied to the featured exhibition, the dress code for the Gala is “Fashion Art”, which invites guests to express their own relationship to fashion as a dressed art form and celebrate the countless depictions of the adorned body throughout art history.
Raffle tickets will be available for purchase until 4pm by credit card at the event:
1 raffle ticket: $20
3 raffle tickets: $40
10 raffle tickets: $100
Dress to impress! Join us dressed in your interpretation of this year’s theme for an afternoon of camaraderie, couture, and style.
