The Met Gala, also known as the Costume Institute Benefit or Met Ball, has a rich history dating back to 1948 when it was simply dubbed the “Party of the Year.” The annual event is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and is hosted by Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine.

The theme for each year’s gala is set by the Costume Institute’s exhibition that is on display during that time. In recent years, the event has become a platform for celebrities and designers to showcase their creativity and fashion artistry.
However, it wasn’t until 1995 that the Met Gala began to generate significant media attention and raise substantial funds for the museum. Today, it has become one of the most exclusive events in popular culture with tickets priced at $30,000 per person. The Back History of Met Gala reveals how this iconic celebration brings together a fusion of art and fashion while serving as a major fundraising event for one of America’s leading cultural institutions.
