Once a year, the MEtropolitan Museum of Arts and Costume in New York changes the theme of its exhibition. To celebrate this, a grand ball is organized on the first Monday of May and several prestigious guests are invited to preview the costumes and collection pieces exhibited in the museum. Since 1995, Anna Wintour has overseen the festivities and chosen the guests of the famous MET Gala.
More than just a social evening, it is above all a costume ball with a specific theme, a theme that corresponds precisely to the theme of the exhibition taking place in the museum. This year, the theme was: “In America: An anthology of Fashion”. Some personalities like Kim Kardashian, who paid tribute to Marilyn Monroe by wearing an iconic dress she wore in 1962, have taken up the challenge with flying colors. Others have unfortunately disappointed Internet users with unconvincing looks.
We think of Kourtney Kardashian who attended the ball for the first time but who did not bet on an extraordinary outfit. We also think of Nicki Minaj and Irina Shayk who both bet on the black leather pants.
