The Met Gala 2021: What To Expect, Who to Look Out For, and How to Watch

The Met Gala is a very important event for people in the fashion industry, and it’s also one of the most star-studded events. During last year’s gala, the Metropolitan Museum of Art was decorated with a stunning display of 275,000 bright pink roses!

On the first Monday of May, something exciting will happen at the museum – it’s the day to decorate its Great Hall! The decorations will revolve around a theme dedicated to someone who made an big impact in luxury fashion: Karl Lagerfeld. He was famous for working with Chanel and Fendi. However some people have controversial opinions about him because of certain statements he said about topics like #MeToo and body shapes.

Are you wondering what will happen when the big day arrives? Don’t worry! We made a special guide for you with some important new details.

The Met Gala started in 1948 as a simple late night gathering – but now, it has become something incredible. More than 70 years later, it’s one of the most photographed occasions in all of the world, as people show up wearing beautiful outfits that can sometimes even vary in colour from red!

Rihanna was dressed as a Pope with jewels. Zendaya looked like Cinderella in an amazing light up gown. Katy Perry transformed from a chandelier into a hamburger! Beyoncé wore the famous “naked dress,” while Billy Porter was like an Egyptian Sun God carried by 6 muscular men. Lady Gaga put on an awesome 16-minute show, and Blake Lively’s Versace dress last year kept changing colors right in front of us!

Kim Kardashian is setting the bar high when it comes to her red carpet looks. Last year, she wore a very special dress – Marilyn Monroe’s “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress. People got suspicious that she had damaged it and thus Ripley’s Believe It or Not! museum denied this accusation. For this year too, Kim will come back with something different – she recently showed off a photo she took in Paris with Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette as if she was looking for attire options to wear at an event.

The party has a reason! Last year, this party made $17.4 million for the Met’s Costume Institute, which is a department that pays for itself. That’s a lot of money! And it opens up the annual spring exhibit, bringing in lots of visitors to the museum.

The carpet at this event is very beautiful and special since it’s part of the celebrity guest list. There are famous people from categories like movies, music, fashion, sports, politics, and social media! All these famous people together make for an amazing experience – more celebrities than any other similar event in the world!

This year’s five hosts come from some pretty cool sources: TV (Michaela Coel, who won an Emmy Award), movies (Penélope Cruz, who also won an Oscar and worked with Chanel for over 20 years), sports (the tennis legend Roger Federer, who retired recently), music (Grammy winner Dua Lipa) and fashion (Anna Wintour is running the show).

The exhibit at the Met is about Karl Lagerfeld and it’s called “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”. It features the designer’s style from when he started designing in the 1950s until the final collection he completed in 2019. The curator of this exhibit is Andrew Bolton, who is famous for his work on different shows at The Met.

Not everybody likes to go for big and crazy with their fashion. Some people take the time to research the theme very carefully and match their outfits perfectly. For example, when the theme was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” Rihanna dressed up as pope, Zendaya dressed up like Joan of Arc, and Perry had a set of enormous angel wings which looked amazing! But this time designer Lagerfeld might make something less grandiose but still cool.

It’s not possible to just buy a ticket. If you’re famous or have power, you could be invited and then it would cost something.

Companies usually buy tickets for events like a fashion show, where celebrities come and host the event. This year, it costs $50,000 for a single ticket, and even more if you get a table: around $300,000 dollars. Prices have gone up as they do every few years due to rising expenses.

This year, there will be around 400 visitors which is the same amount compared to the last few years. This number is still less than what it used to be (500-600) before the pandemic. Everyone’s invitation needs to have been approved by Wintour and her team first.

If you want to predict who will be at the Met Gala, make a list of the most popular names, like recent Oscar winners and Broadway stars. Also add those who love sports, especially tennis! Then take off everyone except the biggest celebrities – this gala is only for A-list people!

Tina Fey went to a place in 2010 and she wanted to find someone to talk with, but couldn’t find anyone “normal”. So, eventually she ended up talking with Barbara Walters.

You can watch the event online through a Vogue livestream. If you’re in New York, you can also go to Fifth Avenue or Madison and join other fans who have gathered behind barricades. Famous actor Timothée Chalamet might even come out to meet everyone!

It’s a secret who is going to come to the event, but rumors still get out. We can count on well-known celebrities that are ambassadors for Chanel being there.

When you step inside a museum, you can choose to either go straight ahead to view the exhibit or find yourself a spot in the lobby first and enjoy looking at the beautiful flower display. Some people might even take it up a notch by coming later while listening to music played by an orchestra. A cocktail hour is set from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m., but those who want more attention usually come after eight o’ clock with their stylish looks.

At 8 o’clock at night, everyone is invited to have dinner. At this time, a group of people play instruments (like trumpets) which can be heard – just like Gary Oldman said one year.

Sometimes, people don’t want to go. In 2015, Fey joked about the gala saying it was a “party for all the people you wish you could punch if you had lots of arms.” Amy Schumer left early in 2016 and said that she felt uncomfortable like it was some sort of punishment.

Actress Amy Schumer attended the Met Gala in 2017 and again last year. If you want more information about the 2023 Met Gala, go to https://bigbignews.net/met-gala
