Officially the Costume Institute Benefit, the Met Gala raises money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute and opens its spring exhibition. Held the first Monday in May, it draws A-list actors, musicians, designers and athletes in elaborate themed looks.
The theme and the steps
Each year's red carpet follows a dress-code theme tied to the exhibition, and the arrivals on the museum's steps set the fashion conversation for months. Anna Wintour has chaired the event for decades.
