WHAT IS THE MET GALA 2023?
The Met Gala is a fundraising benefit hosted for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The event welcomes stars and young creatives who walk the red carpet in their unique ensembles. It started in 1948 as a society midnight supper and wasn’t even held at the MET. And now, it has become one of the most photographed events in the world for the head-spinning looks celebrities wear to the event.
