Met Gala Guests Take Artistic Liberties with Dress Code
Guests will wear archival pieces and custom looks as the Met Gala livestreams arrivals and interviews for the Costume Institute benefit.
- On Monday, stars including Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, and Venus Williams ascend The Metropolitan Museum steps for the Met Gala, interpreting the theme 'Fashion is art' through their creative outfits.
- Art historian Nancy Hall-Duncan notes that while 19th-century critics viewed Fashion as frivolous, the dress code set by Wintour and Costume Institute curator Andrew Bolton officially declares Fashion is Art.
- Designers have bridged this divide: Designer Elsa Schiaparelli's 1937 collaboration with Spanish artist Salvador Dalí, Yves Saint Laurent's 1965 Piet Mondrian shift dresses, and Marc Jacobs's 2002 partnership with Takashi Murakami for Louis Vuitton.
- Ashley Graham, Anthony, and Cara Delevingne host the Vogue livestream starting at 6 p.m., allowing the public to watch celebrities arrive at the fundraising event for the Costume Institute.
- The high-profile gala raises money for the Costume Institute while inviting celebrities to deliver their own performance art on the carpet, solidifying the museum's long-standing effort to redefine Fashion as Art.
