The Met Gala, short for the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala, is an annual fundraising event for the benefit of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It marks the grand opening of the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibit.Often referred to as the "Oscars of the East Coast," the Met Gala attracts celebrities from various fields, including fashion, film, music, and art. The attendees typically dress according to a specific theme, which can range from historical periods to cultural movements or specific designers.?
