Alia Bhatt impressed almost everyone at her second appearance at the Met Gala, this year dressed in a traditional Sabyasachi saree. Her choice of outfit and presence on the red carpet garnered widespread attention and applause during the event, which is one of the most exclusive fashion events globally.
The Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is known not just for its star-studded red carpet but also for its high entry costs. A single ticket to the event is reportedly priced at around $75,000 (approximately Rs. 63 lakh), with whole tables costing upwards of $350,000. These funds are primarily used to support the museum's Costume Institute.
Typically, companies and design houses purchase tables and extend invitations to their guests, while celebrities may pay for individual seats. However, every attendee, including those who buy tickets, must receive approval from Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour to attend.
Apart from the glamour of walking the red carpet, the ticket includes exclusive performances by top artists, a viewing of special fashion exhibits, and an array of gourmet food and drinks.
