Remember Kim Kardashian's all-black Balenciaga suit at Met Gala 2021??
Or Priyanka Chopra's curly hair and silver dress that made her several publications' best-dressed celebs at the Met Gala 2019??
Almost all celebrities don outrageous outfits to Met Gala every year and end up becoming a target of trolls and memes. But why would they dress so outlandishly??
Here's why people choose weird outfits for Met Gala every year.
What is Met Gala?
Also known as?Met Ball, which was earlier called the Costume Institute Gala or Costume Institute Benefit, Met Gala is a?fundraiser for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City.?
It's like a fashion party where there's a theme/dress code every year, and celebrities are bound to dress up accordingly in the most unconventional way instead of playing safe.?The designers not only get to work with the celebrities closely but they also get to experiment a lot. Mostly, the themes are an ode to designers from the past.?
What's Met Gala 2023 theme??
The theme this year is 'In Honour of Karl...' dedicated to fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld.?
The controversy around it
While some people have labelled Karl as a fashion genius, several others are talking about his comments on #MeToo to curvy bodies. As soon as the theme was announced, British actress Jameela Jamil said, "Why is THIS who we celebrate when there are so many AMAZING designers out there who aren't bigoted white men? What happened to everyone's principles and 'advocacy.' You don't get to stand for justice in these areas, and then attend the celebration of someone who reveled in his own public disdain for marginalized people."
Karl Lagerfeld for the unversed was chief designer for the luxury brand Chanel. He made the brand transform from frumpy to modern.
Indian celebrities at Met Gala 2023
This year, Alia Bhatt is making her debut. She will wear outfit by Nepalese-American designer Prabal Gurung. Other indian celebrities who will walk at the red carpet might include Priyanka Chopra Jonas reportedly.
Rules for Met Gala 2023
Every year, the guests are expected to follow certain guidelines and rules.
1. No social media and no selfies
This has been done to prohibit celebrities from spending time on their phones. However, these ruled have been flouted. Remember Kylie Jenner's bathroom selfie?
2. Under-18s are not allowed
These are restrictions too. This has been made because "it's not an appropriate event for people under 18."
3. No smoking
After celebrities were spotted smoking inside the bathrooms, it was reported that smoking has been banned going forward.?
4. No onion breath
Neither onion and nor garlic is served at the event. In fact, several items have been omitted from the menu to avoid bad breadths.?
5. Strict seating arrangement
If reports are to be believed, the seating arrangement is quite strict and a lot of thought is put into it.
So, now you know what's all the fuss about Met Gala and why people wear eccentric outfits??
