What is this year's MET GALA topic?

The member of the Met Gala Committee depicted last month, said the celebration of men's fashion and black style “contemporary”.

The theme of the Met Gala is usually associated with the latest exhibition of the costume institute, which is superfine this year: adaptation of the black style.

It is inspired by Monica L. Miller's book slaves to fashion: black dandyism and the styling of black diasporic identity, which was published in 2009.

This year's MET GALA dress code is “tailor -made for you” – an indication of the display and men's clothing, which is included in the exhibition.

In fact, this has been the first MET gala for more than two decades, which focuses exclusively on men's clothing.

“The topic this year is not only in time,” said Usher member of the Gala Committee, “but also for our rich culture, which should always be widespread.”

Expect many references from male and female guests on the role that Black Style has played over the centuries, especially for men's clothing.

The MET says that the show is “a cultural and historical examination of the black style from the 18th century to the present day through the lens of dandyism”.

The Met Gala always takes place on the first Monday in May – to use the title of the documentary in 2016 about the event.

This year that means that it takes place Monday, May 5thwith guests who arrive from approximately 18:00 EST (23:00 BST).

It may be a bank vacation in Great Britain, but for the designers, publicists and PAS it will be an extraordinarily exhausting day when you clean and prepare your stars to go the Grand stairs.

Although the public can never see in the event itself, where the guests are spoiled with dinner, cocktails, live music and a look at the new exhibition of the costume institute, the long event of the red carpet ensures hectare media reporting in advance.

The guest list will not be published in advance, but you can certainly expect a large number of A listeners at night.

How can I see the MET GALA?

If you are not based in New York, it plans to stand behind the barriers to the museum, it is likely to see you online.

Vogue will carry out a live stream of the event on its digital platforms, including YouTube.

US viewers can watch Peacock and E! Online, while countless news about live streaming of your own reporting on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok.

You can also follow the live blog here on the BBC News website.

But to be honest, photos and videos from the night will be inevitable if you open your social media feeds on Tuesday morning. So if you are in Great Britain and go to bed, you shouldn't look too far to get the reporting when you wake up.

Can I buy tickets?

No, sorry hun.

The MET GALA is an exclusive event that is only open to a small number of invited guests – usually around 450.

The largest brands often buy a table and use it to organize their desired celebrities. The label benefits when the celebrity is connected to them and carries one of their outfits on the red carpet.

The proceeds from the ticket sale go to the costume institute. It is assumed that a single ticket costs around $ 75,000 (56,000 GBP), while a table with 10 seats begins at $ 350,000.

But at least the A-listers do not have to deal with dynamic pricing.
