The Met Gala (also known as the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala) is THE most fashionable day of the year. Yes, the Oscars Red Carpet showcases some the of the season’s most beautigul gowns, shoes and jewelry. But when it comes to the Met Gala all fashion rules fly off the red carpet and you never know WHAT you’re going to see.

     Love it or hate it, the fashions are AMAZING. It’s a time for those lucky enough to receive an invite from Anna Wintour, to shake off trends and wear FASHION. That means you just never know who is going to wear what or in some cases, what is going to wear whom.

    This year’s Gala will celebrate the opening of the biggest exhibit they’ve ever had:  “China: Through the Looking Glass”. You can see the exhibit in the new wing aptly named for the woman who Chair’s the Gala every year, The Anna Wintour Costume Center.
