One of fashion’s biggest nights
Tomorrow night marks the 71st annual Met Gala, one of the fashion world’s biggest nights. Hollywood legends, A-listers and even royalty congregate at one of New York’s finest museums, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, to raise money for its Costume Institute.
This year’s host committee consists of 183 people, two of whom are Priyanka Chopra and her husband Nick Jonas. Other confirmed names are Bradley Cooper, Lupita Nyong’o, and Jennifer Lopez with her fiancé Alex Rodriguez, as well as power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds who are expecting their third child. The gala’s theme is “Camp: Notes on Fashion” so expect plenty of bold extravagance and unapologetic daring silhouettes parading the red carpet.
