Known as 'fashion's biggest night', the annual event at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art brings together celebrities, designers, and cultural figures in a showcase of glam and glamour. Every attendee is expected to bring a carefully curated look that aligns with the year's theme while still making a bold personal statement that stands out in a highly competitive fashion showcase.
