The Met Gala has raised money for The Costume Institute at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art since its inception as a society dinner in 1948. Diana Vreeland followed by Anna Wintour, its co-chair since 1995, later succeeded in growing it into the behemoth, known by many as the first Monday in May or simply as fashion’s most glittering night.
This year, Paris’ Louvre Museum will take on the American gallery for that title, however, as it reveals plans for a French Met Gala two months earlier, on March 4 — the first Tuesday in March — during Paris Fashion Week.
