Famous personalities from different industries, like fashion, film, television, theatre, sports, social media, politics, and many more, attend the iconic event. Vogue Magazine organises the Met Gala, and the fashion event is held at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. For the unversed, the Met Gala takes place every year on the first Monday of the month of May.
The organising committee decides a special theme for the event every year.

The first-ever Met Gala was held in 1948 as a midnight supper club known as The Costume Institute Benefit. It was in 1973 when the concept of themes was introduced at the Met Gala. The first theme-based Met Gala was held on March 21, 1973, with the theme, 'The World of Balenciaga'.
