Every year in New York City, the Met Gala is held as a grand party to raise funds for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, with some celebs rocking up in the most unusual frocks.

The party is organised by Vogue magazine and famous people from different areas, like fashion, movies, TV, music, business, sports and politics, are invited to attend.

The party happens on the first Monday of May, and it marks the start of the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibit. The people who go to the party usually end up on the covers of Vogue. The party has a different theme every year, and everyone has to dress up to match the theme.
