Five reasons why the Met Gala is an exceptional experience... 🌹 Visual Theme - a clear direction. This year, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," immortalised by the dress code, The Garden in Time”, inspired by a short story of the same name by JG Ballard. Brings the theatre to the party ⏲️ Building anticipation - who wore what, who's invited, what will the outtakes be...we LOVE it! 👯 Curated guest list - who is hosting, who is in, who is snubbed? It's a 'who's who' of glitterati. 👁️ The attention to detail - handbags, costume changes, we love seeing how guests interpret the theme. 😂 The Memes - what is more fun than the party on the night? Watching the memes unfold the following day. The Met Gala always breaks boundaries and we are already counting the days until next year.

Met Gala 2024: The Financial Side of Fashion’s Biggest Night Out 🗂️ The Met Gala, renowned as "fashion’s biggest night out," is held annually on the first Monday of May, offering a glamorous spectacle where A-listers from cinema, music, fashion, and sports interpret the event’s theme. This year's theme, ‘Garden of Time’, inspired by JG Ballard’s 1962 sci-fi masterpiece, explored rebirth, renewal, and humanity's cyclical tendencies of creation and destruction. By the Numbers 🧮: 📊Fundraising Success: This year’s Met Gala raised about $26 million for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, marking a $4 million increase over last year's total and more than double what was raised in 2014. 💵Ticket Prices: Individual tickets for the Met Gala 2024 soared to a staggering $75,000, significantly higher than the $50,000 price tag in 2023 and $35,000 in 2022. Back in 1995, a ticket cost just $1,000. 💎Sponsorship and Tables: Sponsorship Costs: TikTok declined to disclose its sponsorship payment, while previous sponsors like Apple and Instagram have also kept their contributions private. In 2018, Stephen A. Schwarzman, CEO of Blackstone, reportedly contributed around $5 million as a sponsor. 💸Table Costs: A 10-seat table at the Met Gala starts at $350,000. 📃Exclusive Guest List: High-Profile Guests: Approximately 400 guests attended this year, including billionaires like Jeff Bezos (Amazon founder), Michael R. Bloomberg (former New York City mayor), and Stephen A. Schwarzman. Do Celebrities Pay for Their Tickets and Dresses? 👗 Brands like Gucci, Prada, and Amazon typically reserve tables, inviting celebrities adorned in their designs. Guest List Curation: Anna Wintour manages the guest list and even dictates who brands can invite to their tables. Designer Collaborations: Celebrities often collaborate directly with designers to create or select their Met Gala looks, meaning no one is paying out-of-pocket for couture. 📍The Met Gala remains a glittering spectacle where exclusivity meets philanthropy. Beyond the dazzling fashion statements, the event stands as a cornerstone in fundraising for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. #metgala #metgala2024 #fashion #finance *Photo: Getty Images
