Things we know about the : It takes place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it’s organized by Anna Wintour, and literally every A-list celebrity is invited ( A-list celebrity). But aside from that? Pretty much ̄_(ツ)_/ ̄. While we, the people wearing sweats and judging everyone from our couches, get to see celebs walk up the famous Met steps, that’s where the public part of this event stops.
Once everyone goes inside, phones are (supposed to be) turned off, and there are no reporters present. As puts it, “In short: It’s a secret. For this reason, guests must abide by the no phone (and therefore, no social media) policy.
” This means there are very few pics, but sometimes rules are broken—usually in the bathroom: So, aside from some amazing bathroom selfies, what happens at the Met Gala inside? Here’s what we know: The Carpet We’ve already covered that. Celebs arrive. They pose.
They walk inside. We complain about how they didn’t adhere to the theme and then loudly yell our opinions in various group chats. Tradition! The Cocktail Hour After the carpet, celebs and guests mingle during a cocktail hour and get to tour the actual exhibition, which this year is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.
” FYI, it opens to the public on May 10 and closes on October 26, so if you want, you can dust off your finest museum ’fit and live out your own personal Met Gala in just a couple of weeks!

Back in 2021, party planner Eaddy Kiernan told that when it comes to deciding where the stars sit, “We really try to think very carefully about who’s sitting next to each other. Our ideal pairing would maybe be two people who we think will just get on like a house on fire but who may not even realize that they have a lot in common.
So with each person, we really do take time to think, ‘What will they talk about?’ We try and think a lot about sight lines and where people have sat in the past. And we try to make sure someone isn’t staring into the eyes of a former flame.” Here’s a look at the dinner layout for “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” in 2024: The Entertainment Each year, at least one fancy performer puts on a show at the Met Gala ( notes that “the event usually involves a high-profile performer”), but the evening honestly ends pretty early, giving celebs a chance to change outfits and hit the after-parties.
That being said, Ariana Grande gave an ethereal performance at last year’s Met Gala, as proven by these stunning pics: And here’s at the ultimate NYC spot The Box after 2023’s event: Cool-cool-cool, will continue to be here on my couch!.
