The Middle Eastern Influence At This Year’s NYC MET Gala Cannot Go Unnoticed
This morning this world woke up to news feeds flooded with MET Gala pics.
Like if it rained in Dubai multiplied by 100… that’s the amount of social media attention this year’s Met Gala is getting.
FYI: The Met Gala is an annual fundraising benefit for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. Tickets cost a reported $30,000 PER PERSON and that’s only once you’ve made it to the esteemed guest list which is approved by none other than Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue.
And the fash-pack descend…
