Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit—yes, that’s quite a mouthful! More popularly known as the MET Gala, this extravagant event is held on the first Monday of May each year to raise funds for the costume institute.
This year too, celebrities put on their best display. Of course, there were hits as well as misses. This year’s theme was Manus x Machina: fashion in an age of technology and we bring you both the best and the worst of the lot.
