Met Ball
The Costume Institute Gala, known as the Met Ball or Met Gala, is an annual ball that celebrates the annual opening of the Metropolitan Museum's fashion exhibit at the Costume Institute. The red carpet evening is hosted by Vogue magazine. It is regarded as an important social event in New York City. The event has been an annual affair at the Met since 1971 and became popular when Diana Vreeland became consultant to the Costume Institute in 1971 and with her 1973-1974 exhibit "The World of Balenciaga". Other Costume Institute curators that helped develop the annual galas were Richard Martin, Harold Koda and Andrew Bolton.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Met Ball
