On the first Monday of May, or May 6, The Met Gala will be taking place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and will feature over 400 years worth of fashion evolution to raise money for the museum.  

The Met Gala has been quite successful in previous years, averaging 8 figure sums, but some fans don’t believe that last year’s attendees kept with the theme and it caused the Met Gala to receive a lot of criticism. This year, the theme is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakened Fashion” and the dress code is “The Garden of Time”. The hope and expectation is that the attendees will come with floral and botanical-themed styles, but some say they will be let down like last year. 

“I hope that this year they follow the theme because every year they don’t follow it,” said Tony Interiano (11).

This year, the Met Gala will be held to a high standard and people are looking forward to seeing some of their favorite artists, celebrities, actors and more. The hosts this year are Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, and Bad Bunny. 

The Met Gala is a way to raise money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art costume. Last year the Met Gala made almost 22 million dollars for the museum. Some Heritage students want to see some Latin faces this year at the Met Gala, including Peso Pluma because of his recent rise to fame in the music industry.

 “I really want Karol G and Natanael Cano to go to the Met Gala,” said Andrea Valladares(9).

People are very excited for the Met Gala and we can only hope for a great turnout with the theme and atmosphere. especially with the pressure of being able to go with the theme this year with all the people wanting a great event.
