The Met Gala supports the Costume Institution and celebrates its current exhibition, titled “In America: An Anthology of Fashion.” The event is returning on the first Monday in May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
As first revealed by Friedman, the theme is “Glided Glamour”. “Point is: this one is going to be very dressed-up indeed,” she added. The Gilded Age ran roughly from 1870 to 1900, the era is known for major industrialization, as well as its iconic fashion.
