The Met Gala is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. With individual tickets costing a whopping $25,000, it is easily one of the biggest fundraising nights of the year. The event is overseen by Vogue editor in chief, Anna Wintour, who oversees both the benefit committee and the guest list. This year, the event was co-chaired by none other than Sarah Jessica Parker and Bradley Cooper, among others. Each year, the committee of said event chooses a theme to celebrate the life of a fashion designer or of certain cultures. This year's theme was Charles James, who Vogue describe as being the “master of color comparatives, of the cut and fold of exceptional clothes”, Christian Dior claiming his designs were poetry and Cristobal Balenciaga describing him as the world's best and only dressmaker, so it was only right that he was to be honoured at the biggest night in the fashion calender.
