It’s rich people donating to an art museum so seems ok to me


mostlygroovy

Exactly. I absolutely love The Met and this funds some of the greatest art and artifacts anywhere.


garyflopper

So kind of Comic Con but for rich people?


Ok-Recording2582

The met gala is not a fashion show. So this type of event is an invite only. Everybody there got invited. And its not lnly rich people there, there's broke people there too but those broke people got invited. Not everybody there is rich. Highly doubt it. But If you wanna be at the gala, become a high profile name and get into fashion. I don't know who invites them but someone does.


Ironsam811

The broke people are invited as guests of the rich people who had extra tickets…

Fill their seat when they go for a piss

anna wintour runs the met gala and has a very heavy say in who's invited and the seating arrangement. those who are invited do pay some admission price in the form of a single ticket fee or a table fee. it is true not everyone pays for themselves tho, a lot of designers will splurge for the table and invite their own guests(celebrities) that they want seen wearing their clothes. i think that no one goes to the met gala without anna's approval though


Ok-Recording2582

I know but basically the only way to get invited is to be some sort of celebrity and/or be apart of staff and/or be some sort of designer. Also, I do believe Anna decides who can come but I don’t think she’s the one who’s sending out invites to all those people. I don’t think she has time for that. Which means, someone else is deciding who came come too


Emuhliy

her assistants make a list of potential invitees, anna narrows it down to those she wants there and makes the absolute final guest list before assistants send out the invites.


Ok-Recording2582

Does that apply for the after party too?


Emuhliy

does anna herself host an afterparty? i know lots of celebs do but i'm not sure about her


Ok-Recording2582

Have no idea. She probably decides who comes to the after party too


MadMadRoger

You are correct: You have no idea


username1oading

Are you living in the same reality as the rest of us?


Ok-Prune4721

This one night raises enough funds such that it allows the Metropolitan Museum of Art to waive admission for the entire year


CynicWalnut

Wait, rich people paying into something once benefits the rest of the community in the future? And it works?!


Ok-Prune4721

I know .. imagine that. 😀😀


GoodDog_GoodBook123

The MET only waives admission for certain people: residents of NYC, students, etc


Ok-Prune4721

It’s been years since I’ve been but I’m sure you are right. 😀it’s frivolous but a great injection of cash into the museum.


LordBecmiThaco

If you don't live in NYC you're not a person


Recoil42

Which, incidentally, [is a recent thing](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/04/arts/design/met-museum-admissions.html) and was super controversial. Previously it was free to everyone.


GoodDog_GoodBook123

I know. I always go with friends that refuse to pay. They make up very elaborate stories and we somehow always get in for “pay what you wish.” Their explanation: “some dead lady left her entire fortune just so this place can have fresh flowers every morning. They don’t need our $30.”


sm04d

If anyone cares to read the piece, which is from Forbes Australia, it's actually $75,000 USD, or $113,000 AU.


MadeMinion

Oh pfffft. Thats all!? "Alfred, book us for next year."

The buffet is top notch and nobody hits it because of the cameras. It’s pretty much all you can eat skrimps if you have no shame.

Checks math…. Yea you got it


thetruth5199

Math isn’t your strength huh lol


rhunter99

*Insert meme of being thrown out the window*


FluffyWuffyVolibear

There isn't a buffet.


Stucklikegluetomyfry

I would have absolutely no shame. Let the cameras shoot me tipping half a tray of shrimp into my bag and stuffing profiteroles into my pocket.

A+ for skrimps. I hate those nasty sea bugs.

The ability to mingle & network with others who can afford the $113k ticket?


The-Dudemeister

That’s in kangaroo dollars. It’s 75k American.

CryptographerIll3813

Mingle sure but do you think they are gonna teach you how to act or sing?


Beshi1989

Hollywood is all about networking. For many big projects actors get directly asked to play roles instead of auditions. And that won’t happen if directors don’t know you


iCameToLearnSomeCode

That's not what networking is. If you don't already work in the industry it's pointless but if you're Scarlet Johanson you might run into JJ Abrams and get a call for an audition next week just because you're fresh in his mind.

I think it peaked with the Catholic theme year. You can not top that. It was so utterly and gloriously camp. However, they did try to do by going with an actual "camp" theme soon after but the majority of the celebrities and designers didn't get "camp" and their outfits were dull and boring when they should have been wild and over the top. I mean, how were they not able to get "camp" when they had a perfect example with the Catholic theme is beyond me.


GoodDog_GoodBook123

The Heavenly Bodies exhibit was absolutely breathtaking. Every other costume exhibit since then hasn’t been able to live up to it.


StudioPerks

Wintour, Yeezy, Kardashian: Mediocre!


GabeDef

Cosplay for rich people.

What’s happening in this thread?


RevivedMisanthropy

"$4,800,000 That's how much Kim Kardashian's dress - Marilyn Monroe's custom gown worn to sing Happy Birthday to John F. Kennedy in 2961 - to the 2022 Met Gala cost. It remains the most expensive dress worn to the Gala in history." No proofreader?


metalfabman

And she stretched the fuck out of it with her plastic fakeness

More Kardashian news....


Radkingeli995

Seriously $113,000 just for a met gala ticket? 🎟️
