TONIGHT is the biggest Fashion event of the year!

The Met Gala, formally called the Costume Institute Gala and also known as the MetBall, is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. It marks the grand opening of the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibit.

This year’s theme is  “China: Through the Looking Glass” .  Western eyes have drawn inspiration from “exotic” Asian images since the seventeenth century.”

I’m very excited to see all the dresses that the celebrities are wearing.  Oscar de la Renta, Balenciaga, Ralph Lauren, Zac Posen, Ines di Santo. The list goes on and on. The one thing we won’t be seeing this year is the selfie. Yes, no selfies are to be taken. All cell phones and social media are to be left at the door. The Metropolitan Museum of Art sent out a notice to guests stating that neither picture-taking nor social media will be permitted inside the annual event. As we know, Anna Wintour isn’t the hugest fan of the selfie. With the gala under her reign, this could be her way of wielding power against the social media trend she refuses to follow.

Tonight is going to be just lovely.

Love,
Rose
