The Met Gala was started by fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert. The Costume Institute, established in 1948, was the cradle of new and old costumes. Designers from major New York theaters used to come here to find inspiration for new designs. When talented, hardworking designers are coming together, how about bringing them under one umbrella? The ‘Met Gala’ started from that plan.
Although at first its name was not ‘Met Gala’. Eleanor Lambert invited the New York elite to the ‘Party of the Year’! Where the entrance fee was only ৫০ 50. And the dress code? Anyone can dress up as their own. The first official Met Gala was held in December 1948 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. And its entire income goes to the Costume Institute fund. Seeing the success of the first year, the Costume Institute and the Metropolitan Museum of Art started organizing ‘Party of the Year’ in the same way every year. French-American fashionista Diana Vriland changed the definition of the Met Gala, which was held at different venues until 1981.
In 1973, Diana Vriland became a special consultant for the Costume Institute. Then he started to bring various changes. The biggest change in the venue. Instead of fighting for venues in different locations each year, he finalized the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a permanent venue. At the same time, he started inviting the elites of New York as well as the stars of the entertainment world. The entrance fee is increased to ড 100. Met removed from December and brought Gala in April-May.
