It’s the most fashionable Monday of the year.
It’s Met Gala Monday, where the brightest stars will walk the red carpet and up the stairs leading to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in their finest couture. The night celebrates the Costume Institute’s new exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” set to showcase fashion’s history with nearly 250 of the most beautiful archival designs ever made.
As for the celeb fashion, expect to see lots of flowers — florals for spring, groundbreaking! — as the theme for the night is “The Garden of Time,” based on the 1962 short story written by author J.G. Ballard.
