New York: The brightest stars in Hollywood, music, sports and fashion hit the red carpet Monday for the MET Gala, the extravagant Manhattan fundraiser that this year spotlights the subversive style of Black dandyism.
The blockbuster night's theme explores the sharply tailored dandy aesthetic and its rich, complicated history. It also celebrates the opening of a corresponding exhibit at the METropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.
But for the fashionistas, the MET Gala -- always the first Monday in May -- is simply one of the world's top red carpets with blinding star power.
Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo and Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, two of the co-chairs of fashion's marquee event, were among the early arrivals alongside gala supremo Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue.
