Met Gala was a $50 dinner. You need $75k and an invite to get in now.

The Met Gala, initially a $50 midnight Manhattan socialite dinner in 1948, has evolved into a star-studded, global fashion event. It began featuring themes in the 1970s under Vogue editor Diana Vreeland. Anna Wintour's takeover in 1995 saw the event grow, attracting top names from various industries. The 2024 exhibit (ticket prices: $75,000) will display 250 garments and accessories using advanced technology.
