The Met Gala, or more formally known as the Costume Institute Gala, is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City.
The event marks the opening of the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibit. Previous themes have included Punk and National Identity.
