What happens if celebrities ignore the Met Gala theme? | – The Times of India

Fashion’s biggest night of the year is just around the corner, and missing the style memo can be a full-blown fashion faux pas with sure consequences. The Met Gala night is where couture speaks via the declared theme, and showing up off-script is like crashing the party with the wrong language.From instant side-eyes to meme-worthy moments across the internet, there’s something worse waiting the next morning. Unlike the other fashion events of the year, the Met Gala is Anna Wintour’s ‘baby’, and she keenly looks after the rules for the invites. The theme is also set by her and dictates the exhibition’s ambiance with the Costume Institute. So, if you’re not on point, then surely you will face consequences.

Well, one cannot get banned unless you personally offend Anna Wintour, which can happen, but the internet’s fashion police will surely set a field for you, which will haunt you till the next year’s looks take over. However, many stars come for networking, some merely for front-page clicks, and others to endorse some brands.

It’s an unspoken truth that at the Met Gala, it isn’t just about looking good, but it is more about getting the theme right.

When celebs ignore this, it doesn’t read as rebellion, but it calls to be lazy or disconnected, with a disinterested notion. So, when the room is curated by Anna Wintour, celebs rarely take the risky move.

This annual gala will be held on Monday, 4th May, where the theme is ‘Costume Art’, and the dress code is ‘Fashion is Art’. The show will be co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour, where Beyoncé will return to the gala after a decade-long absence, making things spicier.
