On May 4, New York City will celebrate its annual Met Gala, kicking off with the theme 'Fashion is Art.' This year, the high-profile event will be hosted by celebrities including Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, and Venus Williams. The gala is known for its extravagant fashion, and the chosen theme aims to emphasize the interconnection between fashion and artistic expression.

The theme 'Fashion is Art' is designed to complement the exhibition titled 'Costume Art,' which will open to the public on May 10 and run until January 10, 2027. The announcement was made by the Costume Institute, the specialized division of the museum responsible for organizing the gala. This year's gala is expected to attract significant media attention as it often sets trends in fashion.

The Met Gala not only marks a social highlight in the fashion calendar but also serves as a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. The selection of hosts and the prominent theme reflect the ongoing dialogue within the fashion industry about the role of fashion as a form of art. With high expectations for attendees' creativity, this year's event promises to showcase a dynamic range of interpretations of the theme.
