Met Gala 2013: The stars came out in style to the fundraising gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts that’s known as “the party of the year.”
The Met’s spring Costume Institute exhbiition, PUNK: Chaos to Couture, was examined by the stars. The exhibit, exploring punk’s impact on high fashion, will open to the general public on May 9 after member previews on May 7 and 8.
The Met gala traditionally mixes Hollywood stars, fashion designers and top models. It’s largely orchestrated by Anna Wintour, Vogue’s editor-in-chief. She wore a hot-pink floral Chanel gown, which she said is a color that symbolizes the punk movement.
The edgy theme could have thrown some people off their fashion game. “I think (punk) is so eclectic and so original,” she said, “and maybe it sort of represents what’s very fearless about fashion.”
