Ok, you are invited and then you paid. There’s only few of them who don’t paid like these yr the district representative where the MET is and AOC. All money is usually for the Costume wing of the museum… Many of you are, it can be used for other things not that. The arts are major part of humanity. Like paintings who had capture historic moments, you can also add music, literature, plays and films. How many of you spend quarantined doing one of these things? Anytime you read a book, watch a movie, even KZbin is consider an art. Nobody ever said all art is beautiful or “meaningful,” but it’s to provoke a feeling. And by seeing some of these comments, it seems like is working.

Cost of attendance is the fund-raiser. Additionally, most attendees do not pay for their tickets, often the designers or whomever sponsors a table. Also, many of attendees cannot wear whatever they want. The designer who sponsors your ticket tells you what to wear and A. Wintour has final approval.

I'm pretty sure a lot of the celebs don't buy their tickets. the brands do and invite them, that's why you see a lot of celebs dressed by the same ppl. same with the jewellery and clothes the brands lend them out and expect them back afterwards. I recall 2019 camp cardi B saying something along the lines of I better not lose the ruby nipples or I'm gonna need to sell my bags - implying she'll need to pay it back.

[@samanthaflynn6140]

The jewels are on loan. Not all but some.

[@jennifer_mertens]

The jewels are generally loaned and so are most of the gowns. They are made for each celebrity, but in general they go back to the collection of the designer after the gala. Plus, tickets are tax deductible, not really an expensive night if you're a celebrity or among the rich...

[@helenab9973]

Exactly, besides I'm not sure the celebrities actually pay for it, maybe they're sponsored to come. But even if they pay, 35K is small money when they have millions in the bank.

[@cynicnhel409]

I have read somewhere that it is the designer that you represent pay and ask for approval from Anna Wintour for your slot and if you bring someone that is when you have to pay for them personally.

While people are dying every day excruciating deaths from COVID this is not the time to be flaunting your privilege. Especially, this year when the "curated" food was touted as plant-based and vegan, in other words, basically gussied up rabbit food. And should we mention that all the co-chairs this year were picked for their youth and glamor, while Anna Wintour is just a few years shy of being co-chair Billie Ellish's great-grandmother? Yes, not grandmother, but great-grandmother. And should we also point out that a lot of the gowns and jewelry are lent to the celebs for name recognition, and have to be returned the next day?
