In addition to marking the annual opening of the fashion exhibition at the iconic museum, the event also raises funds for the operations of the institution’s department, known as the Costume Institute.

Organized by Anna Wintour, 76, former editor of the American edition of Vogue magazine, the ceremony brings together renowned celebrities who walk and pose in front of a powerful red carpet, showing off productions that dictate fashion trends.
