Summary
Last night’s “Fashion is Art” themed Met Gala was one of the most talked about and controversial gatherings in event history. Most notably because Jeff Bezos and his new bride Lauren Sanchez Bezos were this year’s sponsors and honorary co-chairs, reportedly coughing up $10 million. Ticket prices were upwards of $100k, the highest reported number ever, as stars lined the red carpet with looks that ranged from Bad Bunny’s full commitment to theme to Nicole Kidman’s choice to just wear a fabulous dress. There were also several stars who reportedly sat out of last night’s gala in protest of the Bezos.
