Every year there is an event called the Met Gala, where celebrities are invited to wear designer clothing for the purpose of fundraising money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. This Metropolitan Museum is located in New York City, and the Gala takes place on 5th Avenue. The Met is an invitation-only event. There is a different theme chosen each year, and the theme determines how your outfit is designed.
