On May 7, 2018, the Met Gala with the theme `Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination` will take place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
This year’s theme is an inspiring dialogue between fashion and religiously inspired artwork.
Actress Blake Lively had to spend $30,000 to attend the 2017 Met Gala with the theme: Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between.
The Met Gala’s red carpet brings together many of the most beautiful and expensive outfits on the planet.
This year’s program continues to be led by powerful editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Experts are still as excited as ever, because the Met Gala’s theme dress code is always a real fashion `challenge`.
Appearing on the red carpet of this event is a good opportunity to be sought after by the media and promote your image.
Tickets to the event are $30,000, but this price is completely reasonable if guests know that they are attending an event that costs a huge resource of up to $3.5 million to organize.

According to estimates, each non-A-list star must spend at least 62,000 USD to attend.
A dress designed enough to wear on the red carpet of the Met Gala event must cost at least $5,000 to $40,000.
