Glamour, presence, power, artistry—read on to learn more about the night where the lustre of dining with the world's most well-known names in music, film, and fashion, dims in comparison to feasting your eyes on what they are wearing and why.

Every year, since 1948, The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute chooses a spring exhibition to showcase an aspect of fashion, its varied importance throughout history, and its relationship to culture as a whole. On the first Monday of each May, the exhibition is unveiled on "fashion's biggest night out," in which A-listers from music, fashion, and film experience and embrace this theme by not only witnessing the grandeur of the exhibition itself but by also partaking in the theme themselves.
