The Met Gala started off as just a dinner with tickets as much as fifty dollars. However, after Vogue took over the gala, it started to become more exclusive and celebrity oriented. This resulted in it becoming more exclusive. After the editor of Vogue, Anna Wintour took charge of the event she created the event to be extremely glamorous and full of high fashion couture. Celebrities wear high fashion designers such as Alexander McQueen, Givenchy, Versace, etc. Many designers sponsor celebrities as it is a way to get publicity and sales for a company. Many designers will create strategies to publicize their companies. The estimate of how much is spent on such a luxurious event is about 3.5 million dollars.
