Along with Lipa and Federer, other hosts of the event on May 1 are Penelope Cruz and Michaela Coel and Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour. The Met Gala is one of the season’s premiere events.
Exhibitions and acquisitions

The gala was first held in 1948 and for decades was reserved for New York high society. High priestess of fashion Wintour took over the show in 1995, transforming the party into a catwalk for the rich and famous and social media extravaganza.
