The gala, which takes place at the Met each year, features a star-studded crowd that ascends the grand steps each year on the first Monday in May for the splashy benefit.

The dress code ties into the theme of this year’s gala, which aligns with the spring exhibition at the Met’s Costume Institute.

This year’s theme is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”.

Dame Anna is the force behind the gala, which to date has raised more than $223.5 million, according to the Met.
