The annual Met Gala is widely considered fashion's most glamorous event.
Each year, American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour hosts the bash, held at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art.
Wintour - who is co-hosting this year's party with Sarah Jessica Parker and Bradley Cooper – is charging $25,000 at ticket, $10,000 more than last year's price.
The theme is White Tie And Decorations, an ode to Anglo-American designer Charles James.
Guests will reportedly be paying tribute to the late couturier by donning high-end vintage looks such as ballgowns and long gloves.
