Berretini too?? how many tennis players are there?
More than usual because of timing with USO. The Met Gala is usually the first week in May but it was moved to September and scaled down due to Rona.
“It is, however, a downscaled event — the guest list is about one-third smaller than usual — and it is very youth-focused. Not just because of the co-hosts, but because the exhibition it celebrates is 70 percent young designers, most of whom have never gotten to go to the gala or imagined their clothes might end up in the museum”
“In 2019, the ball raised $15 million….Tickets are $35,000 apiece, and tables range from $200,000 to $300,000. This year, word spread that certain brands were being asked to “sponsor” young designers — you know, the doing-it-on-their-own ones who are featured in the show and who were particularly hard hit when COVID-19 closed department stores, causing retailers to cancel orders — not just as guests but to be fairy godparents.”
