Copyright AFP ANGELA WEISS<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Rapha\u00eblle PELTIER<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The brightest stars in Hollywood, music, sports and style hit the red carpet Monday for the Met Gala, the extravagant Manhattan charity ball that this year spotlights the intersection between fashion and art.<\/p>\n<p>The A-listers invited to New York\u2019s biggest social event of the year have been asked to dress for the theme \u201cFashion is Art,\u201d which dovetails with the exhibit \u201cCostume Art\u201d at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\u2019s Costume Institute.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s function has drawn controversy after Amazon boss Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez Bezos were announced as the lead sponsors and honorary co-chairs of the gala, with some activists upset about the billionaire couple\u2019s involvement.<\/p>\n<p>But for the fashionistas, the Met Gala \u2014 traditionally held on the first Monday in May \u2014 is simply one of the world\u2019s top red carpets with blinding star power.<\/p>\n<p>Tennis legend Venus Williams and Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, who are co-chairing the event, were among the first to arrive.<\/p>\n<p>Kidman stunned in a shimmering red long-sleeved Chanel column dress with wide feather cuffs, while Williams glistened in a black crystal Swarovski gown with an elaborate neck plate.<\/p>\n<p>The 45-year-old Williams told Vogue the look was inspired by a painting of her in the National Portrait Gallery.<\/p>\n<p>Music mega-star Beyonce, another co-chair, had yet to make her highly anticipated appearance at the event \u2014 her first in a decade.<\/p>\n<p>Rapper Doja Cat, one of several members of a gala \u201chost committee,\u201d wore a draped latex Saint Laurent gown with a demure neckline \u2014 but slit up to her waist.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the entire evening is overseen by Vogue\u2019s global editorial director Anna Wintour \u2014 the ultimate tastemaker in US fashion who has helmed the event for 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>The gala is a fundraiser for the Met\u2019s Costume Institute, and this year has raised a record $42 million (after $31 million in 2025), the museum\u2019s CEO Max Hollein told reporters early Monday.<\/p>\n<p>But it is also a social media extravaganza that sees stars don over-the-top looks, vying to create the greatest spectacle.<\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s event showcased the subversive style of Black dandyism, and was a rare Met Gala spotlighting men and male fashion.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s exhibit juxtaposes elegant fashion looks with paintings and sculpture: think a Saint Laurent design next to Van Gogh\u2019s \u201cIrises\u201d, or a John Galliano gown for Maison Margiela paired with an antique statue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I think about the show, if there\u2019s one word to describe it, I suppose it would be equitability or equivalency, equivalency between artworks,\u201d the Costume Institute\u2019s curator Andrew Bolton told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo there\u2019s no hierarchy between sculpture, painting, fashion, photography and no hierarchy between bodies, between the classical body or the disabled body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2018Genuinely care\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>In the run-up to Monday, a campaign opposing the involvement of Bezos and his wife cropped up in New York\u2019s streets and subways, with some calling for a boycott of an event some see as a gross display of immense wealth.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the campaign is a group founded in Britain called \u201cEveryone Hates Elon\u201d \u2014 which, a spokesperson stressed, \u201ctargets other billionaires\u201d beyond Elon Musk, the world\u2019s richest person.<\/p>\n<p>Wintour said Monday that the couple had \u201cshown with this event that they genuinely, genuinely care about giving back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Met Gala was first organized in 1948 and for decades was reserved for New York high society \u2014 until Wintour transformed the party into a high-profile\u00a0catwalk for the rich and famous in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cCostume Art\u201d exhibit, which opens on May 10 at the venerable museum in Manhattan, will seek to explore the \u201cdressed body\u201d in artworks across the centuries.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
