Celebrities converged on New York\u2019s Metropolitan Museum of Art last night (May 4) for the annual Met Gala. This year\u2019s dress code was \u201cFashion Is Art,\u201d asking guests to \u201cconsider the many ways that designers use the body as their blank canvas,\u201d per Vogue<\/a>. Performers on the night included Sabrina Carpenter and Stevie Nicks, who duetted on \u201cLandslide<\/a>\u201d before Carpenter rejoined Nicks to back up a rendition of \u201cDon\u2019t Stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyonc\u00e9<\/a>, Nicole Kidman, and Venus Williams joined Vogue global editorial director Anna Wintour as co-chairs for this year\u2019s Gala, with Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Lisa, Sam Smith, and Teyana Taylor all serving on the host committee. The Gala also named Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren S\u00e1nchez Bezos, as honorary chairs, which has generated vocal opposition<\/a> from attendees, fashion fans, and pointed no-shows such as Taraji P. Henson<\/a> alike. Some called for a boycott of the event due to the couple\u2019s participation. A number of high-profile figures also turned down the invitation, including New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani, who said his focus is on \u201caffordability.\u201d<\/p>\n

The benefit dovetails with the Costume Institute\u2019s upcoming exhibition \u201cCostume Art<\/a>,\u201d which will inaugurate the Met\u2019s new 12,000-square-foot Cond\u00e9 M. Nast Galleries<\/a>. (Disclosure: Cond\u00e9 Nast is Pitchfork\u2019s parent company.) The exhibit pairs garments with works of art from the Met\u2019s collection, with a focus on the relationship between clothes and the body.
