This year’s Met Gala
The annual Met Gala features some of the best and most extravagantly dressed stars at any celebrity gathering.
Vogue reports that this year's theme is "Costume Art." The presentations will be separated into "a series of thematic body types" including the Naked Body and the Classical Body, with several variations in each category such as the Pregnant Body and the Aging Body "that have more often been overlooked."
This year's celebrity co-chairs include Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, Anna Wintour, Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Misty Copeland, Lena Dunham, Sam Smith, and others. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren serve as honorary chairs.
The event will also stream live on Vogue.com as well as YouTube and TikTok starting at 6 pm Eastern on Monday.
Will Meryl Streep attend?
Actress Meryl Streep has never attended the annual fashion gathering, but her new movie The Devil Wears Prada 2 features a scene where her character attends a similar gathering.
Rumors briefly swirled that Streep could make her first-ever Met Gala appearance, but traders are skeptical. Her attendance price fell to 24%, down 55 percentage points in a single day.
The takeaway:
Kalshi markets now predict:
Sydney Sweeney attending the Met Gala: 32%
Chappell Roan attending the Met Gala: 44%
Jacob Elordi attending the Met Gala: 31%
Meryl Streep attending the Met Gala: 24%
