Met Gala

The **Met Gala**, or **Met Ball**, formally called the **Costume Institute Gala** or the **Costume Institute Benefit**, is an annual fundraising gala held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. In 2023, it was held on May 1st with the exhibition and theme in honor of German fashion designer and creative director Karl Lagerfeld. It was livestreamed on *Vogue*, where Halle Bailey attended in a custom white Gucci dress.

## Background

Chloe x Halle made their debut appearance in 2021 on September 13th; while the event was usually held during May, the date was pushed back that coincided with the closing of New York Fashion Week. Halle was dressed in a Rodarte bodysuit with "glittering pink fringe," paired with pink pumps and Messika High Jewelry.

*BAZAAR.com* reported of Bailey's "white Gucci ensemble consisting of a sparkling semi-sheer lace halter-neck gown and a dramatic ruffled cape." *Forbes* stated her jewelry to be a De Beers Arpeggia Three Line Diamond Earrings set in 18K white gold.
