New Delhi: The journey to the Met Gala, commonly known as the year’s most important fashion event, has begun. The festival will take place in New York City. On the red carpet, a number of celebrities are anticipated to present their interpretations of the theme In America: An Anthology of Fashion.
The Met Gala’s unique information has been announced. Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Regina King, and Lin-Manuel Miranda will emcee this year’s fashion spectacle. The topic, In America: An Anthology of Fashion, seeks to honor the true heroes of American fashion.
In addition, there are several rules that the guests are expected to obey this year. Here are five of the Met Gala’s peculiar restrictions, ranging from an age of limitation to a selfie ban.
Restrictions On Age:
The Met Gala imposed an age limit, prohibiting anyone under the age of 18 from entering. The decision was taken because “it is not an acceptable event for people under the age of 18,” according to a representative of the conference.
Restrictions On takinG Selfie:
The usage of social media was prohibited at the event in 2015, according to reports. This move was taken to ensure that celebrities did not spend the majority of the event on their phones. A note distributed to all guests stated, “The use of phones for photos and social media will not be authorised within the event.”
Many guests have, however, disobeyed the prohibition in the past. Take, for example, Kylie Jenner’s well-known toilet selfie from 2017.
Restrictions On No Smoking:
At the 2017 Met Gala, superstars such as Bella Hadid and Dakota Johnson were spotted smoking in the restroom. Following that, board members and contributors were alleged to have expressed their disgust with attendees smoking during the event, alleging it was “derogatory to the art collection.”
Following complaints, visitors at the 2018 Met Gala were told it was “illegal to smoke in the museum,” according to Page Six
Restrictions On No Onion Breath:
The Met Gala event includes a cocktail hour and a formal supper for guests.
Therefore, in order to avoid foul breath, no onion or garlic is served on the occasion. In addition, guests are not served bruschetta in the event that food spills on their expensive outfits.
Restrictions On Strict Seating Arrangements:
The seating arrangement involves a lot of “strength,” according to Sylvana Ward Durrett, director of special projects at Vogue. “It’s shocking how much consideration goes into who sits next to who, if they sat together last if they’ve sat next to us at other events,” Sylvana said.
