As springtime sunshine finally hits New York City, the Met Gala beckons – one of the most anticipated and visible parties in the world.

This year, the theme – "Tailored For You" – is focused on classic tailoring. As always, the dress code is inspired by the spring exhibit at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
