It’s the most high-profile fashion event of the year and attracts celebrities from Beyoncé to Madonna, all trying to grab headlines as the ‘best dressed’ of the night.
And now the theatrical looks will appear on the streets of London, as a UK version of the Met Gala takes place next month – with a guest list including Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne and Princess Eugenie.

Wintour hopes the London event will also make headlines. A source said, “Celebrities will be coming from all over the world and their outfits will be something to behold.”
The UK event, overseen by Bafta-winning director Stephen Daldry, has been described as a “celebration of British performing arts”.
It will feature a performance by rapper Stormzy, kick off London Fashion Week and is set to raise millions for organizations including the National Theatre, Royal Opera House and Royal Ballet.
