How Much It Costs For Celebrities To Attend The Met Gala


The Met Gala is one of fashion's most popular events, bringing celebrities and designers alike to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to flex their sartorial muscles and wear the most avant-garde creations in red carpet history.
But how much do attendees have to shell out to go to the Met Gala?
The New York Times reported in 2018 that tickets cost around $44,000 AUD per person, and a whopping $394,000 AUD to reserve a table—and with around 550 people attending the Met Gala, that's a pretty decent earning for the museum.
Whilst most celebrities will have to foot the bill, not every single attendee will buy their own ticket, as celebrities are often invited by a fashion label as a guest—and will be dressed in the designer to showcase the brand, obviously.
Case in point, Kylie Jenner and Donatella Versace at the 2017 Met Gala:
Apparently Anna Wintour (the orchestrator of the Met Gala event) also invites up-and-coming designers who may not be able to afford a ticket, but have earned their position to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Met Gala fashion heavyweights.
