I may have to remove the list of Met Gala themes unless someone can find a source for it. The list was added by what is almost a WP:SPA with minimal other activity on WP.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:05, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Does anyone understand what the difference is between the chair of the benefit and the (honorary) chair of the event day (e.g., http://www.nytimes.com/1995/10/09/nyregion/chronicle-299595.html)? Should we include both?-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:40, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

This article is fairly short, well sourced and largely a good summary of the subject. I have some comments below which mostly relate to the clarity of the prose and some minor POV problems (which are sometimes unavoidable when the sources all describe the event breathlessly). They should be pretty easy to clear up and the article passed in short order. Sorry for the long wait.

Okay, so a bunch of famous people attend the event, but how does this translate into the millions that are raised? Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia ( talk) 16:31, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
I added a gallery to the section on the yearly themes of the gala.

Hello,
I would like to suggest the The Met Gala infobox have the beginning date corrected to 1948. This can be referenced from the Costume Institute's department page
[1].
Thank you.

Implemented The date was changed as requested, however, I have appended the Chronology citation needed template to the date. According to the Wikipedia article, the Gala event "themes" are listed going back to 1971, but there are no Galas listed before this date. That means one of two things: either the tradition of having themes for Met Galas began in 1971, or the Galas themselves only began in 1971. The reference provided does state that the department for which the Galas are intended to celebrate became a part of the Met in 1948, but what it does not specify is whether that was also the year that the Galas began. As this article concerns the Galas, and not the department itself, I believe that is what is being asked by the infobox's date parameter. A source should be located which settles this question.

I saw Ocean's 8 on a plane this weekend. It's a major Hollywood picture based largely on the Met Gala, and it's not mentioned in this article. This is a short article for such a publicized event. There's a one paragraph lead that doesn't sum up the article and three paragraphs of it are "controversy" (see WP:CSECTION). The article is a third as long as the Ocean 8 article and hasn't been updated since it was promoted to GA four years ago. Also, the red carpet is a big deal, and we have no pictures of the event? This article fails WP:GAC #s 3 and 6. – Muboshgu ( talk) 01:01, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
100% agree, this page needs a lot of work. It's not broad enough in its coverage and doesn't properly convey just how major an event this is. Ohwowchow ( talk) 02:30, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

In 2015, the Met Gala's theme was "China: Through the Looking Glass," which aimed to explore the influence of Chinese culture on Western fashion. However, the theme drew criticism from some who accused the event of cultural appropriation and perpetuating stereotypes of Asian cultures.
