Have you ever wondered what it’s like to attend a star-studded gala at the Met? For the first time in the history of the Museum’s Costume Institute Benefit, red carpet arrivals to the corresponding exhibition—this year, Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations—will be live streamed on their website. Tune in this evening from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. EST.

I will be arriving around 6:45 PM and everyone has been assigned an arrival time. Mine is earlier in the evening which will  give us time to enjoy the exhibit.  I’m wearing a black Prada gown. More on that in a while. Since I am a member of The Costume Institute , they sent a special email early this morning with  the details.  If you want to tune in just click on this link. http://www.metmuseum.org/metgala

Hosted by Vogue‘s William Norwich and Elettra Wiedemann, the broadcast will feature interviews with the gala co-chairs, including Carey Mulligan, Miuccia Prada, and Anna Wintour, along with celebrities from the worlds of fashion, film, society, sports, art, business, and music. Special pre-taped segments on the exhibition as well as the history of the gala benefit will also be shown.The hosts will ask attending celebrities five additional questions chosen from viewer submissions on Twitter (#MetQuestions) during the live stream. You can join the conversation about the exhibition and gala benefit by following the Met on Facebook and Twitter.
