Toast of the town! The annual Met Gala has been the biggest night in fashion since the 1940s — and being a co-chair for the event has become a coveted title.
The Met Gala was established in 1948 to raise money for then-newly founded Costume Institute. With the help of Vogue, which is a longtime partner for the event, the gala has evolved into the most talked about night in the fashion industry.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute has housed the gala and the corresponding fashion exhibit since the early 1970s, but before that the Met Gala was held at a variety of New York City venues, including the Waldorf-Astoria, Central Park and the Rainbow Room.
The role of celebrity and socialite co-chairs dates back to 1973. That year, there were two events: one in March and one in December, with Phyllis Ellsworth Dillon helming the second bash (the theme was “The 10s, the 20s, the 30s: Inventive Clothes: 1909–1939.”)
Philanthropist Jane Engelhard was the co-chair for the “Romantic and Glamourous Hollywood Design” event and the “American Women of Style” fete in 1974 and 1975, respectively, before Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis brought her own elegance to the role in both 1976.
It wasn’t until 1995 that Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, came on board as the chairperson for the Costume Institute. Since 1997, she has been a co-chair for every Met Gala that has taken place in the Big Apple. In 2021, however, the fashion icon stepped back and took on the role of one of the honorary co-chairs for the first time.
“I was very honored when they first asked me to become involved [with the gala] because there was such a tradition of Vogue always supporting the Met,” Wintour told the Business of Fashion in April 2017. “I thought of it

Searching for clues! Harry Styles is back with a new album — and fans can’t help scrutinizing the lyrics for hints about his relationship with Olivia Wilde.
Former One Direction singer Harry Styles has surprised fans this week, by revealing how much he'll be stripping off in his upcoming film role in My Policeman. The popular singer has turned his hand to acting in recent years, with several big screen roles in the works alongside his thriving music career, however none of these roles feature nudity thanks to a clause in his contract that allows him to keep some things at least, private.The star, whose third solo album Harry's House is on sale from today, will take on the lead role in Prime Video’s My Policeman role later this Autumn.The romantic drama charts the life of a gay policeman in 1950s Britain as he tries to juggle his marriage to schoolteacher (Emma Corrin) while in a relationship with another man (David Dawson).
Harry Styles has spoken out about the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that suggested Roe v. Wade could be overturned, calling the move “so backwards”.Earlier this month, a draft opinion penned by Justice Samuel Alito argued that the 1973 landmark ruling was “egregiously wrong from the start”, adding that “it is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”Though the draft was confirmed as authentic, draft opinions can be subject to multiple drafts and vote-trading, sometimes until just days before they are shared, so the court’s decision is not final.
Harry Styles has revealed that he auditioned to play Elvis in Baz Luhrmann’s new biopic.Styles shared the news during Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show on Wednesday (May 18), calling Elvis Presley’s music “incredibly sacred”.The film, which is set for release on June 24, delves into the King of Rock and Roll’s relationship with his manager Colonel Tom Parker (played by Tom Hanks) spanning over 20 years, from the rock and roll icon’s rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America.“Elvis was probably the first person I knew besides my family when I was a kid,” the singer said. “For that reason, there was something incredibly sacred surrounding him, so I thought I should try to get the part.”Styles continued: “I was very intrigued by it… I feel like if a director feels like I’m not the best person for the role then it’s better for them and it’s better for me,” he said.

Harry Styles has spoken about the benefits of receiving therapy for his mental health after initially being hesitant to engage with it.The pop star said in a new interview that speaking to a professional had allowed him to “open up rooms” in himself that he was unaware existed.He said that he started therapy reluctantly about five years ago. “I thought it meant that you were broken,” he told Better Homes & Gardens, adding that he felt it was a music industry cliche to seek help.
