New York. – The Met Gala in New York raised a record $42 million this year to benefit the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met), solidifying itself as one of the most important charity events in the fashion world.
However, the night’s sparkle was marked by the jewels of some celebrities, especially those of singer Beyoncé, whose diamond necklace was valued at around $50 million, even surpassing the total amount raised by the event in terms of media impact.
The gala, sponsored this year by magnate Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sánchez, brought together prominent figures from entertainment, fashion, and business, in an edition marked by extreme luxury and high jewelry.
The event, held annually at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, continues to be one of the main sources of funding for the Costume Institute, as well as a global showcase for trends and spectacle.
The presence of Beyoncé, who returned to the gala after a decade-long absence, generated great attention for her striking outfit and the high jewelry pieces that complemented her look, making her one of the most talked-about figures of the night.
