As Vogue revealed, Ariana Grande, who is set to take the world by storm with her highly anticipated role as Glenda in the film adaptation of Wicked, surprising fans with her Met Gala performance.

The Met Gala has been a major event for the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1948. It’s raised an unbelievable amount of money for the institute since its inception and has become fashions biggest night.

The Met Ball is by invitation only and even then the roughly 450 people who attend the yearly gala are required to buy a ticket that cost a staggering $75,000, Time reports.

After getting the invite and paying thousands of dollars to secure your spot, People reveals that your look must then be approved from Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

Phone Are Prohibited

This is a must if the Met wants to keep the shenanigans that happen behind closed doors a secret. However, it seems as though the iconic bathroom shots that are shared year in and year out are an exception to that rule.

No Smoking at Your Assigned Seats

There is a seating chart inside the event and it must be followed. Also, like most establishments these days, not even the elite are allowed to smoke inside the event.

You Must Be 18 or Older
