In 1948, tickets to the Met Gala were $50 apiece. In 2024, a single entry fee for the exclusive social event was about $75,000. Despite the high cost, celebrities, designers, and the who’s who of NYC and beyond shell out for the gala, which benefits the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. Since the ’70s, the annual affair has attracted household names wearing the most haute couture fashions — always adhering to the chosen theme. See some of the most out-there and iconic guests and looks at the Met Gala over the years.

Mike Ruiz, the acclaimed celebrity and fashion photographer who also stars in The A-List: New York, took some time to catch up with me and share his latest book project, Pretty Masculine.
Where are you today?
I'm in Apple Valley shooting about 10 guys for my expanding Pretty Masculine project. We've been out in a dry lake bed. Our makeup artist brought us to this remote location he knows about, and it's actually very cool. Compared with the chill of New York City right now, it's 80 degrees and sunny here. The light and the weather have been awesome.
Why don't you tell us a little bit about Pretty Masculine?
I had been working with a guy who did an event where a number of models were body painted, and I just thought, "Wow, I'd really love to do a photo shoot with that." So the first series is featuring body painting that resembles tribal tattoos.

Lady Gaga channels a number of fashion influences in her "Alejandro" video — the military, Madonna, religious imagery and even herself — and now the video's stylist, Nicola Formichetti, is providing Gaga's little monsters with a cheat sheet to which designers are responsible for Gaga's decadent, dark looks. In addition to Formichetti, Gaga's team included Eugene Souleiman (hair), Val Garland (makeup) and Anna Trevelyan and Brandon Maxwell (styling).
Here is the fashion rundown, as posted on Formichetti's blog:
The male military outfits were custom-made by Emporio Armani. The Haus of Gaga is responsible for the high-waisted shorts and masks worn by the male dancers as they carry metal body structures by Dinner. The look also includes studded glasses by Kerin Rose and military boots also custom-made by Emporio Armani.
