Held on the first Monday in May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, the US event always generates global headlines.
Last year, Kim Kardashian was criticized for wearing the ‘nude’ Marilyn Monroe dress the movie icon wore to sing Happy Birthday to President John F. Kennedy. It was later alleged that the dress was damaged.
Wintour hopes the London event will make just as many headlines. A source said, “Celebrities will come from all over the world and their outfits will be something to see.”
The UK event, overseen by Bafta-winning film director Stephen Daldry, has been described as a ‘celebration of the British performing arts’.
It will feature a performance by rapper Stormzy, launch London Fashion Week and is expected to raise millions for organizations such as The National Theatre, The Royal Opera House and The Royal Ballet.
