With its $75,000 ticket price and star-studded guest list, the Met Gala is a major moment for celebrities and pop culture aficionados alike. The annual event, which ushers in the spring exhibit for the Costume Institute at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, is known as fashion’s biggest night — but for everyone else watching from home, it’s an even bigger night for red carpet looks, celebrity memes and watercooler fodder.

This year, the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition is called “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” celebrating the style, politics and history of the way Black men dress. On the red carpet, celebrities are expected to dress according to theme. How well a theme is interpreted by attendees typically varies from year to year, just as widely as the themes themselves.

Here’s what you need to know about this year’s Met Gala.

As always, the Met Gala will be held on the first Monday of May. This year, it falls on May 5. Guest arrivals are scheduled from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET, but some celebrities may show up fashionably late.

The Met Gala is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
