If you’re famous like the Kardashians and Hadids, you can get a pass into the MET gala. The ‘IT’ celebrities from around the world are the ones being invited to the fashion event every year. The famous celebrities don’t need to buy their tickets, but are invited to spread their sizzle on the red carpet.

  1. Date Someone Famous

If not for being famous yourself, you could always end up being someone’s plus one. If someone is dating a popular celebrity, they are sure to get an invitation to the MET gala. 

  1. Donate Money

Individuals and fashion organisations who donate tonnes of money make up for the benefactors at the MET Gala 2023. Renowned brands like Yves Saint Laurent to Amazon are the ones who buy an entire table to the event.

  1. Work At Vogue

Even if you’re working at a fashion magazine, chances are you'll be invited to the MET Gala. Cons: you might end up working through the event, but its definitely worth it.

  1. Perform At The Gala

Another way to get into the MET Gala is to perform at the event. Last year, Justin Bieber scored an invitation after being signed on as the performer. Wife Hailey Bieber too got an invitation for being the ‘plus one’ of the performers.
