The Met Gala<\/a> hasn\u2019t even begun, but the drama already has, courtesy of the billionaire couple who hosted the kickoff party.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Jeff Bezos and Lauren S\u00e1nchez Bezos threw a pre-Met Gala party at their New York City residence on Saturday, May 2.<\/p>\n

The party was meant to be a warm-up ahead of the much-awaited annual fashion event, held on the first Monday of May to support the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City.<\/p>\n

Offering $10 million to sponsor Monday\u2019s Met Gala, the 62-year-old Amazon founder and the Emmy-winning journalist, 56, are serving as honorary co-chairs and are the primary donors funding. They reportedly scored major points with Anna Wintour for their billionaire connection to the event.<\/p>\n

The couple, who recently spent millions on a film about First Lady Melania Trump\u2019s life<\/a>, were named as lead sponsors, alongside secondary donors, Cond\u00e9 Nast and Saint Laurent.<\/p>\n

This gave the world\u2019s third-richest man and his wife power to influence the invites to the Met Gala and the overall presentation of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bezoses are where the American dream is at right now for status, wealth, and style,\u201d William Norwich, a former editor for Vogue told Page Six<\/a>. \u201cThey display conspicuous consumption [and] they have the \u2018AWOK\u2019 \u2014 the Anna Wintour OK.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fashion game was downright excessive at the billionaire couple-hosted pre-game, as stars like Kris Jenner, Sam Smith, Nicole Kidman, Serena Williams, Gayle King, and others attended the event.<\/p>\n

Netizens had wild reactions to the looks, asking, \u201cAre they raising money for cosmetic surgery?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rich club. Not for everyone,\u201d one said, while another wrote, \u201cAll these celebrities are paid to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA pre-party?\u201d one asked. \u201cThe actual hunger games celebration isn’t enough?\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are some of the scandalous looks that Hollywood\u2019s elite wore to the party.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vittoria Ceretti, who has been romantically linked with Leonardo DiCaprio since August 2023, also went braless for the Met Gala pre-game.<\/p>\n

She was dressed in a sheer evening dress from Chanel’s spring\/summer 2026 collection, designed with a fully sheer base dripping in yellow-and-white floral appliqu\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy? I really dont understand , and I seriously dont see what is the reason to be nak*d,\u201d one commented online.<\/p>\n

Hinting at a possible Met Gala debut, Lisa Rinna ditched her signature pixie and debuted a faux-hawk for the pre-Met Gala 2026 party.<\/p>\n

Actress and model Laura Harrier attended the soiree in a Wiederhoeft Spring 2026 dress.<\/p>\n

Her outfit received mixed views, with one saying, \u201cLaura looks so statuesque.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another snarked, \u201cThat dress is ugly AF.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked by InStyle<\/a> to describe her style in three words, she said: \u201c Effortless, chic, and somehow put together and undone at the same time. I know those are kind of opposites, but I want it to feel like both.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah Jane Nader leaned all the way into the barely-there trend for the weekend soiree.<\/p>\n

Her black striped dress played a risky game of peekaboo that the TV personality didn\u2019t care about winning.<\/p>\n

This Baywatch star, 29, clearly didn\u2019t come to play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Keeping in line with the \u201cFashion is Art\u201d dress code, Stacey Bendet wore art to the party.<\/p>\n

The fashion designer and CEO of Alice and Olivia LLC was a walking canvas and painted quite the picture at the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me fashion is an endlessly creative form of daily art and art is a constant inspiration for fashion\u201d she wrote on social media while sharing a clip of herself looking like an artpiece from a museum.<\/p>\n

Anna Wintour, who has been chair of the ball since 1995, wore an emerald-green satin coat, layered on top of a floral dress.<\/p>\n

Although she gave the \u201c\u2018AWOK\u2019 \u2014 the Anna Wintour OK\u201d to Jeff Bezos and Lauren S\u00e1nchez Bezos, some celebrities and people from the fashion crowd were not happy with Wintour courting the Bezoses, as it goes against what the Met Gala stands for.<\/p>\n

Reports claimed that Zendaya and Meryl Streep were among the stars who decided to skip the event altogether.<\/p>\n

The Met Gala is technically a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute and is meant to celebrate fashion as art, craftsmanship, and cultural storytelling. But many believe the Bezoses involvement would turn it into a spectacle and simply put extreme wealth on display.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m heartbroken,\u201d admitted a frequent Met Gala guest and fashion insider. \u201cIt\u2019s being able to buy yourself into [the good graces of] Anna and the Met.\u201d<\/p>\n

A group of activists were spotted at different locations near the Metropolitan Museumm and posters saying, \u201cBezos Met Gala: Brought to you by the firm that powers ICE\u201d and \u201cBoycott the Bezos Met Gala\u201d popped around the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bezos Met Gala: Brought to you by worker exploitation,\u201d read naother poster stuck on a wall just a few blocks away from the museum, referencing Amazon\u2019s alleged worker mistreatment.<\/p>\n

Three months after suffering an Olympic leg injury and needing several surgeries, Lindsey Vonn walked into the couple\u2019s Manhattan apartment with crutches.<\/p>\n

The skiing legend wore a long, brown dress and a big smile on her face as she attended the party.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Though she\u2019s in \u201csurvival mode\u201d while recovering from her injury, Vonn said she was excited to attend the Met Gala and would try to walk without crutches for the first time in her rehab at the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a few stairs. Yes, it\u2019s going to be intense,\u201d she told CNN. \u201cI was like, can I do this? Can I do this? \u2026 And it\u2019s been like the thing that I\u2019m like, can I get there? Like, you know, it\u2019s like been the light at the end of the tunnel. And I\u2019m going to try to walk.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 70-year-old Momager recently spoke about her facelift on her daughter Khloe Kardashian\u2019s podcast last month, addressing rumors about her hating her facelift.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe headline right now is that I hate my facelift and I\u2019m really mad at, I\u2019m furious at my doctor, Steven Levine. Which couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. It\u2019s a flat-out lie,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love my facelift. I adore my doctor,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
