The Latest will be back tomorrow night.

This episode was presented by me, Lucy Hoff.

It was produced by Nadas Milyunic.

The senior producer was Ryan Ramgobin and the lead producer was Zoe Hitch.

This is The Guardian.

The Met Gala, it's got a lot to do with fashion, but it is also about, like, who's got the power.

You know, it's a grotesque pageant, sort of a striking representation of the way that rich people co-opt arts and sport and culture.

And at the moment, the big tech has the money.

The thing about Jeff Bezos is that he's definitely not known for his style.

And I would say Lauren Sanchez is not particularly known for her style either.

In the last sort of nine months or so, there have also been rumours that Bezos is possibly plans to buy Condé Nast.

The sort of crossover between ethics and the neckline of doing this is not an obvious one.

So the Met Gala, technically it's a fundraiser for the Costin Institute, which is a part of the museum.

And they raise money through selling very, very, very expensive tickets.

It's $100,000 of tickets, right?

Which is more than it was last year.

And for a whole table, it's $350,000.

Wow.

It's got a lot to do with fashion, but it is also about kind of like who's got the power, who are the big names.

And also there's sort of interesting time for the industry because luxury fashion is kind of bottoming out a little bit.
