MET GALA 2021: A LOOK BACK AT SOME OF THE MOST EYE-CATCHING LOOKS
Fox News has reached out to the NYPD to inquire about the number of arrests but did not immediately hear back.
The gala, which raises money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, was pushed last year from its traditional May berth and morphed this year into a two-part affair marking the institute's 75th anniversary.
It coincides with the opening of "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion," the first of a two-part exhibition at the Met's Anna Wintour Costume Center.
