As is the case every year, the Fashion Institute has recruited a handful of celebrities to head the event, and this year Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively will take over the reins.
Regina King and Lin-Manuel Miranda will serve as co-chairs and official hosts.
Organized annually by Vogue and held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this event marks the beginning of the Costume Institute’s Fashion Show, which is held annually.
