Logistics! We already know Anna approves every guest but who decides what they’ll wear and which table they’ll be seated at ( I’m assuming big brands buy several) or do the designers get to choose who they’ll dress? I know it’s a bit different this year because of Chanel’s outsized role but in general.

Who gets to get ready at The Carlyle? Is it everyone or a select few (and are there other hotel suites in the area at say The Mark for more subdued celebs)?

I’ll most likely skip this one ( and I’ve been going to the costume institute since I was 4 ) because of the Karl factor but also the Met raised their prices again and don’t have a pay what you wish afternoon/evening like other museums around town.
