The Met Gala is scrambling to do damage control amid questions about its billionaire sponsors.
The event, formally known as the Costume Institute Benefit, is an annual homage to fashion, art, and celebrity. This year, Amazon’s billionaire leader, Jeff Bezos, and his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, are serving as honorary chairs and official sponsors.
The Bezos’ involvement in the gala has sparked widespread discourse and backlash. Speculation heightened since A-list actresses Zendaya and Meryl Streep declined invitations to the event.
