Plenty of glitz and glamour

There was plenty of glitz and glamour as some of the biggest names in entertainment, fashion, sports and politics partied Monday at the annual Met Gala.

As always, the celebration included some head-turning costumes. 

Black and white dresses were the trend of the night on the steps of the Met Museum, all to honor Lagerfeld, the designer for Chanel from 1983 until his death in 2019. 

"It's the combination of all the wonderful talent that I get to meet and the creativity that I see and the ability to try and help people, and use the platform that I am so lucky to have the best that I can," said "Vogue" editor Anna Wintour.
