This year’s Met Gala has everyone talking. With invites, seating arrangements, and outfits, fans are spreading their opinions. One of the biggest controversies from this year’s gala is the invitation of influencers. Many argue influencers are not worthy of attending the gala. Addison Rae, Dixie D’amelio, and Emma Chamberlin are just some of the influencers invited this year. Not only were they invited to walk the red carpet, but visit with some A-list celebs. Another controversy was the outfit theme: American Independence. Many argue that nobody followed the theme, compared to past years.
