About this episode

The Met Gala isn’t just a red carpet, it’s fashion’s most powerful gate.


In this Insider Feature, Nakul Lax breaks down how The Met Gala really works: the money behind it, how invitations are decided, why brands spend hundreds of thousands to be there, and how status, access, and image are carefully choreographed on one iconic staircase.


From real behind-the-scenes mechanics and famous controversies to the psychology of exclusivity and modern celebrity culture, this episode explores why the Met Gala fascinates, divides, and defines fashion and what it reveals about power in today’s world.
