Abstract
The Met Gala is a highly influential event that not only attracts celebrities but also has a significant impact on various businesses. It generates billions of social media views and boosts designer and luxury brands, stylists, hotels, and other industries. Last year, the event generated $995 million in media impact value, with Chanel being the top-performing brand. The Met Gala serves as a platform for brands to tell their stories and reach a wider audience, contributing to New York City's economy by attracting visitors and sparking tourism. The event also benefits luxury hotels, florists, candy stores, restaurants, and fashion brands, allowing them to showcase their products and services to a global audience. [Extracted from the article]
