In Midtown, Vogue Club s annual Met Gala Red Carpet Watch Party Toasted to the First Monday in May

As the A-listers, movers, and shakers took to the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art across town on the first Monday in May, Vogue Club s most stylish gathered for their annual Met Gala Red Carpet Watch Party at The Whitby.

Just before the red carpet kicked off, Vogue s Julia Hobbs toasted the assembled Vogue Club community—and highlighted the many events coming up on the calendar this season. (Up next: a members-only tour of the Costume Institute on May 14!)

Amidst The Whitby s whimsical decor and stunning florals by Ivie Joy, Club members paid homage to this year s theme, The Garden of Time. In between ogling at the Livestream, party-goers had their portraits drawn by artist Rebecca Schneider.
