If there is anything that remains of the grandeur of Golden Europe, even in mock, the Met Gala is the first thing to emerge in the mind of a pop-culture partisan. Let on only to a list carefully chiseled into the most perfect model of a modern-day neighborhood of aristocrats by Dame Anna Wintour. And this season, following the legacy, is set to be manned by two of the most giant studs of the showbiz industry, co-chair A$AP Rocky and his superstar wife, Rihanna. 

From its pompous displays to chaste conversations under glistening chandeliers, and a dinner kept a secret behind closed doors, no satire on earth has yet proven itself to be more breathtaking to be spectated than the Met and Anna Wintour is only working to further bedazzle the expectations. 

Dubbed as the biggest night of the show business, a fundraiser-event-turned-biggest-showdown of popularity and reverence in the industry, the Met Gala, is the least looked past in its wake. Writing history time and again for either the best or the worst of whomever has been a part of it, or of itself, this year seems to be no less worthy of anticipation. As Anna Wintour revealed to Entertainment Tonight, her co-chairman A$AP Rocky, and his pop-mogul wife Rihanna; handpicked for the Black Dandy fashion homage this year; are probably the biggest harbingers of style on the list because of their brilliance, talent, and "enormous amount of style."

Receiving the hardly unnoticeable green light from one of the most powerful people in the fashion industry, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna have been established to be playing an influential role in the theme this season. The selection of the theme however is just the tip of the iceberg as Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are set to cause a lapse in beats courtesy of their outfits, with the former's being a secret even to Wintour herself.  Wintour's acknowledgement of the couple being architects of pop culture through their unbeatable influence, stone-set values and style is probably just a snippet of what is underway for the biggest night of Hollywood, with the bigger picture being more than just a fashion showcase.

The Met Gala, a show and tell field day for stardom; while entrenched as the most unabridged presentation of luxury and riches in recent times, is not something that should be understood as simply that, however. There is, as per usual for the show business, more than what meets the eye. 

Always set for the very first Monday of May every possible year up until its commencement, the high-profile event has a few layers to uncover before creating its image of gold and glitter in one's mind. The Met Gala was far from simply being a display for the rich. It had its humble beginnings as a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. It is one simple dinner put together one night in 1948 by one fashion publicist, Eleanor Lambert, that has today evolved into a star-studded red carpet spectacle. The oven to some of the most tectonic events in pop culture, from elevations of status to nose-burying controversies.

The Met Gala continues to embody the opulence of riches today. A showcase for model aristocracy in the 21st century. Curated by Anna Wintour, this year, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are set to co-chair the event, promising a celebration of Black dandyism that themes the book by Monica L. Miller, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. Their influence in fashion and pop culture sets the stage for a memorable evening, building anticipation that surpasses the roofs.
