At the Met Gala, it’s not just the fashion that’s curated to perfection but the menu too! Anna Wintour, the high priestess of fashion, confesses to banishing chives, onions, and garlic from the Met Gala kitchens. It’s true, folks! In a revelation to Jenna Bush Hager during a breezy Monday interview, Wintour admits that these three ingredients don’t make the cut for her palate, consequently, they’re denied entry much like attire that snubs the event’s notorious dress code.
The ban on these aromatic but offending ingredients isn’t the only rule she’s enacted. Wintour is also behind the cell phone ban at the Gala, aiming to foster real conversations over digital distractions. She likened the event to a ‘Garden of Time,’ embracing this year’s ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’ theme with as much dedication to her dietary dislikes as to the evening’s sartorial splendor. Furthermore, co-chairs like Jennifer Lopez and Zendaya, alongside Chris Hemsworth, prove that the guest list is as meticulously chosen as Wintour’s menu policies – ensuring not just a feast for the eyes, but a menu that reflects the taste of Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief.
While Wintour told TODAY florals may appear in her outfit tonight, she says there are three flowering plants that won’t be anywhere near the party: onions, garlic and chives. https://t.co/0GfyTdpEJm
