Here's How To Watch The Met Gala

The 2016 Met Gala takes place on Monday, May 2. It is one of the biggest —if not the biggest— fashion events of the year. I mean, I still think about Rihanna's 2015 marigold gown and the ensuing pizza and Spongebob memes. If you are dying to see the dresses, you want to know how you can watch the 2016 Met Gala, right? Well, I've got thrilling news. You can easily get a front row seat to the Met Gala and for free.

You can watch the 2016 Met Gala via the brand new Vogue iPhone app. Not only do you get a daily dose of the latest and greatest fashion, beauty, runway, and celeb style news, along with an assortment of lifestyle content, but you will get unprecedented access to the 2016 edition of the Met Gala. You will see photos of all your fave celebs as soon as they hit the red carpet! Come for the evening's inimitable fashion and stay for the mag's exclusive behind-the-scenes coverage and the afterparties. OMG, right?! No matter where you are, your phone will morph into an electronic handcuff during the Met Gala because of this app.

The app is free, is exclusive to the iPhone, and it is available now.

This is the kind of coverage you can expect. So grab the app for the Met Gala.

Keep it for this sort of access, after the Met Gala has come and gone and the dress memes have been exhausted.
