Bezos, Sánchez Host Met Gala Pre-Party Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez will host a private pre-party on Saturday, May 2, in New York City, ahead of their debut as honorary co-chairs and lead financial sponsors of the Met Gala on Monday, May 4. The event precedes the main gala, which has drawn public scrutiny regarding the couple's involvement.
Invitations for the Saturday evening gathering, themed with a disco-inspired image, specify a start time of 8 p.m., with the address to be provided upon confirmation. While the exact location remains unconfirmed, sources suggest it may be held at the couple's New York City residence. A representative for Bezos and Sánchez declined to comment on the event.
The couple's role as honorary co-chairs and lead sponsors of the Met Gala's "Costume Art" exhibition has prompted a poster campaign in New York City by an activist group. These posters have called for a boycott of what they term "The Bezos Met Gala," citing concerns over worker exploitation at Amazon warehouses and the company's reported support for the Department of Homeland Security.
