“This is my favorite time of the year. The Met Gala designers get months to create their looks — I get just two weeks to translate them for dogs. Fashion Week is my vision, but The Pet Gala is a challenge in adaptation. The dogs' comfort and safety always come first. It pushes me to be more creative, and I absolutely thrive on it.”

Pet Fashion's Biggest Night
The Pet Gala will feature designs from the 2024 Met Gala replicated by Pet Couturier Anthony Rubio. For the first time, we invite you to join us for this glamorous evening.
The evening festivities will include:
A 21-foot red carpet and flower wall grand entrance.
Different flower wall stations where each celebrity dog will be featured and others spread out around the venue for photo opportunities during the champagne reception.
A full runway show of the stars with commentary by designer Anthony Rubio.
A full sit-down dinner at the attached Club 101 with an open bar.
From Anthony Rubio:
This is my favorite time of the year. I love to challenge myself. The designers for The Met Gala have months to create their looks for celebrities to shine on the red carpet. I have two weeks to recreate them and for dogs. When I design for my Fashion Week runway shows, it's all my aesthetic. For The Pet Gala, I have to figure out how to translate garments worn by humans onto our four-legged stars. Humans can suffer for their fashion, but dogs will not. Their comfort and safety is my top priority. It's a challenge I'm always up for. I thrive under the pressure.

The featured look in the invite above is a recreation by Anthony Rubio of Alexander McQueen butterfly dress first worn by actress Elizabeth Banks in the film The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Just as in the case of the original, with an embellished carapace of artificial butterflies made of feathers, this hourglass-shaped dress relies on minimal seaming and is wholly free of boning.
