It is held at the " Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute " located in the one and only New York City. Each year the museum displays a different exhibition to which celebrities get to play dress up and follow that theme. This year's exhibition is called, "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" which will be hosted by Anna Wintour (of course), A
