The first Monday in May is dedicated to the Met Gala and its many celebrities, but the third Monday is for dogs.
On May 20, the AKC Dog Museum in New York City hosted its first Pet Gala, an evening of canine fashion modeled after the famous Met Gala.
Pet Gala started in 2013 as a photo project of couturier and women's clothing designer Anthony Rubio.
For years, Rubio has been recreating Met Gala looks for chic dogs, and then sharing his creations in annual photoshoots. In 2024, Rubio partnered with the AKC Dog Museum to expand the project into its own glamorous event.
The dogs arrived at the first Pet Gala wearing custom clothing designed by Rubio. Over the past two weeks, Rubio designed all of the Pet Gala dog outfits so that each outfit was a recreation of the 2024 Met Gala look.
“I want people to understand that we are not making fun of the Met Gala. We are not imitating the Met Gala,” Rubio told The Associated Press. “We celebrate, celebrate and appreciate the wonderful designs that were presented at the Met Gala by the world's most talented designers.”
