The dogs at the Pet Gala brought just as much style as the celebrities at the Met Gala.
Each year, Anthony Rubio, a designer specializing in dog fashion, organizes a Pet Gala. At this event, dogs strut their stuff in outfits inspired by the latest trends from Fashion’s Biggest Night. This year, on Monday, May 20, the furry attendees sported their own versions of iconic looks like Jennifer Lopez’s Schiaparelli gown and Gigi Hadid’s Thom Browne dress.
Rubio shared his thoughts on the fundraiser for the Museum of the Dog in New York City. He mentioned that the event is not intended to mock the Met Gala, but rather to celebrate and admire the amazing designs showcased by talented designers from around the world.
Throughout June, fans can visit the Museum of the Dog to see the outfits worn by the dogs at the fundraiser.
