Concerning the appearance of the former Vice President of the US, Kamala Harris, along with her husband Doug Emhoff at this year’s Met Gala, there has been a wave of speculation regarding who paid for the $150,000 tickets, and it has turned the social media netizens wild.
On Monday night, Kamala Harris and Emhoff showed up at the Met Gala, which is being organized in New York City, and she was seen in a custom black-and white gown in off-white. What makes her appearance even more special is that this is the first time that she stepped foot at the grand spectacle.
The couple was seen skipping the red carpet, but she didn’t skip showing up in the photos, though, before the event started, and appeared in a silk silhouette with an asymmetrical cape sleeve and a long scarf.
A spokesperson for Harris said that it was Anna Wintour, the Met Gala co-chair and the Vogue editor-in-chief, who invited her. However, the talk about the tickets wasn’t unveiled regarding who actually paid for it, as the price stands at a whopping amount of $75,000 per person, and is considered as the most exclusive party of the year.
As usual, users didn’t miss any chance of spreading rumors on X, talking about the mystery of the tickets.

“With a $20 million debt from her campaign, she can afford a $75,000 ticket for the Met Gala,” one user wrote on the platform. “Well, we guess this just proves how budget-minded DemUNIST really are.”
“While regular folks are scraping by, she’s flaunting a dress that probably cost $75,000,” another user said. “Come on, read the room!”
“Who paid for Kamala’s Met Gala $75,000 ticket?” another wrote. “I thought she grew up in a middle-class household. So out of touch.”
Speculations are also arriving on the fact that the former VP is gradually coming to the limelight again, as she will be mulling a bid as the Governor of California in the upcoming year. Reports also state that on Feb. 15, the couple went backstage for a meeting with the cast and crew of a Broadway musical, A Wonderful World and which circles around the Jazz legend Louis Armstrong.
People can check the footage of the musical on the official Instagram page of the show, and it also features Harris shaking hands with them, in different poses, at Studio 54 after the performance.
