The event is held on the first Monday of May each year and is considered the most prominent fashion event in the world.

It brings together celebrities, fashion designers, and other influential figures in the fashion industry, who walk the red carpet in avant-garde, costumes and ensembles that adhere to a specific theme for that year's event.
