Wintour gets final word on the guest list at the annual gala — one of spring’s hottest and most-sought-after tickets — which helps fund the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. Monday’s event will pay tribute to Miuccia Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli and help launch the museum’s new exhibition, “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations.”
