This year’s Met Gala theme—Garden of Time—was a bit nebulous for the stars who walked the red carpet. Some nailed it (we’re looking at you, Tyla and Lewis Hamilton), while others wore whatever gown or tux they wanted to, without much regard for the context.
If the humans couldn’t get it right, how could dogs, whose concept of time revolves around time for treats, time for a walk, and time for a nap? The precious pups at this year’s Pet Gala mimicked the memorable looks from stars like Zendaya, Cardi B, Bad Bunny, Sarah Jessica Parker and more. And they were so cute, we don’t mind if their looks didn’t fit the theme.

Pet Couturier Anthony Rubio hosted The Pet Gala at the AKC Museum of the Dog in Midtown East on Monday, showcasing 16 re-created Met Gala looks. In just two weeks, the stylist superstar turned red carpet gowns and suits into pet-friendly looks. With his experience hosting pup fashion shows during New York Fashion Week, Rubio was up for the challenging task.
“I love to challenge myself,” Rubio says. “The designers for The Met Gala have months to create their looks for celebrities to shine on the red carpet. I have two weeks to recreate them and for dogs. When I design for my Fashion Week runway shows, it’s all my aesthetic. For The Pet Gala, I have to figure out how to translate garments worn by humans onto our four-legged stars. Humans can suffer for their fashion, but dogs will not. Their comfort and safety is my top priority. It’s a challenge I’m always up for. I thrive under the pressure.”
Thrive indeed. The looks dazzled with sequins, ruffles and perfect tailoring, ensuring that every dog had their day.
Here are a few of the outstanding outfits:

Back in 2018, the Palace Theatre at 1564 Broadway by 47th Street was shut down for a pretty massive renovation and restoration project that included plans to raise the landmarked venue about 30 feet in the air.
And now, just in time for Broadway darling Ben Platt’s upcoming three-week residency on site, the theatre, originally focused on vaudeville acts, is ready for its closeup and a much anticipated grand reopening.
It’s important to note that, given the 14-million-pounds institution’s landmark status, the $80 million restructuring project had to be completed without damaging—or, really, changing—the space’s arches, box seats and ceiling. Officials were able to build out a new orchestra pit and stage lifts, though, in addition to installing new finishes palettes and light fixtures inspired by the original Beaux-Arts style of the destination, according to an official press release.
The theater also boasts a brand-new lobby, backstage area, stunning marquee and a fresh entrance on 47th Street.
The decision to move the entryway off Times Square echoes similar moves by other major Broadway buildings, likely directly linked to the constant pedestrian traffic that defines the neighborhood.
Fun fact: the Palace Theatre’s auditorium was actually originally built inside a box, a fact that allowed construction crews to quite literally lift it and add square footage dedicated to more bathrooms, a new lobby, ground-floor retail space and more at the site.
“Teams from 10-12 construction and engineering firms emptied the building’s cellar and sub-cellar and installed an elaborate hydraulic jacking system and a large concrete ring beam around the theater,” reads the press release. “This created a pocket for the elevation to take place. Once the theater reached 16 feet, the lift paused so the new floors could be built.”
Who knew Broadway was also where feats of architectural marvel could still shock us?
