THR reports that "Anna wants more exclusivity and high fashion" at this year's Met Gala, with regards to the guest list and dress code for attendees. The Met raised ticket prices from $15,000 to $25,000, so only celebs who can say "what's another $10k, amirite?" make the red carpet. The event, scheduled for May 5, will celebrate American couturier Charles James, which lends itself to many a high fashion opportunity (and is way less awkward than watching your favorite celeb try to pull off punk.)
