The Pet Gala, an event organized by designer Anthony Rubio, took place at the AKC Museum of the Dog in New York City. The event featured dogs dressed in outfits inspired by the 2024 Met Gala looks of celebrities such as Bad Bunny, Gigi Hadid, Shakira, Nicki Minaj, and Cardi B. Rubio, known for his pet and women's wear designs, recreated these iconic looks specifically for the canine participants. The Pet Gala showcased 18 dogs, including a Pomeranian in a custom dress inspired by Nicki Minaj's Marni look from the Met Gala held two weeks prior.
