Dozens of stars strutted up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 6 for the 2024 Met Gala, and the fashionable dogs of the world took note.
On May 20, the third Monday in May, pet designer Anthony Rubio will host his inaugural Pet Gala at the AKC Museum of the Dog in New York City.
According to the museum, the Pet Gala is a tribute to the Met Gala and its stunning fashions. The event will feature canines wearing recreations of the celebrity looks from the 2024 Met Gala carpet.
There is potentially a chance to see a boxer dog wearing a version of Jessica Biel's bountiful pink gown or collie modeling a dog-friendly version of Kim Kardashian's cinched silver look. The exact Met Gala outfits Rubio will recreate for the Pet Gala have yet to be revealed.

"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," Anthony Rubio said in a statement.
"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," he assured.
Animal lovers and fashion fans can see Rubio's dog dresses for themselves by attending the Pet Gala. Unlike the Met Gala, invitations are not required to attend the Pet Gala. Tickets are on sale to the public now.
