Written by Rossilynne Skena CulganMonday May 1 2023FacebookTwitterPinterestEmailWhatsAppAdvertisingAs the stars prepare for the Met Gala tonight, hundreds of New Yorkers have already had their own fashionable fun. The People's Ball, hosted by Brooklyn Public Library last night, welcomed all to a free event that serves as "a fashion-forward ode to inclusivity that invites New Yorkers of all stripes to express their individuality and flaunt their unique style as they walk the runway and dance the night away." The ball welcomed fashion innovators to take center stage and encouraged attendees to strut their stuff on the catwalk. Since this year is the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, The People’s Ball included some nods to the special occasion. RECOMMENDED: 5 things to see at the Met Museum’s new Karl Lagerfeld exhibit The People’s Ball enlisted fashion curator Souleo and visual artist Mickalene Thomas to honor Five People’s Heroes whose work has changed the culture. The People’s Heroes comprised Dapper Dan, a Harlem couturier and pioneer of high-end streetwear; April Walker, a fashion icon and the first woman with an urban fashion brand, Walker Wear; Cindy Campbell, the First Lady of Hip Hop and first Hip Hop promoter; Aura Mejia, the Tenant Organizing and Advocacy Manager of Neighbors Helping Neighbors; and Asmeret Berhe-Lumax, the founder of One Love Community Fridge. "Each year, The People’s Ball is a reminder that BPL is much more than just books—it’s a center for culture, ideas, exploration, individual expression and, most importantly, joy," László Jakab Orsós, vice president of arts and culture at Brooklyn Public Library, said in a statement. This is the third year for The People's Ball, and these free tickets are in high demand—no surprise considering tickets to the actual Met gala go for $35,000 a piece. Here are 10 outstanding outfits from the gala last night. 1. A look for summer
