Rush-hour traffic in New York City, notoriously challenging on any given day, becomes even more so during high-profile events like the Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. With streets clogged by fans, celebrities, and luxury vehicles, navigating Manhattan becomes a daunting task. To circumvent this, some celebrities have found creative solutions to ensure timely arrivals, which is critical given the Gala’s strict schedule and the importance placed on punctuality by figures like Anna Wintour. Model Karlie Kloss, for example, opted for a pedicab ride through Central Park to beat the traffic, arriving at the event without compromising her look, dressed in Carolina Herrera. Similarly, actress Mindy Kaling chose public transportation, taking the subway from Nolita to the Gala, showcasing the lengths to which celebrities will go to navigate the city’s congested streets during major events.
