This year, the Met Gala is being underwritten by Louis Vuitton. (Pharrell Williams, the brand’s creative director for menswear, is a co-chair.) Of course, while Louis Vuitton stands to benefit handsomely from the association—at least if social media mentions are the goal—the brand didn’t need to underwrite the dinner in exchange for virality. After all, LV can buy as many tables as it wants, and dress dozens of attendees.⁠
⁠
But what about brands that don’t have that sort of budget, or simply don’t want to invest too much in an event that is so highly trafficked by other brands?⁠

Puck’s Lauren Sherman examines Oscar de la Renta’s strategic—if slightly risqué—approach to sponsoring this year’s Save Venice ball at the Plaza as a case study. Read her full dispatch at the link in bio.⁠
