Art Down to the Numbers at the 2015 Met Gala' China: Through the Looking Glass Exhibition

While the 2015 Met Gala may now be behind us, we've still got plenty on our minds. Not surprisingly (since the event was Anna Wintour-approved), the gala was a well-oiled fashion machine. And that means meticulous planning and excruciating attention to detail—oh, and apparently a massive amount of foliage. As for the woman responsible for fashion's most extravagant night out? That's none other than Vogue's Director of Special Events Sylvana Durrett. E!'s own Alicia Quarlescaught up with the woman of the evening on everything from the number crunch that goes into creating the event to experiencing the party first-hand. 250,000 roses in the entry centerpiece 30,000 bamboo plants as decoration $25,000 was the going rate for a ticket 3,500 peonies at the gala 200 pieces in the China: Through the Looking Glass exhibition 150 yards of red carpet 136+ celebrities that walked the red carpet 15 minutes between each guest arrival 11 hours celebrity tattoo artist Bang Bang spent on Cara Delevingne's faux tattoos 8 celebrities wearing Chinese/Chinese-American designers 7 celebrities wearing Versace 2 years spent planning this year's gala
