Which actress chaired the 2010 Met Gala alongside Anna Wintour and Patrick Robinson?

Oprah Winfrey chaired the 2010 Met Gala alongside Anna Wintour and Patrick Robinson.

The 2010 gala accompanied the Costume Institute exhibition “American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity.” Winfrey, one of the most prominent American television figures and philanthropists, served as one of the event’s high-profile chairs.

Met Gala chairs help host and promote the benefit, which raises money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. The role is separate from being an honorary guest or simply attending in a designer look.

The 2010 event is sometimes confused with the 2011 gala, which honored Alexander McQueen through the exhibition “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty.” The chair lists changed from year to year, and Anna Wintour remained the central organizing figure while different celebrities and business leaders joined her.
