And this year the party \u2013 which attracts every A-list celebrity you can think of \u2013 continued right here in the Hunter gym.<\/p>\n<p>Held on the first Monday in May every year, celebrities of all different professions get invited to this prestigious event hosted by Anna Wintour &#8212; the longtime editor and artistic director of Vogue. Each year, Wintour herself selects a few people to serve as hosts of the \u2018Oscars of the East Coast,\u2019 as it is often referred to in the tabloids.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Wintour selected singer Harry Styles, tennis star Serena Williams, singer and actress Lady Gaga, and the creative director of Gucci, Alessandro Michele. It was Gucci\u2019s after party that took place here, with the gym converted to a dance floor. (This reporter got the news when her roommate\u2019s friend spotted Styles himself on an escalator in Hunter West at 10 p.m. that night.)<\/p>\n<p>The MTA shut down the 6 station under the school to limit access to the gym, which is on the same level as the subway. Hunter was surrounded inside and out by security and NYPD officers; barricades were set up outside prohibiting fans and paparazzi from getting too close to attendees.<\/p>\n<p>Once inside, guests were escorted down the bleachers and onto the basketball court giving off a \u2018high-school prom\u2019 feel, according to Vogue Magazine. A DJ was in attendance and hors d\u2019oeuvres were served around every corner of the star-studded event by white T-shirted men.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BxQBDYMnvPf\/\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BxQBDYMnvPf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">In keeping with the #MetCamp theme, #Gucci\u2019s after party space at Hunter College Gymnasium was adorned with tinsel streamers, collegiate themed monogramed cups, and GUCCI VS.
