Anna Wintour opens up on how Baz Luhrmann made Rihanna's Table Dance at Met Gala Happen!
During Saturday's LACMA Art + Film Gala, emcee Anna Wintour gave a funny anecdote about Rihanna to honor honoree Baz Luhrmann. A record-breaking 6.4 million USD was raised for charitable organizations at the event, which brought together a swarm of stars in one location. The music performed during the gala by Charli XCX was the most spectacular aspect of the celebrations.
 
Wintour paid particular homage to her longtime friend and collaborator, the avant-garde filmmaker Luhrmann. She mentioned in her speech a number of instances in which she had previously benefited from Luhrmann's creative contributions. According to a daily, one of the stories she told was about how Luhrmann orchestrated Rihanna's dance on a table during the Met Gala.
 
She revealed, "The year we put on a show of Chinese art and fashion, he announced before the gala that the evening could not go on unless we tracked down a giant gong with which to announce dinner. While we were locating and trying to figure out how to deliver this enormous instrument, Baz had somehow persuaded Rihanna to surprise everybody by dancing down the center of the dinner table."
 
"Incidentally, we are no longer allowed to give dinners in that gallery, but no one has stopped talking about that night," Wintour further added.
 
Wearing a fine Gucci suit, Luhrmann, the director of popular movies including Romeo and Juliet, The Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge, and Elvis, did not shy away from the spotlight as he urged those artists to inspire the next generation. He underlined that artists should strive to produce works of art that will inspire future generations.
 
In order to foster creativity and teamwork, he emphasized that everyone in the room should be involved and support youthful voices and energy who are entering the arts. “It’s our job now to turn around and to make space and to lift up the new voices and the new energies and the new generations, and let that new energy smash through this ossified world we’re in."
 
Baz Luhrmann stressed that he wasn't referring to retirement, but rather to the fact that the artists in the room have a responsibility to aid the legends his generation looked up to by making room for them.
