At the time, the couple had been together for five years having met at a Fashion Week party in 1998. Melania recalls the details of that meeting stating, Donald Trump wanted her number but he was with another date, hence she did not give it to him. She then asked him for his number and assured him she would call him later. She wanted to see what type of number he would give her and it ended up to be a business number. She was taken aback and told him she does not wish to business with him.
After that meeting, Donald Trump proposed to Melania at the 2004 Met Gala event with an emerald-cut ring (15 carat) worth 1.5 million USD. Shockingly, despite there being hundreds of cameras and people around nobody noticed the massive ring on Melania's finger. Donald Trump proposed his lady love and it was a secret known to none. Donald Trump continued to attend the starry event until 2013.

Mukesh Ambani's daughter and businesswoman Isha Ambani is among the women who are celebrating fashion at the Met Gala 2019. Isha Ambani opted for a lavender gown designed by Prabal Gurung for the occasion. The theme for this year's Met Gala is 'Camp: Notes on Fashion', which is a play on Susan Sontag's iconic essay titled 'Notes on Camp'. Prabal Gurung told Vogue India, "We’ve been working on this together for many months. With the camp theme, we wanted to celebrate the exuberance and essence of who Isha is. We chose to highlight her spirit through the glamorous silhouette and the intricacies of the hand embroidered feathers and beadwork. In keeping with the theme, we had a vision of Isha in a magical, dreamlike state and looked to the work of Degas’ ballet dancers, evoking an ethereal and romantic quality where the power of her femininity is heightened. We took a couture approach and played with the proportion of her skirt."
