The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute latest exhibit just broke attendance records.

According to WWD, this past weekend “China: Through The Looking Glass” topped the attendance numbers held before by 2011’s “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty,” with over 671,234 visitors. That means it was the Costume Institute’s most visited exhibition ever.

However, there are still three weeks until the exhibit closes on Labor Day, meaning it could break even more records.

Fashion is having a major moment when it comes to exhibits. The “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” exhibit just broke records in London as well.

The museum is crediting the lack of long lines for the increased numbers compared to the Alexander McQueen exhibit.

We have a feeling the Met Costume Institute should be thanking Rihanna for her yellow cape arrival at the Met Gala for the increased interest.

What did you think of the exhibit? Let us know in the comments below!
