Not the stylists, editors, press reps, and buyers that title usually goes to\u2014we\u2019re talking the real, shake-the-rafters, operatic kind.

This year, several designers have also contributed sketches of the classic characters of the opera, from Aida to Tosca. We\u2019ve got your first look at sketches from Victoria Bartlett (whose take on Puccini\u2019s Turandot is above), Jason Wu, Peter Som, Behnaz Sarafpour, and Narciso Rodriguez, which go on view on the auction block at the annual event on May 20.
