The highly anticipated Met Gala is just around the corner, and this year’s theme is sure to transport attendees into a fairytale world. According to Vogue, the 2024 Met Gala will take place on Monday, May 6, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
The theme for this year’s event is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with a dress code of “The Garden of Time.” The exhibit will showcase 50 delicate pieces of clothing that are too fragile to be worn again, along with 250 designs from four centuries taken from the museum’s permanent collection.
Nature will play a significant role in the theme, serving as a metaphor for the fragility and ephemerality of fashion. The exhibition aims to explore the cyclical themes of rebirth and renewal, using nature as a symbol of impermanence in the fashion world.
The celebrity co-chairs for the 2024 Met Gala include Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, and Zendaya, alongside Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. This star-studded lineup was announced via Instagram, with each co-chair embodying the essence of the “Garden of Time” dress code.
While the official guest list has not been revealed yet, past attendees like the Kardashian-Jenners and other high-profile celebrities are expected to grace the red carpet. The Met Gala, which began in 1948, has become a charity event benefiting the Met’s Costume Institute and a night filled with glamour, fashion, and philanthropy.
As the countdown to the 2024 Met Gala begins, fashion enthusiasts and celebrity watchers alike are eagerly awaiting the magical night that promises to blend art, fashion, and fantasy in a truly unforgettable way.
