The most highly-anticipated 2024 Met Gala will be held on the first Monday in May. The 2024 Costume Institute exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is titled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” The event will feature approximately 250 items from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection. Here is everything you need to know about the 2024 Met Gala.
Everything about the 2024 Met Gala
The Met Gala serves as a charity event and fundraiser for The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, traditionally coinciding with the opening of its yearly fashion exhibit. Each year, the event generates millions in donations. With many big names, from Hollywood celebrities to Kpop stars, attending the Met Gala every year, it surely gains more attention.
What transpires at the Met Gala remains confidential. Hence, guests must adhere to a no-phone policy to ensure no social media presence. The gala typically features a performance by a prominent artist, and attendees are invited to view the exhibition before convening for a communal dinner.
The 2024 Met Gala: When and Where
The 2024 Met Gala will take place on Monday, May 6, in New York City at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The event will celebrate the Costume Institute’s new exhibition, titled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” Meanwhile, the official dress code is “The Garden of Time,” which can remind us to spring season.
Additionally, the exhibit will feature approximately 250 rare items drawn from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection, including designs by Schiaparelli, Dior, Givenchy, and more. However, items with too fragile garments to be worn again will be displayed via video animation, light projection, AI, CGI, and another form of sensory stimulation.
This Year’s Hosts
The hosts for the 2024 Met Gala include Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth. They succeeded in the previous year’s celebrated ensemble, which consisted of Penélope Cruz, Michaela Coel, Roger Federer, Dua Lipa, and Vogue’s Anna Wintour. Wintour, who has been overseeing the Met Gala since 1995, has transformed it into the beloved annual fashion spectacle it is today.
Meanwhile, Actor Gwendoline Christie, producer and actor La La Anthony, and model Ashley Graham will co-host the carpet in 2024. Furthermore, Emma Chamberlain will also return as Vogue’s special correspondent to interview some of the gala’s biggest stars.
