The fashion world is abuzz with excitement as the year’s most eagerly awaited event ‘Met Gala’ approaches! New York City is about to host the lavish celebration that not only supports the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute but also showcases the brightest stars from music, cinema, TV, and fashion. Anticipate an evening brimming with elegance and notable guests at this year’s gala.
When is the Met Gala 2024 Happening?
Mark your calendars for May 6th, because that’s when the Met Gala 2024 is set to take place! Staying true to its customary timing, the gala will unfold on the first Monday of May. Officially titled the Costume Institute Gala, this event is a significant fundraiser for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
What is the Theme of Met Gala 2024?
The 2024 Met Gala is all set to showcase the Costume Institute’s newest exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with the theme “The Garden of Time” guiding the evening’s attire. The exhibition will display around 250 distinctive items from the institute’s historical collection, spanning a remarkable 400 years of fashion evolution, featuring works from renowned designers such as Schiaparelli, Dior, and Givenchy. Highlighting the event, some of the most delicate and historic garments, like a Charles Frederick Worth ball gown from 1877, will be exhibited using cutting-edge technology such as video animation, light projection, AI, CGI, and various sensory enhancements.
Andrew Bolton, the Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of the Costume Institute, shared insights into the exhibition’s structure, which will be divided into three principal “zones”: Land, Sea, and Sky. These sections are designed to honor the splendor of the natural world. He described the exhibition as “an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion.”
