The Met Gala, also known as the 'Oscars of fashion,' is set to take place on May 6, 2024, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The theme for this year's event is 'Garden of Time.' Some confirmed attendees include Rihanna, Gisele Bündchen, Lily Gladstone, Ayo Edebiri, Kendall Jenner, Barry Keoghan, Olivia Rodrigo, Uma Thurman, Cara Delevingne, Sarah Paulson and Met Gala co-chairs Zendaya, Bad Bunny Chris Hemsworth and Jennifer Lopez. The gala's attendance is limited to about 450 guests who must be personally approved by Anna Wintour before purchasing their $50,000 ticket or a $300,00 table. The red carpet will start at 6 pm ET on May 6 and will be streamed on Vogue's website and social media channels as well as broadcasted on E!.
The Costume Institute Benefit is the primary source of funding for the museum's Costume Institute, which is home to nearly 33,000 fashion objects from the past seven centuries. The Met Gala has become a destination for fashion insiders and pop culture power players alike, with its red carpet watched eagerly by viewers around the world.
The theme for this year's Met Gala, 'Garden of Time,' is inspired by the 2024 Costume Institute exhibit, 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.' The exhibit will open to the public on May 10. Some fashion designers expected to be in attendance include Schiaparelli, Givenchy and Dior.
The Met Gala has a rich history of iconic moments, from Audrey Hepburn's debut in 1952 to Lady Gaga's meat dress in 2010. The event is always an exciting display of fashion and creativity.
