The Met Gala 2024 is set to showcase glamour and style as the fashion world gathers in New York on Monday, May 6. With the theme “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening of Fashion,” the event promises a fusion of historical and technological elements to honor the evolution of fashion over time. Hosted by the iconic Anna Wintour, the gala will feature prominent figures like Jennifer López, Bad Bunny, Zendaya, and Chris Hemsworth as hosts of the dazzling “Garden of Time.” Not just a charity event, the Met Gala is where fashion becomes art and creativity reaches its peak.
Inspired by JG Ballard’s story “The Garden of Time,” this year’s Met Gala attendees will draw inspiration from historically fragile garments known as “sleeping beauties.” The narrative of two aristocrats surrounded by chaos in a dystopian setting could resonate with the 450 guests expected to shine at the event.
Among the celebrities preparing to attend the Met Gala 2024 are members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Rihanna, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, and Elon Musk, alongside figures from various industries. The honorary president of the gala is the CEO of TikTok, Shou Chew, highlighting the convergence between technology and fashion at the event.
The official dress code for the Met Gala 2024 is “The Garden of Time,” inspired by JG Ballard’s short story set in a garden filled with translucent flowers that manipulate time.
The gala will start at 6:00 pm ET at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which can be watched live on Vogue’s digital platforms or E! for Latin America viewers. The red carpet arrivals will begin before 6:00 pm, so fashion enthusiasts should stay tuned to catch all the glitz and glamour of the event.
