The first Monday in May is officially here, which means that today’s biggest stars, artists and professionals will take the luxurious white carpet at the 2024 Met Gala.
Bad Bunny and Jennifer Lopez served as co-chairs of the event at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, as did Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth and, as usual, Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. All five co-chairs stepped onto the carpet upon its opening, rocking jaw-dropping colors and textures to capture the “Garden of Time” dress code. The whimsical dress code is inspired by a 1962 J.G. Ballard short story of the same name.
This year’s exhibit theme, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, is set to feature 250 items from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection, according to an Instagram post announcing the theme back in November. The exhibit will appear at the museum beginning on May 10. “From a 17th century English Elizabethan-era bodice and Christian Dior’s famous Junon and Venus ballgowns, to 21st century acquisitions by designers including Phillip Lim, Stella McCartney, and Conner Ives, the core exhibit will span 400 years of history,” the caption reads.
The works will be displayed at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in new ways, including elements such as video animation, CGI, AI and more.
