Met Gala 2024: Theme
The event will celebrate the institute’s new exhibition, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" and the official dresscode is "The Garden of Time."
According to Vogue, which organises the Met Gala, more than 250 rare items will be featured from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection.
Spanning over 400 years of fashion history, the pieces will include designs by Schiaparelli, Dior, Givenchy, and more. A few rare and fragile designs like the Charles Frederick Worth ball gown from 1877 will be visually displayed with the help of video animation, light projection, AI, and CGI, according to Vogue.
Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of the Costume Institute, added that the exhibition will be shaped around three main “zones”—Land, Sea, and Sky—that pay tribute to the natural world. “It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,” he told Vogue.
