When is the 2024 Met Gala?
The Met Gala is traditionally held on the first Monday in May. The 2024 Met Gala will take place on Monday, May 6, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, located near Central Park on New York City’s Upper East Side. The ultraexclusive event is more than a glamorous night out; it is a ticketed fundraiser that supports the Costume Institute’s exhibitions, publications, acquisitions, operations, and more. It also marks the opening of the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition.
What’s the dress code for the 2024 Met Gala?
As for what the attendees will be wearing, the 2024 Met Gala dress code is “the Garden of Time.” It’s inspired by a 1962 short story written by J.G. Ballard. Like every Met Gala theme, it is open to interpretation by the evening’s guests and could result in a range of renditions—including ones featuring colorful florals, garlands of ivy, and dramatic timepieces. The “Garden of Time” theme connects to the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” Featuring approximately 250 objects, the show hopes to “reactivate the sensory capacities of masterworks in the museum’s collection through firsthand research, conservation analysis, and diverse technologies—from cutting-edge tools, artificial intelligence, and computer-generated imagery to traditional formats of X-rays, video animation, light projection, and soundscapes,” according to a press release from The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The objects will be united by iconography related to nature, which, the museum says, will serve as a metaphor “for the fragility and ephemerality of fashion.”
What time does the 2024 Met Gala red carpet begin?
