What is the Met Gala?
The Met Gala is an annual charity fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Led by Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, the benefit takes place in New York City, but designers and celebrities from all over the world fly in to attend. The attendees create and wear elaborate designs dedicated to the special theme of the new display in the museum, selected by Wintour herself.
What is the Met Gala 2024 theme?
The Met Gala 2024 theme is Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion. According to the Met's press release, the new exhibition will focus on using research, conversation, and technology to replicate the sensations of the museum's major pieces. The aim is "breathing new life into these storied objects through creative and immersible activations designed to convey the smells, sounds, textures, and motions of garments that can no longer directly interact with the body." To honour that, this year's show “will explore notions of rebirth and renewal, using nature as a metaphor for the impermanence of fashion.”
