The theme has been announced for this year’s Met Gala according to the press release from The Met. If you’re not familiar with the event let me catch you up:
The Met Gala, short for the Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala, is a high-profile fundraising event and fashion exhibition held in New York City annually. It’s often referred to as the “Oscars of the fashion world.” Celebrities, designers, and influential figures from various industries gather to showcase extravagant and often avant-garde fashion on the red carpet.
Each year, the gala has a specific theme, and attendees dress accordingly. The event serves as a platform to raise money for the museum’s Costume Institute and to celebrate the opening of its annual fashion exhibit. It’s known for its over-the-top outfits, celebrity guest list, and the creative interpretations of the theme by attendees.
This year’s Met Gala Theme is Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, on May 6th 2024 at The Metropolitan Museum in New York, City
