Met Gala 2024:
Get ready to witness the dazzling spectacle as stars from film, fashion, music, sports, politics, and social media gather at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6th. It's a night where rubbing shoulders with celebrities is as common as sipping cocktails and exploring the latest exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” As we gear up for this Met Gala 2024 event, here's everything you need to know:
What's the Met Gala All About?
Originally a midnight supper event in 1948, the Met Gala has evolved into one of the world's most iconic gatherings, now held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Beyond the glitz and glamour, it serves a noble purpose—raising funds for the Met’s Costume Institute and unveiling the annual spring exhibit that draws crowds from around the globe.
Who's Hosting This Year?
Jennifer Lopez, the multitalented superstar, joins the ranks of hosts alongside Bad Bunny, known for his chart-topping hits. Also gracing the stage are Zendaya and Chris Hemsworth, both familiar faces from the world of Marvel.
Deciphering the Theme:
This year's theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” might evoke fairytales, but it's all about showcasing garments from the Costume Institute's archive that are making a comeback. Expect to see attire inspired by the theme “The Garden of Time,” although interpretations can vary widely.
How Much Does It Cost to Attend?
If you're wondering about ticket prices, think again. The Met Gala operates on an invite-only basis, with tables typically bought by companies rather than individuals. Past prices for a single ticket have soared to $50,000, while a table could set you back $300,000 or more.
Where to Catch the Action:
Can't snag an invite? Don't worry, you can catch all the excitement via Vogue's live stream. If you're in New York City, head to Fifth Avenue or Madison Avenue to catch a glimpse of the stars as they arrive.
What Happens Inside?
Once inside the Met, guests are greeted by elaborate floral arrangements and the sweet strains of an orchestra. The evening kicks off with cocktails around 6 pm, followed by dinner. Keep an eye out for those who arrive fashionably late—they often steal the show.
As the Met Gala approaches, anticipation mounts for what promises to be a night of glitz, glamour, and unforgettable fashion moments.
