It’s the first Monday in May, which means fashion and pop culture enthusiasts will come together to enjoy another Met Gala.
Bad Bunny and Jennifer Lopez will serve as co-chairs of the 2024 Met Gala on Monday (May 6) as will Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth and, as usual, Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
This year’s theme, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, is set to feature 250 items from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection, according to an Instagram post announcing the theme back in November. “From a 17th century English Elizabethan-era bodice and Christian Dior’s famous Junon and Venus ballgowns, to 21st century acquisitions by designers including Phillip Lim, Stella McCartney, and Conner Ives, the core exhibit will span 400 years of history,” the caption reads.

According to Vogue, the works will be displayed at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in new ways, including elements such as video animation, CGI, AI and more.
Additionally, the event’s dress code is “The Garden of Time,” inspired by a 1962 J.G. Ballard short story of the same name.
