Get ready for the most glamorous night in fashion as the 2024 Met Gala approaches with a theme that is sure to captivate attendees and fashion enthusiasts alike. The theme for this year’s Met Gala is inspired by the classic fable, ‘Sleeping Beauty,’ and is centered around the latest exhibition by the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, titled ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.’

The exhibition, curated by Andrew Bolton, aims to breathe new life into historical garments and contemporary fashions by utilizing a diverse range of technologies to reanimate their sensory capacities. Through this immersive experience, visitors will have the opportunity to engage with rare historical garments and contemporary fashions in a unique and vibrant way.

Accompanying the theme is a dress code called ‘The Garden of Time,’ which is expected to inspire guests to interpret their outfits creatively, resulting in unforgettable red carpet moments. The Met Gala’s dress code has historically been a loose guideline, allowing attendees to showcase their individual style and creativity.

The 2024 Met Gala will celebrate the exhibition ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,’ which features approximately 250 garments from the Costume Institute’s extensive collection of 33,000 pieces. Some of these garments are rarely displayed due to their fragility, with many being too delicate to be hung and instead showcased in glass cases, reminiscent of the slumbering Sleeping Beauty.

As fashion enthusiasts eagerly anticipate this year’s Met Gala, the theme promises to offer a unique and immersive experience that celebrates the artistry and history of fashion in a captivating way. Stay tuned for the most enchanting red carpet looks and memorable moments from the 2024 Met Gala.
