Met Gala 2024 - date, red carpet, event theme

When and where will the Met Gala 2024 take place?

The event is scheduled for May 6 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. First there will be a red carpet, and then a selection dinner.

By the way, the date of the event usually remains one of the little known: it has been held every first Monday in May since 2005, and, with the exception of 2020 due to the pandemic (when it was canceled and postponed to September 2021), all events took place on this day.

What is the theme of the Met Gala 2024?

This time, the most significant fashion event will not be focused on one designer, as it was in previous years.

In 2024, an exhibition called Sleeping Beauties: The Revival of Fashion will examine sustainability through a unique lens. “It’s basically an ode to nature,” said Andrew Bolton, chief curator of the Costume Institute and the main proponent of the concept.

Yes, this means that we will see many designs that are directly inspired by the beauty of the plant and animal world.

An example is the reference to butterflies, which appear in both Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2011 collection and Charles James’ Architectural Couture Fashion, presented in 1955.

The exhibition’s storyline will span 400 years of history, from the 17th century to the museum’s recent acquisitions from designers such as Philip Lim, Connor Eve and Stella McCartney.
