Fashion Meets Art as Stars Celebrate and Slay ‘The Garden of Time’ Theme at the 2024 Met Gala

Every first Monday of May, a star-studded event takes place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. A slew of Hollywood’s biggest A-listers from the brightest music and film stars to models, cultural icons, and fashion designers gather for the Met Gala to celebrate the latest exhibition by the Costume Institute. This has been the tradition since the event’s inception in 1948. Annually, the event raises millions of dollars in revenue for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.

For this event, stars are dressed by designers according to a theme tied to that year’s exhibition at the Costume Institute. The dress code for this year is “The Garden of Time,” referencing the 1962 short story by British author J.G. Ballard, which takes place in a garden filled with time-bending florals.

This year’s event is co-chaired by Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, Zendaya, and Bad Bunny.

The dress code accompanies The Costume Institute’s spring 2024 exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” which will run at the Metropolitan Museum of Art from May 10 through September 2. The exhibition will reactivate the sensory capacities of masterworks in the Museum’s collection.

“Fashion is one of the most emotional artistic forms because of its connection to the body. It is imbued with memory and emotions, and we relate to it very much via our senses. One thing I hope this show will activate is that sensorial appreciation of fashion.” Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, explained.
