The Met Gala 2024

Tuesday, May 07, 2024 by Opullent

The 2024 Met Gala took place last night, on Monday, May 6, in New York City at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It celebrated the Costume Institute’s new exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” The official dress code was “The Garden of Time.” Inspired by J.G. Ballard's short story of the same title, written in 1962 and it was interpreted in a myriad of ways. The Met Gala is a charity event and fundraiser for The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. It has traditionally been timed to mark the opening of its annual fashion exhibition. 

The 2024 Costume Institute exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art featured approximately 250 items drawn from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection, many of which have rarely been seen in public before.

Spanning over 400 years of fashion history, the pieces included designs by Schiaparelli, Dior, Givenchy, and more. Some garments that are too fragile to ever be worn again—such as a Charles Frederick Worth ball gown from 1877—was also be displayed via video animation, light projection, AI, CGI, and other forms of sensory stimulation.
