Brace yourself for the pinnacle of glamour and style as the Met Gala 2024 prepares to dazzle with its theme, star hosts, exclusive guest list, and more. Here’s everything you need to know about this highly anticipated event.
On the illustrious first Monday of May, stars from film, fashion, music, sports, politics, and social media will ascend the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to partake in the Met Gala 2024. Set for May 6, this extravagant affair promises an evening of cocktails, dinner, and an exclusive preview of the museum’s newest exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” With tickets priced at a staggering USD 50,000 per person, the event will be hosted by none other than Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, Bad Bunny, and Jennifer Lopez.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE MET GALA?
Originating as a society midnight supper in 1948, the Met Gala has evolved into one of the most photographed events globally, attracting luminaries from all spheres of influence. While it serves as a platform for high fashion and extravagant displays, the gala also raises funds for the Met’s Costume Institute, with last year’s contributions reaching a record-breaking $22 million.
WHO’S HOSTING THIS YEAR?
Leading the charge as hosts for Met Gala 2024 are the dynamic quartet of Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, and Chris Hemsworth, alongside the indomitable Anna Wintour herself.
WHAT IS THE THEME OF THE MET GALA?
This year’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” mirrors the title of the accompanying exhibit, showcasing timeless garments from the Costume Institute’s collection. Curated by Andrew Bolton, the exhibit features 250 pieces spanning four centuries, with a dress code aptly named “The Garden of Time.”
WHICH CELEBRITIES ARE ATTENDING?
Anticipation mounts as celebrity attendees prepare to grace the Met Gala red carpet. Rihanna, known for her dramatic entrances, is set to attend alongside partner A$AP Rocky. Other high-profile figures, including Lily Gladstone, Ayo Edebiri, and Gisele Bundchen, are poised to make their mark on the prestigious event.
HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR A TICKET?
For those fortunate enough to secure an invite, the cost of attendance is not trivial. Tables start at $350,000 for a party of ten, while individual tickets reportedly fetch $50,000 each, subject to prior approval.
HOW TO WATCH?
Catch all the glamour and excitement of the Met Gala 2024 via Vogue’s livestream. Alternatively, spectators can gather along Fifth Avenue or Madison to catch a glimpse of the festivities. The AP will also provide a livestream of guest departures from the Mark Hotel.
WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE?
Upon entering the museum, guests are treated to cocktails amidst opulent surroundings before proceeding to view the exhibit. Cocktails commence at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner, with the most notable attendees often making grand entrances later in the evening.
WHAT WERE SOME OF THE PAST THEMES?
Previous themes such as ‘Camp’ and ‘Heavenly Bodies’ have set the stage for extravagant displays of creativity and haute couture, leaving attendees and enthusiasts alike eagerly anticipating each year’s theme unveiling.
