The Met Gala 2024 Dress Code
The Met Gala 2024 invites its guests to step into “The Garden of Time,” a dress code that mirrors this year’s thought-provoking exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” Set to unfold on Monday, May 6, the event will be hosted by a distinguished group including Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, and Vogue’s own Anna Wintour at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This year’s exhibition isn’t about fairy tales or animated classics but focuses on the ephemeral nature of haute couture. It showcases garments so delicate and exquisite that they cannot withstand repeated wear, symbolically sleeping in the archives of the Costume Institute. Andrew Bolton, the curator, plays a pivotal role, much like a prince awakening these dormant beauties, presenting them anew to the world.
The exhibition spans across several centuries, featuring items as ancient as a 17th-century Elizabethan-era bodice, demonstrating the transient beauty and eventual decay of the natural world. These historical pieces will be accompanied by more modern yet similarly themed garments under three sub-themes: Land, Sea, and Sky, each exploring different aspects of nature’s influence on fashion.
To fully appreciate the “The Garden of Time” dress code, it’s essential to know about its literary inspiration—a 1962 short story by J.G. Ballard, who is renowned for his vivid storytelling, as seen in his novel “The Empire of the Sun.” This narrative theme for the evening encourages a reflection on time, nature, and the impermanence of beauty, setting the stage for an evening of unparalleled elegance and conceptual depth at the Met Gala 2024.
