Met Gala 2024 is planned for May 6th at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. The theme of the year, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, and a dress code, The Garden of Time, get designers and other fashion lovers excited. The event will focus on time in terms of reawakening, and the attendees will explore its intersections with fashion.
The theme of time focuses on 400 years, from ancient to contemporary times. The exhibition themes include Land, Sea, and Sky, focusing on the natural, among other things. Due to the vulnerabilities of some garments, they will be projected and reimagined through AI and CGI.
The Met Gala will be held a month from today.

However, despite what one might think, the concept of “Sleeping Beauties” is not directly associated with the Sleeping Beauty Disney princess Aurora. Still, it reflects the delicate and precious nature of these garments. The concept suggests that each piece encapsulates a story that must be awakened and cherished.
The 2024 Met Gala’s co-chairs are Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, and Zendaya. Now we have to watch the stars come down the red carpet on their interpretation of the 2024 Met Gala’s whimsical costume theme.
Indeed, curator Andrew Bolton suggests that garments be brought to life with the help of the senses – not only sight but also smell and sound. Conservation of these fragile pieces is a special case and calls for unique measures.
The Met Gala and the established fashion history are essential for the fashion world. The Garden of Time is ready for when the day comes when the history of fashion will flourish again. 🌸✨
