The first Monday of May is on the horizon, which means the Met Gala 2024, the biggest red carpet of the year, is almost here. As A-listers across fashion and entertainment work their way up the steps of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, casual fans can follow along online—playing fashion critic for the night in their finest comfy clothes, just as God intended.
The theme for this year's benefit, which fundraises for The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, is "The Garden of Time." Inspired by the Costume Institute's Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion exhibition, the dress code calls for expressions of "fleeting beauty," so expect looks that take inspiration from historical pieces that have been forgotten over time, plenty of "melancholic florals," and hopefully some appearances by eco-conscious designers.
