NEW YORK, NEW YORK: Don\u2019t sleep on this announcement. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced the theme for the Costume Institute\u2019s annual Spring exhibition, the sartorial showcase that serves as the theme for the Met Gala. <\/span><\/p>\n

Come the first Monday in May, the Met\u2019s famous staircases will play host to legions of A-listers all gathering for the exclusive opening of \u201cSleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”. <\/span><\/p>\n

Curated by Andrew Bolton, the Wendy Yu curator responsible for The Costume Institute, the exhibition will explore 250 pieces from the Costume Institute\u2019s permanent collection. Some of which have never been displayed to the public before. <\/span>The exhibition is poised to bring forth the \u201csensory elements of fashion masterworks\u201d in what is described as \u201can entirely new way\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rumblings in Manhattan have already begun ruminating on the potential dress code guests will be asked to adhere to, yet no official announcement has been made on that front. Ahead of the 2024 Met Gala, reacquaint yourself with the official Met Gala proceedings and uncover the meaning behind the theme below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the theme of the 2024 Met Gala?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Come May 2024, The Met will hold the Spring exhibition themed \u201cSleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion\u201d. This concept will serve as the theme of the 2024 Met Gala, an annual beneficiary ball held to raise funds for The Met\u2019s Costume Institute.<\/p>\n

Max Hollein, The Met\u2019s Marina Kellen French Director and CEO described that \u201cSleeping Beauties\u201d will \u201cpush the boundaries of our imagination and invite us to experience the multisensory facets of a garment\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cSleeping Beauties\u2019 will heighten our engagement with these masterpieces of fashion by evoking how they feel, move, sound, smell, and interact when being worn, ultimately offering a deeper appreciation of the integrity, beauty, and artistic brilliance of the works on display,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Bolton added that the exhibition will be formatted around three distinct zones; land, sea and sky. These tentpoles will group the expertly crafted works per their assimilation with facets of the natural world. \u201cIt is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,\u201d Bolton noted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Pieces Will Be On Display At The 2024 Met Gala?<\/b><\/h3>\n

As per reports<\/a>, the exhibition will centre on \u201c15 historically significant and aesthetically beautiful pieces from the collection that are far too fragile ever to be worn again.\u201d The exhibition will span 400 years of artistry, featuring iconic works from Schiaparelli<\/a>, Dior<\/a>, Alexander McQueen<\/a>, Stella McCartney<\/a> and Conner Ives.<\/p>\n

A glimpse of the exhibition confirms that Monsieur Dior\u2019s breathtaking Venus and Junon ball gowns from the late couturier’s Fall 1949 collection will be included in the collection. An exact replica of the latter was worn by Natalie Portman<\/a> at the premiere of May December<\/em><\/a> at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

LVMH-owned Spanish luxuriate, LOEWE<\/a>, will also prominently feature, with the Costume Institute confirming the label has provided support for the exhibition. Gen-Z social media app TikTok is the primary sponsor of the exhibition and gala, meaning that a bigger emphasis will be placed on short-form video content and younger content creators for the star-studded soir\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

What Is The Dress Code Of The 2024 Met Gala?<\/h3>\n

The dress code of the 2024 Met Gala is yet to be revealed. As in previous years, the dress code will relate to the exhibition theme. For instance, the theme of the 2023 exhibition<\/a> was \u201cKarl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty\u201d, with guests asked to dress \u201cIn honour of Karl\u201d.<\/a><\/p>\n

Given the focus on aesthetically relevant and historically significant garments, we can expect maisons to be delving into their archives to recreate pieces that adhere to that brief. After the palaver of Kim Kardashian<\/a> wearing\u2014and subsequently damaging<\/a>\u2014Marilyn Monroe\u2019s 1962 Bob Mackie<\/a> dress at the 2022 Met Gala, it\u2019s assumed that guests will be deterred from borrowing any heritage gowns.<\/p>\n

Who Are The Co-Chairs Of The 2024 Met Gala?<\/h3>\n

With the announcement of the Costume Institute’s exhibition theme, no subsequent news has been released about the Met Gala\u2019s co-hosts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Previously, co-hosts have included Dua Lipa<\/a>, Penelope Cruz, Harry Styles<\/a>, Billie Eilish, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a> and Blake Lively<\/a>, meaning that any fashionable personality across the arts, entertainment and culture could be eligible for the role.<\/p>\n

Who Will Attend The 2024 Met Gala?<\/h3>\n

There is no news on the 2024 Me Gala guest list. Given TikTok\u2019s sponsorship of the event, we can expect a younger crowd will be invited to sit at their table. Previously, TikTok star Addison Rae attended the 2021 and 2022 Met Galas.<\/p>\n

Other social media stars including Emma Chamberlain<\/a> and Dixie D\u2019Amelio have also become mainstays at the event. While the 2023 Met Gala was noticeably lacking internet personalities, it\u2019s clear TikTok\u2019s patronage will quell this short-lived hiatus.<\/p>\n
