The biggest night of fashion approaches, the Met Gala 2024. Costumes undergo fit checks as the grandeur of fashion prepares to grace the red carpet. Each year, the Met Gala stands as the pinnacle of fashion, bringing together pioneers, celebrities, and models for the annual fundraiser. Also known as the Met Ball, this year’s event is scheduled for May 6.

The Met Gala returns with all its grandeur, celebrating 400 years of fashion evolution this time.

This highly anticipated mega-fashion event draws attention as fans eagerly await their favorite stars’ appearances. With each year boasting a unique theme, attendees are given freedom to interpret while maintaining its essence. Held in New York, this glamorous night immortalizes fashion history with A-listers donning extravagant outfits, setting trends, and sparking conversations.

This year’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” sets the stage for attire fitting the theme of ‘Garden of Time.’

THEME AND DRESS CODE FOR MET GALA 2024

The theme, celebrating 400 years of fashion evolution, inspires A-listers to revive ancient garments and customize interpretations for the world’s gaze.

Vogue reports that the Metropolitan Museum of Art will display nearly 250 items spanning 400 years of fashion history, featuring designs by Schiaparelli, Dior, Givenchy, and others, including fragile garments like a Charles Frederick Worth ball gown from 1877, showcased through various sensory forms such as video animation, light projection, AI, CGI, and more.

THE MET GALA THEME IS INSPIRED BY A BOOK

This year’s Met Gala theme draws from J.G. Ballard’s book, ‘The Garden of Time,’ published in 1962. Ballard, an English novelist, satirist, and essayist, was known for his provocative works.

The story explores dystopian modernity, depicting Count Axel and his wife amidst opulence juxtaposed with barren landscapes. Count Axel’s act of plucking flowers reverses time, symbolizing the eternal cycle of creation and destruction, echoed in The Met’s Sleeping Beauties exhibition.

Is Zendaya Bringing Tom Holland as her Date to the Met Gala 2024?

It’s been quite some time since Zendaya and Tom Holland dazzled on a red carpet together, prompting speculation about their appearance at the Met Gala 2024.

While Tom Holland supports Zendaya during press tours, they rarely appear on the red carpet together, except for Spider-Man promotions. Met Gala co-chairs can bring a plus one; for example, Blake Lively brought Ryan Reynolds in 2022. If Holland’s schedule allows, he may accompany Zendaya.
