Held annually, the Met Gala 2024 is a global phenomenon synonomous with the First Monday in May.
An annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, the Met Gala has made the carpet established on the steps of the museum a global must-see fashion event.
Drawing its inspiration from this year’s exhibition “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” and a reference to J.G. Ballard’s short story of the same name, the theme was “The Garden of Time”.
