2024 Met Gala: How to Watch the Biggest Stars and Best Looks at This Year’s Event (Live Updates)
Written by Rtradio on May 6, 2024
The 2024 Met Gala is here — and the biggest stars turned out their best looks to celebrate!
The annual event — hosted by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour — is always held on the first Monday of May, and attended by a host of A-list celebrities like Zendaya, Blake Lively, the Kardashian-Jenner family and many more stars who turn out for fashion’s biggest night.
This year’s theme — “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” — is a nod to fashion history. The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibition theme — curated and organized by The Costume Institute — will feature 250 items from its permanent collection displayed in a new, innovative way.
When/Where is the Met Gala held?
The Met Gala takes place (almost) every year on the first Monday in May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The red carpet begins at 6 p.m. ET and runs until the final star (historically, Rihanna) arrives.
What is the theme of this year’s Met Gala?
This year’s Met Gala theme is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” Max Hollein, CEO of The Met, said in a statement that the “innovative” exhibition — and the accompanying star-studded annual fundraising gala — will “push the boundaries of our imagination and invite us to experience the multisensory facets of a garment.”
According to the announcement, the exhibition will include garments that span over 400 years, and will be “visually united by iconography related to nature, which will serve as a metaphor for the fragility and ephemerality of fashion.”
