THE MET GALA

Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, Anna Wintour, and Zendaya are set to co-chair The Met’s Spring 2024 Costume Institute Benefit, to be held on May 6 in New York. The evening, famously known as The Met Gala®, marks the opening of The Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion. With a dress code themed as “The Garden of Time,” the event serves as a vital fundraiser for The Costume Institute’s annual exhibitions, publications, acquisitions, operations, and capital improvements. This year’s exhibition will activate sensory experiences through diverse technologies and traditional formats, showcasing approximately 250 objects united by iconography related to nature. Under the leadership of Met Trustee Anna Wintour, the Benefit has raised over $223.5 million for The Costume Institute, home to over 33,000 objects spanning seven centuries of fashionable dress and accessories.
