The countdown to the MET Gala 2024 has begun, and anticipation is mounting for what is undoubtedly one of the most opulent and eagerly awaited events in the fashion calendar, set in the heart of the city that never sleeps. The previous gala left us in awe with tributes to Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, celebrating the German designer’s influential career spanning from 1955 to 2019, with celebrities donning outfits that traced his remarkable journey in fashion.
The MET Gala, beyond the glitz, is a charitable soirée that marries the finest of fashion, art, and philanthropy. Proceeds from this glamorous night benefit the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. As such, guests are not only treated to an extraordinary display of fashion but also contribute to a noble cause.

As tradition holds, the MET Gala will take place on the first Monday in May, specifically May 6, 2024. This date is carefully selected to align with the opening of the Costume Institute’s yearly exhibition and to accommodate the schedules of designers and celebrities, perpetuating a long-standing American fashion tradition.
The venue, as always, is the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The festivities commence with the unveiling of the Costume Institute’s exhibition, followed by a lavish gala dinner where the year’s finest couture is showcased. The museum’s Great Hall is expected to undergo another stunning transformation to match the night’s grandeur.
The theme for 2024 has been announced as “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” hinting at a showcase that will breathe new life into fashion’s rich history. This theme will set the stage for the Costume Institute’s annual exhibition.
For those eager to witness the grandeur of the MET Gala 2024, Vogue offers a live broadcast accessible from their official platforms or our website, allowing viewers worldwide to tune in to the festivities.
While the hosts for the 2024 Gala remain under wraps, they are typically revealed post-theme announcement and are chosen for their alignment with the gala’s narrative. While 2023 saw the likes of Dua Lipa, Penelope Cruz, Roger Federer, and Michaela Coel as co-chairs, the hosts for 2024 are yet to be announced. One constant, however, is the presence of Anna Wintour, who will undoubtedly continue her role as a co-chair.
Stay tuned as we await the revelation of hosts and prepare to be captivated by the MET Gala 2024, promising a night of fashion renaissance and philanthropic splendor.
