The fashion world’s biggest night has arrived! On Monday evening, celebrities from around the globe gathered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the MET Gala, and they were dressed to impress.
The Met Gala theme
This year’s exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” explores the fusion of technology and fashion, showing how technology can bring old and delicate garments back to life.
The glamorous night saw celebrities posing on the museum’s iconic steps, all adhering to this year’s dress code: “The Garden of Time.” Inspired by a J.G. Ballard’s story about manipulating time with roses, the theme promised a red carpet adorned with bold florals, techno-inspired fashion, and maybe even a nod to Sleeping Beauty.
From archival couture to custom-made designs, the looks showcased a theme of fairytale-like eternal beauty, incorporating natural flora and fauna motifs.
This year’s gala was co-chaired by stars like Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, and Zendaya, alongside Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour. Among the attendees were Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Cardi B, Usher, Ariana Grande, Sarah Jessica Parker, Andy Cohen, Dua Lipa, and Emma Chamberlain.
What is the purpose of the Met Gala?
The MET Gala raises funds for the Costume Institute, also known as the Fashion Department, of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The proceeds from ticket sales support the institute’s exhibitions, acquisitions, educational programs, and conservation efforts, preserving fashion history and promoting research and scholarship in the field.
But the MET Gala is more than just a glamorous event. It’s a powerful inspiration for young people in fashion. It showcases creativity, innovation, and individuality, encouraging young designers to push boundaries and experiment with new styles. Seeing their favorite celebrities don avant-garde outfits ignites the imagination of young fashion enthusiasts, inspiring them to express themselves boldly. Through extensive media coverage, the gala spreads fashion trends and ideas globally, inspiring the next generation of fashion leaders to express themselves authentically.
