As previously reported this year’s gala is celebrating the Costume Institute’s new exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” and the dress code is “Garden Of Time” playing off a short story by JG Ballard.
In the 1962 story, freshly plucked time-reversing crystal flowers protect paradise from invasion until there are none left, and Anna Wintour chose the theme to “highlight the connections between nature’s fragile beauty and inevitable innovation.”
Vogue shared that watchers should expect to see iconic archive looks refreshed with the latest tech as the exhibit features nearly 300 rare items drawn from the Met’s permanent collection including designs by Schiaparelli, Dior, and Givenchy.
This year’s Met Gala co-chairs are Chris Hemsworth, Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, and Bad Bunny with live stream co-hosting by La La Anthony.
