When is the Met Gala?
The 2024 Met Gala will take place May 6. The exhibit will be open to the public from May 10 to Sept. 2, 2024.

Celebrities such as Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Cardi B, Serena Williams, Usher, Jared Leto and Doja Cat walked the red carpet.
What is the Met Gala 2024 dress code?
This year's dress code is "The Garden of Time."
"More modern, less delicate pieces imbued with the same spirit as the spotlit fashions will be showcased alongside them, and broken up into three sub-themes: Land, Sea, and Sky," Vogue wrote.
"Think melancholic florals (as moody florals aren’t moody enough)." the magazine also said.
Met Gala 2024 theme
This year's dress code will align with the previously revealed theme, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."
The "sleeping beauties" is not inspired by Disney princess, but instead, treasured garments in the museum’s collection that are so fragile that they need to be housed in special glass "coffins" rather than on mannequins, curators said. Garments are slated to be showcased in a series of galleries organized by the themes of nature.
