Taking place in New York City on May 6, The Costume Institute’s spring exhibition will be curated by Vogue’s Anna Wintour, Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny, Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth, and Latina powerhouse Jennifer Lopez. Just like in previous years, co-chairs have multiple duties, including setting the tone for the celebration, including the dress code, guest list, and decor, among other things. “Honorary chairs for the evening are Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew,” a new statement details.

The 2024 Met Gala will have ‘The Garden of Time’ as the description for the dress code. This marks JLo’s 13th time at the exclusive event, Bad Bunny’s 3rd time, and Zendaya’s 5th time. Vogue noted that the inspiration for the dress code comes from a short story of the same name written by JG Ballard in 1962, which was adapted into a film by Steven Spielberg; ‘The Empire of the Sun.’

Vogue also detailed that the dress code has “nothing to do with the Brothers Grimm or Disney, but is rather a celebration of clothing and fashion so fragile that it can’t ever be worn again – and are therefore sleeping beauties in the scrupulously maintained archives of The Costume Institute.”

“Per the Metropolitan Museum of Art, we can expect to see a range of fashion on display, dating back as far as a 17th-century Elizabethan-era English bodice, that embodies the beauty of the natural world – its fragility and its inevitable decay. 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,“ the publication shared.
