Fashion’s most-anticipated red carpet event is officially underway.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City will be filled this evening by beloved musicians, transformative artists, emblem designers, famed actors, and celebrity influencers to celebrate The Costume Institute’s spring 2024 exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”. The co-chairs for the evening include Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, and Bad Bunny, while Vogue’s red-carpet hosts will be La La Anthony, Gwendoline Christie, and Ashley Graham, alongside special correspondent Emma Chamberlain.
This year’s theme is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” – which is not a reference the Disney fairytale. Inside the exhibit, 250 pieces from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection will be showcased, some dating back to the Elizabethan period. The idea is to reimagine fragile designs that can never be worn again in new ways through CGI, light projections, soundscaping, and video animation.
Guests will follow a dress code of “The Garden of Time,” a nod to JG Ballard’s 1962 tale. The story details Count Axel, his Countess, and their dwindling garden as an angry mob descends on their peaceful home and nursery of crystalline flowers.
Along with all four co-chairs and the event’s organiser Anna Wintour, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Kendall Jenner, Uma Thurman, Sarah Paulson, Cara Delevingne, and Olivia Rodrigo are expected to be at tonight’s Met Gala, according to a 13 April Page Six report.
The broadcast of the 2024 Met Gala red carpet begins at 6pm ET, with the event streaming on Vogue’s TikTok and YouTube account.

Jennifer Lopez says being a co-chair ‘isn’t bad’
Jennifer Lopez is a Met Gala veteran.
This is the singer’s 14th time walking the Met steps for the annual event. Lopez honoured her role as co-chair in a sparkly Schiaparelli piece that took about 800 hours to make.
When asked whether the task of being co-chair was daunting, Lopez said: “It’s not that bad.”
Apparently, the role requires a “nice dinner” with Anna Wintour the night before and some simple greetings inside the gala.

All four co-chairs arrive on the Met Gala red carpet
The “Queen of the Met Gala,” Anna Wintour, arrived on the red carpet, and all four of her co-chairs have too.
Bad Bunny got the early memo, donning a full Maison Margiela look with the designer’s emblem Tabi hoof shoes. The artist’s full inside-out suit is seemingly a reference to “The Garden of Time” dress code, mimicking JG Ballard’s story character, Count Axel.
Chris Hemsworth played it safe in an ivory suit. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez and Zendaya pulled out all the extravagant stops. Lopez stepped out in a dazzling silver, see-through gown that resembled the intricate detailing of a bird’s wings.
Zendaya looked mystical in a green and blue-hued gown and netted beret. She detailed the look with faux grape vines at the hip.
