This gala is a special event to raise money for the Costume Institute at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. It’s also called The Anna Wintour Costume Center, named after the editor-in-chief of American Vogue. She’s been involved with the gala since 1995.
In 1948, a lady named Eleanor Lambert started it to ask rich people in New York to give money.
What Was This Year’s Theme?
In 2024, the Met Gala had a theme called ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’. The official dress code was ‘The Garden of Time’. The exhibition aimed to recreate the feelings of the museum’s important artworks using research, discussion, and technology.
The exhibit showed about 250 very special things from the Costume Institute’s collection that they keep forever. These things covered fashion history for over 400 years. They had clothes made by famous designers like Schiaparelli, Dior, Givenchy, and others.

Every year, the Met Gala has special chair members, besides Ana Wintour. Back in 1995, the first designers to co-chair the event were Karl Lagerfeld and Gianni Versace. Since then, many designers, fashion experts, and even famous people have been part of it. For example, Caroline, Princess of Hanover, was a chair in 2005, Beyonce in 2013, and last year, Penelope Cruz, Dua Lipa, Michaela Coel, and Roger Federer co-chaired the event.
This year, Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, and Zendaya were the hosts for the event.
