MET Gala 2024: Next Monday, May 6, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City will host another edition of the MET Gala, one of the biggest nights in the fashion industry.
This year’s Met Gala will honor the Costume Institute’s new exhibition, ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,’ which opens on 10 May, and its official dress code is ‘The Garden of Time.
A garden of flowers is the theme of a 1962 short story by J.G. Ballard.
In honor of the late German designer, last year’s dress code was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.”
MET Gala tickets for 2023 will cost around $35,000 each, according to Harpers Bazaar, making it one of the most coveted events.
Guests must also adhere to a set of strict ‘house rules’ once they enter the museum.
Met Gala’s regulations
Cell phones are prohibited according to The Mirror, one of the strangest rules.
While invited celebrities are prohibited from taking selfies and browsing social networks for the purposes of “being present at the event,” this rule has been broken on several occasions, such as Kylie Jenner’s famous bathroom selfie in 2017.
The gala is not open to anyone under 18 years of age, regardless of their success in the entertainment, fashion, or showbiz industries.
The MET, according to a spokesperson, is not suitable for young people.
In 2017, several celebrities, including Bella Hadid, Dakota Johnson, and Marc Jacobs, ignored the rule against smoking inside the event.
Board members and donors noted that smoking in the museum was “disrespectful to the art collection” and reiterated the rule in the following year’s invitations.
Dinner follows the red carpet and the attendees enter the museum.
According to the New York Post, celebrities are not free to order whatever they want as they must follow a special menu in which certain foods are left out at Wintour’s request.
