2024 Met Gala: See All the Biggest Moments Including Zendaya, Cardi B and Kim Kardashian

The theme for this year's gala is 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.'

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibition theme -- curated and organized by The Costume Institute -- will feature 250 items from its permanent collection displayed in a new, innovative way. Max Hollein, CEO of The Met, said in a statement that the "innovative" exhibition -- and the accompanying star-studded annual fundraising gala-- will "push the boundaries of our imagination and invite us to experience the multisensory facets of a garment." According to the announcement, the exhibition will include garments that span over 400 years, and will be "visually united by iconography related to nature, which will serve as a metaphor for the fragility and ephemerality of fashion."
