Weekly Guide For Latest Trends, Fashion, Relationships, And More To Stay Ahead

The highly anticipated fashion event where celebrities walk the red carpet is only a few hours from happening.

Tonight, a lot of popular musicians, talented artists, renowned fashion designers, well-known actors, and influential celebrities will be gathering at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. They are coming together to celebrate The Costume Institute's upcoming exhibit for spring 2024, which is called "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion".

The upcoming gala is supported by Condé Nast, Loewe, and TikTok. It's expected to showcase a display of lavishness that celebrates nature's beauty through bespoke designs, as well as the preservation of timeless styles. Guests will include Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, and Bad Bunny as the co-chairs of the event. Meanwhile, La La Anthony, Gwendoline Christie, and Ashley Graham will be the red carpet hosts for Vogue, and Emma Chamberlain will be the special correspondent.

The theme for this year celebrates the "sleeping beauties" of fashion, but it's not related to the Disney classic. In the exhibit, there will be 250 items from the Costume Institute's permanent collection on display, with some of them dating back to the Elizabethan era. The focus is to invent different ways to showcase delicate designs, which are not wearable anymore, by using CGI, soundscaping, video animation, and light projections. The textiles will be organized into three categories: land, sea, and sky, which provides a chance to reflect on environmental progress, including the responses of industry players.

Visitors are required to observe a specific dress style called “The Garden of Time,” which is a tribute to JG Ballard’s narrative from 1962. The plot narrates the story of Count Axel, the Countess, and their vanishing garden, as an irate crowd storms into their placid haven and obliterates the exquisite, crystalline flowers that they nurture.

At the moment, it seems likely that we will witness all four leaders, the four organizers, and definitely, Anna Wintour captured on the famous steps. Furthermore, there's hearsay that Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Kendall Jenner, Uma Thurman, Sarah Paulson, Cara Delevingne, and Olivia Rodrigo will make an appearance, as per a Page Six article released on April 13th.

Who'll Be At The Met Gala This Year?

Chris Hemsworth, Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, and Bad Bunny are all set to attend the 2024 Met Gala, along with some notable individuals who will be hosting and sponsoring the event. These esteemed individuals include Loewe's creative director, Jonathan Anderson, and TikTok's CEO, Shou Zi Chew.

A recent report from Page Six on April 13 revealed that Lily Gladstone and Ayo Edebiri are among the fresh faces being invited to attend the Met Gala this year. A source who spoke to the media outlet also disclosed that other notable personalities such as Gisele Bündchen, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Kendall Jenner, Uma Thurman, Cara Delevingne, Sarah Paulson, and Olivia Rodrigo will be attending the grand red carpet event as well. It was further stated that Barry Keoghan has been privileged to receive an invitation two years in a row.

We can expect that Vogue's two red carpet hosts, La La Anthony and Emma Chamberlain, will return again, along with these specific individuals.

Guests' Event Etiquette: What Are The Do's And Don'ts?

Whenever the Met Gala takes place, there are certain expectations that guests must adhere to if they wish to maintain favor with event organizer Anna Wintour. It's surprising to note that some of these guidelines may seem unexpected, especially considering the high-profile celebrities in attendance.

Suppose you attended an extravagant event like the Met Gala. You might assume that taking a few pictures to capture the memorable moments of the occasion would be acceptable. But in 2015, it was discovered that social media usage was prohibited at the event. This decision aimed to discourage renowned individuals from being glued to their phones for a large part of the evening.

Below are four unexpected guidelines that guests are required to adhere to upon their arrival at tonight's Met Gala.

Controversial Met Gala Outfits: Which Ones Caused A Stir?

Vogue has stated that those invited to the event tonight must adhere to the dress code, "The Garden of Time," which is a representation of the story of Count Axel, his countess, and their garden that is slowly disappearing. Therefore, invitees are expected to dress in a way that represents the idea of fleeting beauty and avoid wearing clothing such as princess dresses or pajama sets.

Nevertheless, some people choose not to follow the rules of the dress code. While some may argue that every outfit worn by celebrities at the Met Gala is open to criticism and differing opinions, there have been a few over the past 25 years that have sparked undeniable debate.

These are a few of the Met Gala outfits from previous years that received negative feedback and were unforgettable.

Met Gala Attendance Cost: How Much?

Although there are those who argue that the Met Gala's exclusivity stems from Anna Wintour's required seal of approval, the exorbitant "admission fee" only adds to its restrictiveness.

This year, the New York Times stated that a ticket cost $75,000, and a table cost no less than $350,000. However, in 2023 the price for a single ticket was $25,000 lower.

As per articles published in 2018 and 2019 by the New York Times and the Evening Standard, the price has increased by more than two times. A ticket used to cost just $30,000 in 2018. However, in the following year, the price rose by $5,000.

"Kardashian-Jenners At 2024 Met Gala?"

It's a fact that the Kardashian-Jenner ladies always turn heads when they strut the Met Gala's red carpet. Every year, these sisters from the reality TV world make a big statement on that momentous day. They either get lauded for their fashion sense or get slammed for trying too hard.

In the previous year, only Kim, Kylie, and Kendall came for the first Monday of May. In the year prior to that, all five sisters including their self-proclaimed manager, Kris Jenner, came to the Met Gala, making it the first year when everyone was invited. Fans don't think Khloe and Kourtney will be coming this time, especially since they were absent in 2023. Although Kim and Kylie are typically always present, we can't say for sure if they'll be attending this year.

According to Page Six, Kendall was the lone sister who was present on Monday.

Who's At 2024 Met Gala?

Anna Wintour has finalized her list, confirmed it, and dispatched the invitations, but who among the guests would make an appearance?

Each year, the top decision-maker at Vogue decides which individuals will be given the honor of walking down the red carpet on the inaugural Monday of May, which is considered the most significant event in the fashion industry. Although we all may have our personal preferences, the ultimate decision lies in the hands of the influential British tastemaker.

The annual Met Gala is coming up, and it's expected to have a star-studded guest list. The four co-chairs for this year's event are Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, and Bad Bunny. Joining them will be four hosts, La La Anthony, Ashley Graham, Gwendoline Christie, and Emma Chamberlain. Some famous faces rumored to be attending include Kendall Jenner, Uma Thurman, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Olivia Rodrigo, Sarah Paulson, and Cara Delevingne. They'll be joined by invited guests Barry Keoghan, Lily Gladstone, and Ayo Edebiri. It's sure to be a night of glitz and glamour.

Attendee Attire: What To Expect?

Even though it was predicted at first, famous people and guests are not expected to wear fancy pajamas or Disney princess outfits. The theme of the event, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," should not be interpreted literally. People will be following a dress code referred to as "The Garden of Time," which is based on JG Ballard's 1962 story.

The blog section discusses the idea of using nature as inspiration for celebrity fashion, particularly in relation to the concept of everlasting beauty. Various natural elements, such as flowers and plants, are expected to feature prominently in designer outfits worn on the red carpet. For example, Loewe has created a coat adorned with grass sprouts while Simone Rocha's chiffon dress features pink roses with stems. These pieces aim to capture the delicate essence of nature and convey a sense of the passing of time.

What's The 2024 Met Gala's Theme?

The Met Gala set for May 6, 2024, will showcase a theme that revives past forms by presenting them in modern digital formats. Additionally, there's a possibility that there will be an abundance of flowers as they embrace a dress code representing "The Garden of Time."

The exhibition titled "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" will showcase 250 items from The Costume Institute's collection. The curator, Andrew Bolton, who serves as the Wendy Yu Curator, mentioned that Charles Frederick Worth's 1877 silk satin outfit brimmed him with inspiration. As a result, 50 styles became the focal point of the exhibit, all of them considered as the "sleeping beauties" due to their fragility that makes them unsuitable for wear. The design elements like the textiles and fabrics are distributed into three zones that align with the environment, namely land, sea, and sky.

"Zendaya's Met Gala Dress Yet To Be Made, Says Stylist"

Zendaya's outfit for the Met Gala is running late.

Reportedly, the apparel of the 2024 co-chair is yet to be manufactured. Although a lot of celebrities arrange for their last garment adjustments two days before the principal happening, the wardrobe coordinator of the Euphoria star, Law Roach, stated that they haven't laid eyes on her attire as of the moment.

"I haven't laid eyes on Zendaya's gown yet! We've been busy with two promotional tours - one for Dune 2 and the other for Challengers - and we're also featured on two different Vogue covers," Roach shared with The New York Times. "As a matter of fact, the dress has yet to be created. We won't even begin the fitting process until Saturday."
