The 2024 MET Gala is coming up real soon, on May 6th, 2024 and is celebrating the opening of the Costume Institute's newest exhibit titled "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion". Well as per usual, this is a fleshed out ewxploration of what the theme of the exhibit and the dress code for the evening titled "The Garden of Time" means and how it will inform what celebrities wear on the carpet! "The Garden of Time" takes inspiration from a J.G. Ballard short story, and ties into the importance of textile and fashion conservation, and how fashion can sometimes really be all about "fleeting beauty". With cohosts like Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, Bad Bunny, and Jennifer Lopez, there is a lot to expect, but this dress code also speaks to how vintage, archival, and secondhand clothing have become not just a trend but everyday parts of many of our lives, but how some things like Marilyn Monroe's famous "Naked Dress" by Jean Louis is too precious to wear for events like these, and that celebrities like Kim Kardashian should know better!
