Met Gala is one of the biggest fashion extravaganzas in the year, and rightfully so. Hosted in the first week of May, the Met Gala or The Metropolitan Museum Of Art Costume Institute Benefit as it is formally called is the fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum Of Art’s Costume Institute, in New York, and is invitation-only. Each year, many celebrities flock to this esteemed red carpet, sashaying their best interpretation for the theme of the year, and this time around the Met Gala 2024 theme, was ‘The Garden Of Time’.
All about the Met Gala 2024 theme
By now, we’re sure you’ve witnessed the various interpretations of the Met Gala 2024 theme, which was ‘The Garden Of Time’. Based on the short story by J.G. Ballard, where the main characters Count Axel and his wife live in a Palladian villa, and have a garden with crystal flowers that have the ability to turn back time. It is no wonder then, that for the Met Gala 2024 red carpet, we saw so many floral interpretations of the theme, each more breathtaking than the last.

The Met Gala 2024 guest list, as with all its previous seaons was painstakingly created by the institute and Anna Wintour, who has been serving as the chief organiser of the event since 1999.
