Where is the Met Gala?
The Met Gala is held each year at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City.
The invite-only event highlights different fashion eras, with each theme celebrating a powerful moment in design.
For 2024, the Met Gala's theme is The Garden of Time, while the Costume Institute's new exhibition is titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.
Met Gala red carpet 2023 – Sydney Sweeney, Kylie Jenner, Jared Leto and more show off their most lavish looks
describes the exhibit as "the celebration of clothing and fashion so fragile that it can’t ever be worn again," causing them to be the "sleeping beauties in the scrupulous archives of the Costume Institute."
The Garden of Time, a short story written by J.G. Ballard in 1962, inspired this year's dress code, which refers to "fleeting beauty."
Most celebrities will likely walk the red carpet embracing the "garden" aspect of the theme, dressed in "melancholic" or "moody florals."
Others may "go beyond blooms—look at the lesser-used incarnations of flora and fauna in the fashion," and use "Land, Sea, and Sky subthemes" in their red-carpet looks.

However, not all celebrities have to pay the steep price of admission.
Fashion houses regularly foot the bill for tables – which can cost $300,000 or more – and design outfits for the event's A-list clientele in exchange for major publicity, exposure, and goodwill.
