The Met Gala is one of the world’s top fashion events. It happens every year on the first Monday of May, so mark your calendars for May 6th this year. The theme for the 2024 Met Gala is ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.’

How Celebrities Get Invited

The Met Gala brings together art and fashion on a grand scale, attracting numerous celebrities who showcase their stunning and often groundbreaking outfits. But getting into this exclusive event isn’t easy. It’s invitation-only, and while tickets are available for purchase, they’re not for just anyone. Prospective attendees have to go through a series of filters to secure their spot among the privileged guests.

The Met Gala ticket costs around $50,000, and if you’re looking to book a table, be prepared to shell out around $300,000. But keep in mind, these prices can change from year to year. Usually, it’s the big fashion names like Prada, Gucci, or Yves Saint Laurent who snag these tables and dress up the actors, models, and singers in their latest designs for the glamorous red carpet.

Getting an invite to the Met Gala is all about status. Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue, has the final say on who gets in. So, even if you’ve got the cash to spare, you can’t just buy your way in. You’ve gotta be on that exclusive guest list.

Met Gala 2024 Exhibition

Even though the main event takes place on May 6th, the museum’s exhibition will be open to the public starting May 10th. It’s been put together with the help of animation, artificial intelligence, and an artist who specializes in scents. The exhibition showcases various pieces incorporating elements like flowers or butterflies, all tied together by the theme of fleeting fashion.
