Who Is Invited to the Met Gala 2024?
The guest list for the Met Gala is always kept under wraps until the day of the event, but we can expect to see some of the biggest names in fashion, entertainment, sports and culture. The invitation-only event costs $35,000 USD per ticket, and tables can go for as high as $500,000 USD. The money raised from the event goes towards The Costume Institute’s annual budget.
Some of the celebrities who have attended previous Met Galas include Beyoncé, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian West, Kanye West, Harry Styles, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Bradley Cooper, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Lupita Nyong’o and many more.
What Are the Rules for the Met Gala 2024?
The Met Gala is known for its strict dress code, which requires guests to adhere to the theme of the exhibition. However, some celebrities have been known to bend or break the rules with their daring or unconventional outfits. For example, in 2019, Jared Leto carried a replica of his own head as an accessory, while Cara Delevingne wore a rainbow-striped bodysuit with a crystal-encrusted cane.
Besides the dress code, there are also some other rules that guests have to follow at the Met Gala. For instance, there is a no-phone policy that prohibits guests from taking selfies or posting on social media during the event. However, some celebrities have managed to sneak in some photos or videos from inside the venue, such as Kylie Jenner’s famous bathroom selfie in 2017.
Another rule that guests have to follow is to not smoke inside the museum. This rule was violated by several celebrities in 2017, who were caught smoking in the bathroom by a security guard. The incident caused a backlash from fans and museum staff, who criticized the celebrities for disrespecting the art and endangering the safety of others.
What Can We Expect from the Met Gala 2024?
The Met Gala is always full of surprises and spectacle, and we can’t wait to see what the 2024 event will bring. Based on the theme of “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” we can expect to see some stunning and creative interpretations of historical fashion and its relevance to contemporary culture. We can also look forward to seeing how celebrities will express their personalities and identities through their outfits.
The Met Gala is also a great opportunity for emerging designers and artists to showcase their talents and gain exposure. Some of the designers who have made their mark at previous Met Galas include Alexander McQueen, Rei Kawakubo, Virgil Abloh, and Christopher John Rogers.
The Met Gala is more than just a glamorous party; it’s also a celebration of art, culture, and creativity. It’s one of the most anticipated events of the year for fashion lovers everywhere, and we’re sure it will be worth the wait.
