The Met Gala’s theme for 2024was announced back in November 2023. Titled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” the upcoming Costume Institute exhibit will feature approximately 250 items — including 15 significant pieces such as an 1877 Charles Frederick Worth silk satin ball gown — that span over 400 years of history.
According to Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of the Costume Institute, the exhibition will be shaped around three main “zones”— Land, Sea, and Sky —that pay tribute to the natural world. “It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,” he said.

Pulling from the theme of Ballard’s short story,Voguenotes the dress code is ultimately about “fleeting beauty.” The publication also suggests that the short story will likely inspire many “melancholic florals” or possibly outfits relating to music and time. Additionally, many attendees will likely opt to wear timeless archival pieces (thinkKim Kardashian’s controversial Marilyn Monroe gownin 2022).
