The 2024 Met Gala will feature 250 of the collection's objects, many of which have been rarely seen in public before, encouraged by technologies from A.I. to A.R.&nbsp;

Next year, on the first Monday in May, New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art will celebrate "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" with an anticipated event hosting a magnificent parade of celebrities. Even though this might be a romanticized title for the exhibition, it will not be about princess stories or fairy tales but benefiting high technologies and conservation to revive old garments. The exhibition will feature unique items drawn from the institute's permanent collection, while the show will also go high-tech. The star-studded Met Gala will indeed be "the" night of the high fashion scene of 2024, with 250 of the collection's garments and accessories. So, it seems like high fashion is willing to share the catwalk with the future. Including augmented reality, artificial intelligence, computer-generated images, x-rays, video animation and light projection, Met will host a catwalk where high fashion will go hand in hand with cutting-edge tools and technology. Besides, it would not be surprising to hear that there will even be soundscapes, recreating the subtle rustling of fabrics worn this year at the Met Gala.
Here is everything about the Met's Spring 2024 exhibition of "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."

When and where will the Met Gala 2024 take place?&nbsp;
As usual, the 2024 Met Gala will occur on the first Monday of May (May 6) in New York City at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.&nbsp;
What is the theme of Met Gala 2024?
Even though the Costume Institute's new exhibition is titled "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, the dress code has yet to be revealed. The exhibit will showcase approximately 250 rare items drawn from the Costume Institute's permanent collection, from designs by Schiaparelli to Givenchy, spanning 400 years of fashion history, and some garments that belong to those old collections are too fragile to be worn again. This is one of the points where breathtaking wearable art from the history of high fashion will receive technology support, as they are displayed via video animation, light projection, AI, CGI, and other forms of sensory stimulation. Also, the exhibition will present garments in glass coffins as ephemeral 'sleeping beauties', and visitors can observe their detailed craftsmanship and deterioration from close quarters. Visitors who want to breathe in the historical dust on these clothes, which are too delicate to be exhibited even on mannequins, will be able to see how they looked in their era with a unique projection technique called 'Pepper Ghost'. According to Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of the Costume Institute, the exhibition will be designed around three main "zones"&mdash;Land, Sea, and Sky&mdash; as an attribution to nature.&nbsp;
How can I (re)watch the Met Gala 2024?
The red carpet was live-streamed and broadcast live across digital platforms like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Last year's livestream co-hosts were La La Anthony, Derek Blasberg, Chloe Fineman, and Emma Chamberlain. You can stay tuned on how to watch the 2024 Met Gala since, in past years, fashion fans have followed all the action on live stream.
Who is the host of the Met Gala 2024?
The 2024 Met Gala hosts have yet to be revealed, but considering last year's Met Gala hosts included Pen&eacute;lope Cruz, Michaela Coel, Roger Federer, Dua Lipa, and Anna Wintour, you can expect to be fascinated by this year's choices.&nbsp;
How about the dress code?
The 2024 Met Gala dress code has yet to be announced, but guests are typically expected to wear eye-catching looks that significantly relate to that year's theme. Considering the ''Sleeping Beauties''&nbsp;suggests a focus on aesthetically significant and historically valuable garments, we can expect brands to delve into their archives to recreate pieces that fit these briefs. However, after Kim Kardashian wore and "damaged" Marilyn Monroe's 1962 Bob Mackie dress at the 2022 Met Gala, it's assumed guests will keep a distance from borrowing heritage dresses this year.&nbsp;
Who attends, and who is invited to the Met Gala?
The event usually hosts around 600 attendees as it welcomes stars, young creatives, and industry paragons each year, but Met also has a tradition that drives fashion lovers crazy with curiosity. Until the evening before the event, the list of guests is top secret. Still, some of the biggest names in the business regularly attend, including Beyonc&eacute;, Lady Gaga, Madonna and Rihanna. Also, designers are likely to participate in the night with their muses. You can expect to see Marc Jacobs with Kate Moss and Nicolas Ghesqui&egrave;re with Emma Stone.
