The 2024 Met Gala, held on the first Monday in May, has officially ended. The 2024 Costume Institute exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, titled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” will feature approximately 250 items drawn from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection, many of which have rarely been seen in public before. 

What was the 2024 Met Gala Theme?

The official dress code for the 2024 Met Gala was "The Garden of Time," in honor of the Costume Institute's new exhibition "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion." About 250 rare objects from the Costume Institute's permanent collection will be on display. The designs, which span more than 400 years of fashion history, will feature creations by Schiaparelli, Givenchy, Dior, and other designers. Additionally, there will be displays of clothing that are too delicate to ever be worn again, such as an 1877 ball gown designed by Charles Frederick Worth, through the use of light projection, artificial intelligence, computer graphics, and other sensory stimulation techniques.

Your Desi Girl and Pan-As the "most visible" star at the Met Gala, Alia Bhatt of India outperformed Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian with her gorgeous presence in a handcrafted Sabyasachi saree. Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and Alia top the list of the most visible celebrities, according to influencer marketing platform Lefty.

Instagram users could see Alia Bhatt's photos from the Met Gala, along with a lengthy description explaining the significance of her outfit. It was an homage to art and eternity, a summons to the Garden of Time. They recognize that things made with care and patience can endure a lifetime and that timelessness has no boundaries. The outfit had its journey in search of an Indian interpretation of this universal issue. The saree is the epitome of tradition and innovation; under the expert guidance of @sabyasachiofficial, this idea was fully realized. They took inspiration from the ageless grace of Indian nobles and looked to the past to shape the present.

• “We focused on intricate craftsmanship, incorporating hand embroidery, precious stones, along with elegant beadwork and fringes, distinctive of the 1920’s fringe style. Our color palette pays homage to nature’s beauty, echoing the earth, sky, and sea. We embraced a delicate nostalgia for hair and makeup - an elevated coiffure embellished with intricately woven braids and soft freckles - a homage to time’s gentle caress.
• “Creating this has been quite an experience… fun and stressful in equal parts. It has taken a collective effort of 163 dedicated individuals, including master craftspeople, embroiderers, artists, and dyers, investing a total of 1965 man-hours to create this ethereal saree. As I wear this outfit, I feel incredibly grateful to embody this exquisite creation, a testament to boundless love and painstaking effort. A big thank you to Anaita Shroff Adajania, Laksh Milehr, Puneet Saini, Amit Hakur, Dolly Jain, and my amazing team for being the most wonderful collaborators through this ‘Garden of Time’. Teamwork makes the dream work,” she wrote.
