7.128/366: met gala preview

The Met Gala red carpet is happening now. Here’s the info on this year’s theme and a preview of what’s coming in my wrap-up tomorrow.

From Variety:

The 2024 Met Gala is live and the fashion is in full bloom.

Anna Wintour’s co-chairs for the evening are Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth. This will be Hemsworth’s first time attending the ball, while the other three co-chairs have participated in previous years. The theme of “The Garden of Time” is drawn from J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story of the same name. The garden party theme is already in full bloom as the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s stairway is adorned with hundreds of fake flowers. This gala complements the Met’s current exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”

Here are two people I’ve never heard of in a group of 400 attendees. The guest list is incredibly exclusive and Vogue takes the Gala more serious than you could imagine. The First Monday in May is a great documentary about it.

I looked them up. She’s a former Disney Channel girl who is trying to break out of the child actor thing.
