Met Gala 2024: what really happens?

Just a few hours before the start of the 2024 Met Gala, excitement filled the air as New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art prepared to welcome the world's biggest stars.

The prestigious event operates under a strict no-phone policy, ensuring that what occurs inside remains a mystery to the outside world, prohibiting guests from sharing details or snapshots of their glamorous evening on social media.

Inside, the night includes a glimpse of the latest fashion exhibition followed by a lavish dinner.

The event also features performances by high-profile artists, enhancing the evening's exclusivity and allure.

Each year, the Met Gala not only showcases stunning fashion but also supports The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, blending culture, art, and philanthropy in one spectacular evening.

This year's Met Gala theme is The Garden of Time, inspired by J.G. Ballard's short story, showcasing a special fashion exhibition titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, featuring around 250 rare items.

Hosts for the evening includes famous faces like Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth.
