Met Gala 2024: What to expect from fashion's biggest night

Anticipation for this year's Met Gala, often dubbed the Oscars of fashion, has peaked with the unveiling of the star-studded guest list that promises an evening of glamour, style, and high-profile appearances.

According to Page Six, among the luminaries set to grace the iconic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York are none other than music and fashion icon Rihanna, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, and reality TV star turned-model Kendall Jenner.


Joining these household names are rising stars Lily Gladstone and Ayo Edebiri, adding a fresh and dynamic element to the prestigious event.

Speculation is rife over whether Gisele Bundchen will be accompanied by her boyfriend, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, following reports of their deepening romance earlier this year. The supermodel, who has previously attended the Met Gala alongside ex-husband Tom Brady, is sure to turn heads with her impeccable style and grace.

Meanwhile, Rihanna, known for her daring and headline-grabbing ensembles, is poised to make yet another memorable entrance at the Met Gala. From her iconic yellow fur-trimmed gown to her pink-petaled masterpiece, the singer always delivers a show-stopping fashion moment.

Not to be outdone, Kendall Jenner will be making her mark on the Met Gala once again, continuing her streak of high-profile appearances at the event. However, the attendance of other members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan remains uncertain, leaving fans eager to see who else will make an appearance.

Joining this illustrious lineup are stars such as Olivia Rodrigo, Uma Thurman, Sarah Paulson, and Cara Delevingne, ensuring a diverse and star-studded affair.

Barry Keoghan, known for his role in Saltburn, has also secured a coveted invite after making waves with his red carpet debut last year.

The 2024 Met Gala theme is 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion' and an official dress code of 'The Garden of Time' promises to inspire creativity and innovation from the attendees, who will no doubt pull out all the stops to interpret the theme in their own unique ways, as per Page Six.

With tickets priced at USD 50,000 per person and approval required from fashion maven Anna Wintour, the Met Gala remains one of the most exclusive events on the global fashion calendar.

Leading the charge as co-chairs for this year's gala are Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, Bad Bunny, and Jennifer Lopez, with the latter rumoured to be donning a creation by Ralph Lauren for the occasion.

Past themes, including 'Camp' and 'Heavenly Bodies,' have set the bar high for creativity and spectacle, leaving fashion enthusiasts eagerly awaiting what promises to be another unforgettable night in the world of haute couture.

The Met Gala has been traditionally taking place every first Monday of May.

Commonly referred to as either the Met Ball or the Met Gala, the event is formally known as the Costume Institute Gala and is fundraiser dedicated to New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.

The Met Gala also marks the opening night of the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibit.

The 8-hour rebellion: Deepika Padukone walked off a blockbuster and lit a fire under Bollywood’s toxic work culture

It didn’t take a walkout on a picket line or a fiery press conference to shake the Indian film industry; it took Deepika Padukone quietly demanding, “Eight hours.” No dramatic monologue or sensational tweets. Just a simple request: humane hours, overtime pay, and a refusal to push her body and mind past the brink. And just like that, the conversation in Bollywood cracked wide open.

In an industry that glorifies overnight shoots, delayed pack-ups, and “dedication” measured in sweat, Padukone’s decision to exit a high-profile film, Spirit, over her demand for an eight-hour workday was certainly a career move for her. But beyond that, it was a cultural revolt.

Tom Felton returns as Draco Malfoy in Broadway’s 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child'

For the first time since the final Harry Potter film wrapped over a decade ago, Tom Felton is returning to the wizarding world, but not on screen. Instead, the actor is headed to Broadway, where he’ll take on the role of an adult Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The stage production, which continues the story 19 years after the original books, will now feature one of its most iconic characters portrayed by the man who first brought him to life.

Felton will join the cast at New York’s Lyric Theatre beginning 11 November 2025, for a limited 19-week run until 22 March 2026. This also marks his Broadway debut, making the moment doubly significant. Not only is he the first actor from the original film series to step into the stage version of the Potter universe, but he’ll be playing Draco at the exact age the character is in the play, creating a rare full-circle moment for both the actor and the fans.
