This 12 months’s Met Gala might be a backyard planted not with flowers, however with celebs. This 12 months’s theme, “A Backyard in Time,” relies on a brief story by J.G. Ballard. In that story, the wealthy cover themselves in Arcadian splendor whereas unwashed and rioting poors amass exterior. Well timed! The Gala might be in assist of this 12 months’s exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties,” a group of clothes too delicate to ever be worn once more. The primary Monday in Might will see stars stroll the Met steps and no matter insane carpet they determine to placed on it. (Final 12 months’s toothpaste-eque affair won’t ever be forgotten.) However simply who might be attending is a closely-guarded secret. We are able to, nevertheless, speculate wildly on the not too long ago guessed company.
Just about the one individuals completely assured to indicate as much as the Met are the occasion’s chairs. Planning the festivities this 12 months alongside Anna Wintour are Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Dangerous Bunny, and inexplicably, Chris Hemsworth. The Challengers costume designer, Jonathan Anderson, was confirmed in attendance by Zendaya. Rihanna instructed Vogue that she’d be carrying her personal manufacturers to the 2024 gala, saying “I’m gonna put on Fenty one thing! Fenty Magnificence, Fenty Pores and skin, Fenty Savage.”
So then who’s prone to attend? We are able to hazard a guess that Legislation Roach and Tom Holland might be sitting at Zendaya’s desk. Her Challengers co-stars Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist appear possible as effectively. And if Jen is coming, Ben might be there and doubtless serving grump. Will his emotional assist Matt Damon additionally make an look? Will Chris Hemsworth convey any of his brothers to the social gathering? Miley Cyrus hasn’t attended since 2019, so it’s in all probability secure for Liam to indicate.
Trend author Mandy Lee additionally made some good guesses in her Met Gala watch social gathering on TikTok. Lee suspects that “vogue it woman of the second” Ayo Edebiri may make her Met Gala debut, probs in Thom Browne. She additionally thinks Loewe’s Jonathan Anderson will convey Bones and All star Taylor Russell.
In keeping with Us Weekly, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are in all probability not coming. Swift has an Eras Tour cease three days later, however she made a tighter turnaround to see Kelce win the Tremendous Bowl. And Aimee Kim Kardashian can be rumored to not be on the listing. Followers speculate that this 12 months’s exhibit theme is shade thrown at Kardashian for carrying (and tearing?) Marilyn Monroe’s costume in 2022.
Doja Cat’s furry lewk was one of many greater serves of final 12 months’s gala, so she’s gotta come. And we’d like somebody at hand out cigs within the toilet, so Mary Kate and Ashley are in. Aubrey Plaza and John Waters ought to come, if solely to fundraise for their film. Colman Domingo’s matches had been a spotlight of 2024 Awards Season, so let’s give him one other probability to shine. It’s an election 12 months, so there must be at the very least politician making a very tone deaf look, possibly VP Kamala Harris? And clearly Cara Delevigne. Do we all know if her “peg the patriarchy” prime was misplaced when her home burned down?
