Celebrities from music, film and television walk the red carpet at the Met Gala, an event organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, every year on the night of the first Monday in May. This event aims to raise funds for the Costume Institute, which houses an extensive collection of clothing spanning from the 15th century to the present day.
Through an official statement, the organizers of the event announced that this year the evening has a co-presidency made up of the renowned urban music singer Bad Bunny actor and producer Chris Hemsworth, actress and singer Jennifer Lopez , the young actress Zendaya, and the writer and journalist Anna Wintour, the latter recognized as an authority figure at the gala. In addition, Shou Chew, CEO of the social network TikTok, and Jonathan Anderson, creative director of the luxury fashion house Loewe in Spain, were appointed as honorary presidents of the event.
Official Red Carpet Guest List for the 2024 Met Gala
In each edition of the gala, some names are constantly repeated. This is the case of the Kardashian-Jenner family, known for their striking looks, as well as the singer Rihanna and the iconic actress Blake Lively. In the weeks leading up to the event, there was speculation on social media about the possible presence of international singer Taylor Swift and her NFL partner, Travis Kelce. However, as reported by E!, Swift will not attend this year due to the commitments of her European tour ‘The Eras Tour’, which has already sold out all of her tickets.
Similar unknowns surrounded the possible attendance of Beyoncé and Selena Gómez. Importantly, the Met Gala guest list is never revealed before the night of the event. Therefore, apart from the organizers, no one knows for sure who the guests will be. Celebrities, once they receive the invitation, must RSVP.
