May 6 (UPI) — The 2024 edition of the Met Gala, a star-studded party that celebrates a new fashion-themed exhibition at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art each year, is scheduled for Monday night.

This year's Costume Institute theme is "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."

The exhibit showcases clothing and fashion "so fragile that it can't ever be worn again," or "sleeping beauties" in the institute's archives, according to Vogue.

Guests have been instructed to wear ensembles inspired by "The Garden of Time."
