Established in 1948, this evening is annually themed, with guests expected to adhere to its theme. It begins with a cocktail hour followed by a formal dinner, all preceded by the iconic (but not always red) carpet parade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Exhibition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, from May 10th to September 2nd, 2024, the renowned New York museum will host an exhibition extending beyond tradition, exploring the concepts of rebirth and renewal in fashion. Using nature as a metaphor, this imagery will breathe new life into masterpieces from the museum&#8217;s collection through innovative technologies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Guests<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each year, numerous high-profile celebrities grace the event, and this year&#8217;s expected lineup appears to be incredibly rich, featuring names like Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, and Bad Bunny, who will serve as co-hosts. Details of the official guest list for this eagerly anticipated event are still sparse, leaving us eagerly awaiting Monday.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-379777 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-post_listing_preview'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/2022-costume-institute-benefit-in-america-an-anthology-of-fashion-2\/'><img width=\"790\" height=\"1185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-1395116457-790x1185.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post_listing_preview size-post_listing_preview\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-379371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-1395116457-790x1185.jpg 790w, https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-1395116457-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-1395116457-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-1395116457-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-1395116457-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-1395116457-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-1395116457-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-1395116457-585x878.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-1395116457-1x1.jpg 1w, https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-1395116457-1920x2880.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-1395116457-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-1395116457-scaled.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-379371'>\n\t\t\t\tNEW YORK, NEW YORK &#8211; MAY 02: Kim Kardashian attends the 2022 Costume Institute Benefit celebrating In America: An Anthology of Fashion at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 02, 2022 in New York City.
