When Is This Yearâs Met Gala Taking Place?
The Met Gala is traditionally held on the first Monday in May. This year, the date is Monday, May 5. Arrivals will begin at 5:30 p.m. EST/2:30 p.m. PST.
Which Stars Will Be Attending the Met Gala?
Unlike awards shows, the Met Gala doesnât announce its guests ahead of time. The celebrity arrivals on the red carpet are usually meant to be a surprise.
Invited guests usually include actors and actresses, musicians, sports stars, social media influencers, businessmen and women and politicians. Some guests can get in without fitting into any of those qualities, but tickets to last yearâs Met Gala reportedly cost $75,000.
Will the Met Gala Be Televised?
No. While the red carpet arrival highlights will likely be in the news, no cable or broadcast network is televising the Met Gala. However, there is still a way to watch it.
Where Can the Met Gala Be Watched?
Since Vogue is running the event, it will be exclusively live-streamed on the magazineâs YouTube channel and official site. The livestream will start at 6 p.m. EST/3 p.m. PST.
E! will also live-stream all the red carpet arrivals on Live From E! with hosts Christian Siriano, Maria Taylor, Yvonne Orji, Zanna Roberts Rassi and Elaine Welteroth. E!âs coverage will be available on E! Online, Peacock and YouTube channels for E! News, Access Hollywood and Today.

Who Are the Co-Chairs of the Met Gala?
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has been the co-chair of the Met Gala since 1995, with only two exceptions. Actor Colman Domingo, race car driver Lewis Hamilton, and musicians ASAP Rocky and Pharrell Williams are the other co-chairs this year. Los Angeles Lakers player LeBron James is also an honorary co-chair, although the NBA playoffs schedule may prevent him from attending.
What Is the Theme of This Yearâs Met Gala?
Andrew Bolton, the chief curator of The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, announced that the name of this yearâs theme is âSuperfine: Tailoring Black Style.â It will revolve around the evolution of Black fashion. Attendees and their designers usually have a lot of leeway on how to interpret that theme into the outfits.
