Once upon a time, Anna Wintour caused some confusion.
When it came to the theme of the 2024 Met Gala, attendees were encouraged to curate their look according to the 'Garden of Time' dress code, which was chosen to complement the exhibition's title. Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”. But ahead of the May 6 event, Anna admitted the combination broke one of her no's for the annual fundraiser.
“Well, this exhibition broke my cardinal rule,” he said Today's Jenna Bush Hager. “That's how we came up with the title 'Sleeping Beauties', it's wonderful, poetic and romantic, but in reality, it could be many, many things.”
That's why the dress code usually aligns closely with the exhibition's title, giving attendees specific parameters on which to model their look.
This year, however, when curator of the Costume Institute Andrew Bolton selected “Garden of Time” as the dress code, the Vogue The editor-in-chief joked that she's not sure her choice helped that much.
“I'm afraid we've caused a lot of confusion out there,” he laughed, “for which I apologize. I imagine we're going to see a lot of flowers.” (Which turned out to be true. See all the red carpet fashion here.)
