Fashion-heads and celebrity-watchers rejoice: after a year of waiting, fashion's big night is back!

The 2024 Met Gala is being held on Monday, May 6 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a slew of Hollywood's biggest names are preparing to walk the steps.

This year's event is being co-chaired by Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, Zendaya and Bad Bunny. As always, Vogue's Anna Wintour is at the helm at the Costume Institute benefit.

The theme — should the stars choose to follow it — is "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," with a dress code of "The Garden of Time." The corresponding Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute exhibit is "very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion," curator Andrew Bolton has said — meaning we can anticipate some moody florals on the carpet.

While who turns up is always a surprise, we can hope to see some Met regulars: The Kardashian-Jenner family, Rihanna, Blake Lively and more.

Barricades are up allowing access only on one side of N.Y.C.'s Fifth Avenue, but people gathered early — hours before we can expect even the first celebrities to arrive for the party.

Co-Host Jennifer Lopez Says She Can't Quite Walk in Her Look

While we haven't seen 2024 Met Gala co-host Jennifer Lopez's look just yet, we already know one detail about her ensemble: it's difficult to walk in.

Lopez, who is attending her thirteenth gala, told Good Morning America on Monday morning, May 6, that she is "barely" able to move in her outfit.

But, that's okay, she assured, as the Met Gala is not about "comfort."
